I have been seeing Jennifer Rieck as my therapist, both in solo sessions, and with my wife, for several months. With her help I have made great progress identifying the root causes of some negative behaviors. That has been the saving of my marriage & put me on a path to better mental health & happiness. I wholeheartedly recommend her as a therapist.
Jenn has been incredible in helping me. She provides good ideas for coping with day to day challenges but, more importantly, she’s helped me get to the root of my issues to address those.
Jennifer’s compassion and professionalism have been instrumental in my progress and journey. Her schema based approach has enabled me to move forward and to better understand my mental health. Jennifer’s knowledge and background are a treasure trove of information that have served to bring me closer to my goals. I can’t say enough about her support and guidance as she has helped me develop skills to work towards a happier and more settled life. A caring therapist and hard work can really make a difference. I feel so fortunate to have found such a caring and inspiring therapist in Jennifer.
