Stephen Jennings

As a bisexual man, my adolescence almost felt like two puberties back-to-back. When I first got feelings for another man, I was suddenly faced with a whole new set of questions about my identity, my values, my relationships, and what I wanted for my future. Through those teenage years, I wished I had someone to talk to, someone who had also worked through those fundamental, existential questions. Eventually, I was blessed to find the mentors I needed, and now I want to pass along that wisdom. I know what it’s like to wonder who you are and what your place in life is, and I want to help others grappling with that uncertainty. No matter what is holding someone back, I want to be there next to them, encouraging them to take ownership of their life, their values, and their strengths.

Change is hard. Whether it’s a move, a loss of a loved one, or a new job, transitions can be some of the most challenging things you work through. Even if it’s a transition you expect or choose, often it still isn’t easy. You have to ask yourself, “How do I move forward?”. You may even ask yourself, “Who am I now?”. The stress of uncertainty can take your sleep, your appetite, your relationships, or even the activities you used to love. Sometimes you might have to numb those feelings just to get through your day.

So many things can keep us from living the life we want to live. In our time together, we’ll explore those issues with empathetic openness. I want to offer you a space for honest reflection without fear or shame, where we can talk about the problems you can’t discuss with most people. As we make sense of all this, we’ll consider your goals and values, and we’ll find you the tools and resources you need to make realistic changes to reach those goals. I want you to leave our sessions feeling heard and empowered, and with a deeper understanding of yourself and your life.

I am so excited for what we can accomplish together! I know it can be intimidating, but please don’t hesitate to call our office today and schedule a session.
