Welcome September 🍂✨

There’s something powerful about the turning of a page. A fresh month brings with it the chance to reset, refocus, and realign with what matters most.

It’s a reminder that growth doesn’t have to wait for a new year, it can begin right here, right now.

This season invites us to slow down, reflect on where we’ve been, and open ourselves to new possibilities.

Whether it’s practicing self-care, nurturing relationships, or building healthier habits, September offers a gentle reminder that change is always possible.

💛 Therapy can be a safe place to explore these shifts and support you in creating the life you envision.

We are here for you if you need us.

Teens face unique challenges, but therapy provides a safe space to explore emotions and grow. Help your teen build resilience and confidence this summer. Start the conversation today.

When a teen or tween visits with one of our clinicians who specializes in therapy for this age group, they will have the opportunity to talk through their difficult thoughts or life changes, discuss trouble they may be experiencing at home or in other settings, and express some of the big emotions that are impacting them.

We’re excited to welcome Jennifer Tepper, MS, CADC, NCC to the Counseling Works team! 🧠💬

Jennifer specializes in individual and group therapy for young adults and adults navigating addictions, substance use, co-occurring disorders, career development, and stress management. She also supports clients experiencing anxiety, depression, OCD, and major life transitions.

With over 700 hours of clinical internship in a hospital-based behavioral health program and four years in a residential treatment facility, Jennifer brings deep knowledge and heart to her work—meeting clients with honesty, compassion, and real-world tools that empower growth.

Jennifer shares:
“I prioritize educating clients on the therapy process and the modalities used. It’s essential in helping clients feel informed and empowered.”

Her clinical style combines structured goal-setting with flexibility. She meets you where you are, and allowing space for your immediate needs and priorities.

Jennifer integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients reflect on their values and develop a stronger sense of self:

“ACT allows individuals to recognize what’s contributing to difficulties in certain areas of life and move through challenges with intention.”

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to explore thought patterns and how they influence behaviors, and DBT to support emotional regulation and daily functioning:

“Clients will encounter situations beyond their control. DBT gives them healthy outlets to maintain their routines and emotional balance.”

📲 Jennifer is now accepting new clients. Reach out today to take the first step in your wellness journey.

Starting therapy can come with questions, especially if the therapist who best fits your schedule happens to be younger. It’s natural to wonder if they’ll be the right match for you.

Here’s the truth: Gen-Z therapists bring unique strengths to the therapy space: from fresh training and perspectives to an authentic awareness of today’s challenges.

Many also work under ongoing supervision, meaning they’re constantly learning and growing while being supported by seasoned professionals.

At the heart of it all, therapy isn’t about your therapist’s age: it’s about the relationship you build together. Empathy, compassion, and creating a safe space for your healing journey are what matter most.

📲 If you’re curious about what working with a Gen-Z therapist could look like, our team is here to help you find the right fit.

Check out more info by reading our blog written by our clinician Alizah Wadri, MSW, LSW.

Life changes affect relationships, but they don’t have to derail them. Whether it’s navigating new schedules, parenting dynamics, or simply feeling distant, couples counseling can help rebuild connection. Start your path to understanding and connection today.

Our knowledgeable clinicians have experience working with couples at all stages of relationships. Whether you’re starting something new or you’ve been together for decades, counseling can help you overcome relationship issues to develop a more fulfilling partnership. We also provide support for those who are experiencing issues within non-romantic relationships, including parent-child relationships, business partnerships, friendships, and more.

We’re thrilled to welcome Alyssa Wilderman, MA, LPC to the Counseling Works team! 🌿

Alyssa supports individuals, couples, & families navigating complex trauma, relationship issues, women’s issues, ADHD, anxiety, depression, & life transitions. Her compassionate & collaborative approach helps clients find healing, clarity, and strength.

Alyssa shares,�“Complex trauma seeps into many parts of life, affecting how you feel about yourself, trust others, or manage emotions. I specialize in gently untangling these layers with you, creating a safe, compassionate space to rebuild your sense of safety and self-worth, and to help you reclaim your story and move toward healing at your own pace.”

When working with relationships, she focuses on uncovering the deeper patterns:
�“Whether you’re navigating conflict, disconnection, or longing for deeper intimacy, I work collaboratively with you to uncover the patterns beneath the surface—often shaped by attachment history and past wounds. Together, we turn toward vulnerability and understanding, transforming your relational struggles into opportunities for growth, connection, and genuine repair.”

For women, her work is empowering:
�“From identity and self-worth to navigating societal pressures and life transitions, my focus is on helping women reclaim their voices and stand in their truth.”

Alyssa’s therapeutic approach draws from IFS, DBT, Trauma-Focused CBT, and strength-based methods to create a safe, welcoming environment for growth.

Alyssa wants her clients to know:�“You don’t need the perfect words, a clear goal, or even a full understanding of what’s bringing you in. Just showing up is an act of strength. Therapy is a space where you get to be fully human—messy, uncertain, overwhelmed, curious—and that’s not only okay, it’s welcome. We’ll figure things out together, at your pace.”

📲 Alyssa is now accepting new clients—reach out to schedule your first session.
