01 · Where you are

Something isn't right anymore.

01

But you're not happy

You're normally the capable, driven survivor. But right now, beneath your 'got-it-together' façade, you feel lost and untethered, maybe even a little scared.

02

Life happens

We all exist in relationships. Our relationships are what give us meaning and connection. When their quality suffers, we suffer.

03

You're not a quitter

But you're at a loss for what to do next, and it feels like you have nothing more to give.

It doesn't have to be this way. It can be different.

Karen D. Jennett, LPC. Couples, individuals and discernment counseling at RiverBend Counseling.

Rooted in reality, practicality and skepticism.

My mind has always leaned toward the rational and pragmatic. I'm the child of lawyers, and my years working as a family law paralegal further honed my analytic and detail-oriented mind.

I was attending law school when I had an epiphany in the middle of a civil procedure lecture. My therapist suggested I might consider becoming a therapist myself. The idea had honestly never crossed my mind.

I knew then that I'd be a different kind of therapist, for people who would appreciate a professional approach that values their apprehension and caution.

“I will listen to you and give you honest feedback to help you get where you want to go.”
03 · What I offer

A different way forward.

01

Individual Therapy

A safe and supportive place to explore what you need to connect authentically to yourself, your life, and the people who matter to you. Together we take a straightforward look at your values, needs, boundaries, and realistic plans for change.

50 or 90 minute sessions

02

Couples Therapy

For committed couples who notice their relationship isn't what they want it to be. Karen uses Gottman Method Couples Therapy, starting with a comprehensive assessment before a personalized plan.

90 minute and marathon sessions

03

Discernment Counseling

For couples where one partner is considering divorce and is not completely sure. The only assumption is that you are both willing to pause and decide whether to end it or mend it.

One to five sessions, about two hours each

04

Teletherapy

Individuals, couples and groups on a secure, HIPAA-compliant virtual platform, from a private space of your choosing. Reduced rates compared to in-person sessions.
