About Jennafer Matthews

Hi, and welcome to BetterHelp! My name is Jenna Matthews (she/her/hers). I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with over 11 years of experience helping children, teens, and adults navigate a wide range of mental health challenges. Whether you’re facing anxiety, depression, trauma, or simply feeling stuck, I offer a supportive and safe space where you can feel heard, respected, and empowered to grow.

My approach is person-centered, which means I believe you are the expert of your own life. My role is to walk alongside you with compassion, curiosity, and encouragement. I also draw from strengths-based and trauma-informed practices, helping you to identify and build on the resilience and skills you already have. And, yes! A healthy dose of humor may be part of the process. Healing doesn’t always have to be heavy.

Above all, I strive to create a trusting, collaborative relationship where you can be yourself and work at your own pace. Reaching out for support is a powerful first step, and I’m honored to be part of your journey.
