Jenny Adams Salmela (She/her)

In addition to my therapy career, I have an additional decade of work in education and training in the social service sector with a focus on leadership in career development. Life transitions are difficult, and in our current world we will make many career transitions over our lifespan. As common as this is, it can be difficult, anxiety inducing, at times demoralizing, and confusing (in addition to exciting). Let me help you to approach your next steps with confidence and ease.

I have extensive training in dual diagnosis (mental health/substance use) work and have specialized in this field in public health practice. I have also led dual diagnosis therapy groups for 15 years and enjoy this wok immensely. Reducing substance use, gambling, and other addictions is difficult, but possible. Support is a primary tool for change. I'd love to be a partner to you in this journey.

I am an experienced trauma therapist with extensive training in EMDR, ego state "parts" work, and holistic approaches. Healing trauma is a lifelong journey. It is a patient process that begins with establishing a trusting relationship with one's Self. I will partner with you to begin the work of reconnecting with your innate Self and building resources for containment first and foremost. We can then move into deeper trauma work, when and if, you feel ready for this step.

I have a Master's degree in Holistic Health studies and have dedicated my career to integrative approaches to healing. I enjoy bringing in your cultural strengths and practices to our work. I employ mindfulness approaches and focus on compassion: towards self, others, and the natural world, as a part of our work. I encourage time in nature, readings, art, music, podcasts, meditation, and community connection as healing work.

I am an experienced trauma therapist with extensive training in EMDR (EMDRIA certified), ego state "parts" work, and holistic trauma healing. I believe that the moral injury of trauma disconnects us from ourselves and that our first step in healing is to reconnect with our innate Self. This is a patient process and lifelong journey. We will practice trauma containment skills before moving to deeper trauma work (if and when you are ready) to ensure that you feel safe and prepared for this step.

Motivational Interviewing, Mindfulness, and Integrative approach to recovery work.

I utilize a number of modalities including but not limited to Ego State "parts" work, Eye Movement Desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), Mindfulness, and self compassion based practices in my trauma work. Trauma work is highly individualized to your needs based upon your current functioning, supports, and interests.

I am in support of your individual recovery needs and will help you to link to a wider recovery community such as SMART Recovery, AA/NA/CMA/GA, Health Realization, Dharma Recovery etc. if group based support would be helpful to you.
