Jenna Green

Therapist

Virtual • Florida


Hi, I’m Jenna, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor offering an affirming, judgment-free space for adults who want to understand themselves a little better and build a life that actually feels like their own.

I specialize in trauma and grief, helping people make sense of experiences that have changed them, navigate loss in all its forms, and find a way forward without feeling like they have to erase or “get over” what happened.

I especially enjoy working with LGBTQ+ clients, creatives, healthcare professionals, and people navigating anxiety, depression, relationships, identity, self-worth, and life transitions. I have a particular interest in supporting healthcare professionals who carry the emotional weight of caring for others, process difficult or traumatic experiences, cope with loss, or try to reconnect with themselves after burnout.

Bethany Bowater

Bethany Bowater

Therapist

Virtual • Florida


My interest in mental health began during my military service as a Survival Instructor in the United States Airforce. During this time, I had the privilege of teaching students from all walks of life the skills to survive in any environment. I became fascinated with human behavior, stress management/responses and the profound capabilities of the mind, body and spirit when faced with adversity. While navigating through the wilderness, a waypoint is defined as "a stop along ones journey." It is a safe place where the traveler can take shelter, rest, gain insight on where they've been, accept and honor where they are, and determine their way forward. It's a place for healing. This is what I strive to provide for my clients. I completed my Master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling through Northwestern University. I have experience counseling couples, teens, adult individuals, and groups. As an Airforce veteran, I have a passion for serving military members and their families. Other interests include working with blended families, and LGBTQ+ individuals and their parents
