Hi, I'm Jennifer Shanks, LSCW, LCDAC (she/ her)! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and EMDR provider with 24 years of experience specializing in helping adults and adolescents develop effective coping strategies for managing stress and anxiety in daily life. My expertise encompasses a range of areas, including depression, anxiety, trauma, stress management, coping skills, and self-acceptance.
For the past 13 years, I have worked within educational settings, providing me with unique insights into the challenges faced by students, parents, and educators.
My approach is client-focused, relaxed, and compassionate, fostering a comfortable environment where individuals can express themselves and pursue their goals at their own pace. If you are ready to embark on a journey towards a healthier and happier life, I invite you to connect with me to start this important work together.
Therapy is a relationship, and finding the right fit is essential. I encourage clients to explore their options. Don't hesitate to ask questions or interview potential therapists to ensure you're comfortable with the treatment process.
The therapeutic alliance, the bond between client and therapist, is what drives change, transformation, and progress, helping clients move toward their goals of symptom relief and healing.

Under Section 2799B-6 of the Public Health Service Act, health care providers and health care facilities are required to inform individuals who are not enrolled in a plan or coverage or a Federal health care program, or not seeking to file a claim with their plan or coverage both orally and in writing of their ability, upon request or at the time of scheduling health care items and services, to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” of expected charges.
You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost.
Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services.
You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.
Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service.
If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.
