Jenna Dodoer

MA Counselor

Hello! My name is Jenna, and I am a master’s level counselor dedicated to guiding you on your journey to self-discovery and healing. I hold a BA in Theatre & Acting from Columbia College Chicago, a minor in Studio Arts from Northern Illinois University, and an MA in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Governors State University. My diverse background includes experience in musical theatre, early childhood education, marketing, and social media. Additionally, I am Reiki certified, passionately believing in the potential for individual healing.

I seek to guide my clients along their healing journey with a blend of therapeutic and holistic approaches. In session, I incorporate reiki healing, journaling exercises, sound healing, art therapy, guided meditation, play therapy, nature therapy, inner child healing exercises, shadow work, oracle readings, and much more. Each session is uniquely personalized based on your individual needs, helping you explore those deeper parts of yourself you’ve longed to connect with.

I am here to foster a supportive therapeutic connection, assisting you in exploring belief systems, navigating life events, addressing trauma, managing conflicts, and enhancing relationships. Whether you’re a child, adolescent, adult, or couple, my holistic and personalized approach is tailored to where you are in your healing journey.
