Jen teigen Clinical Social Work/Therapist, MSW, RSW Kelowna, bc
With over 25 years working directly with youth and families in a variety of mental health settings, I have seen how life can disrupt building meaningful connections with ourselves and others. My passion is to help you reconnect with yourself and those important to you, whether it’s your kids, your partner, or those in your social network. Together we can build an empowering space that supports you to show up in ways that align with your true self.
Areas where I can help support you include: assistance with navigating life transitions, strengthening communication skills (such as conflict management, communicating your needs, and emotion regulation) and helping you build a stronger relationship with yourself and others. As a mom of two adult kids, I also enjoy supporting parents and helping them with fostering secure attachments with their child, navigating conflict, and looking closely at how your needs as a parent are being met.
I come from a background in attachment theory, emotion focused therapy, trauma-informed perspectives, and narrative therapy. I like to integrate these theories in a relational, client-centered, and holistic approach by working collaboratively with you and personalizing my skill set to what suits you best.
If you find yourself bumping up against things that don’t flow with what you need or who you are, please contact me to learn more about how I can get you one step closer to what you need. I offer in-person and virtual sessions.
