Hello
I'm Jenivee Akalis, LCSW, and I'm passionate about empowering you to find your best self and create the life you desire.
With a Master's degree in Social Work from the University of Utah, where I specialized in Substance Abuse and the Forensic Domain, my career has focused on helping individuals heal from trauma. While I'm not currently accepting new clients, I want to share my background and approach.
My Story
As a wife, mother, and professional, I understand the many hats we wear and the challenges and joys that come with each role. This personal experience, combined with my professional training, has given me a deep understanding of the complexities of life. I specialize in treating trauma, including healing from sexual abuse and working with offenders. I'm skilled in addressing PTSD, depression, anxiety, childhood trauma, women's issues and empowerment, and developing healthy communication skills. I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, emphasizing self-empowerment. I am Internal Family Systems (IFS) Level 1, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Level 1 trained clinician. I'm am member of the LGBTQ-Affirmative Psychotherapist Guild.
I believe in creating a supportive and empowering environment where you can explore your experiences and develop the tools you need to thrive.
While I'm not taking on new clients at this time, I hope this gives you a sense of my background and approach.
