Why Clients Feel at Home with Compassionate Counseling and Coaching
It can be quite challenging to deal with life, particularly if you are affected by ADHD, ASD or NVLD. What seems easy for most people, such as time management, understanding others and controlling emotions, can really exhaust a neurodivergent person, making them feel helpless and hopeless. It is for these reasons that Compassionate Counseling was created.
Dedicated therapist Jennifer Lerner leads Compassionate Counseling, which offers counseling appointments online to anyone in New York State, as well as skills coaching in any state. With her experience and clinical background, Jennifer enables her clients to feel comfortable, confident, and ready to live their best lives.
A Therapist Who Gets It, Because She Lives It
Besides being professionally qualified, Jennifer has her own experience of what it means to feel different. Jennifer was recognized to have Non-Verbal Learning Disorder (NVLD) as she grew up. She faced the difficulty of not being able to fit in with peers, understand certain academic and social concepts, or keep up with daily expectations.
Facing hardships, Jennifer overcame obstacles by getting help from her parents, teachers, and specialists, learning to self-advocate. Over the years, she created ways of handling, learning and overcoming adversities, and now, she uses these methods to help her clients succeed, as they face similar challenges.
Because of the challenges that Jennifer has had to face, she has outstanding skills in empathy and insight. People usually say that Jennifer makes them feel understood when they speak with her. Her client feedback has proven to be evidence of this.
Therapy Available in a Warm, Open, and Productive Way
At Compassionate Counseling and Coaching, sessions are conducted virtually, which is more convenient and relaxing for clients. Even if your time is stretched among family, work and classes, you can get high-quality therapy, no matter where you are most comfortable.
