About Jenn: 

Hi there! My name is Jenn Birkle and I am a bilingual Licensed Clinical Marriage and Family therapist. I graduated with honors from Wichita State University in 2009 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology and then from Friends University in 2013 with a Master of Science degree in Marriage and Family Therapy. Since that time, I have been in a clinical setting helping individuals, families and couples embark on a self-reflecting adventure towards healing and harmony. With several years of practice under my belt, I have truly learned to appreciate and work with the complexity of life’s stressors such as: depression, anxiety, PTSD, OCD, relational conflict and resolution, struggles with body image, self-harm, toxic perfectionism, domestic violence, assimilation of culture(s), single or chronic trauma, questions about faith, personality disorders and many other concerns.

My approach to counseling is to create an environment where clients can feel heard, understood and accepted; meanwhile, learning to increase their awareness and insight so that rapid-fire reactions ultimately turn in to thoughtful and intentional responses. I use a humanistic style by seeing the good in others and help cheerlead my clients to their own definition of a “finish line.” I believe in The Lord’s power over all and trust in His divine plan for this sometimes chaotic world we inhabit and the characters in our individual stories.

I am trained and passionate about Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing therapy (EMDR, for short) which is geared to treat disorders like trauma, PTSD, phobias, anxiety, etc. and Trust Based Relational Intervention therapy (TBRI) designed for children and teens from hard places. It is a family based intervention that helps reduce conflict, rewire and retrain our brains to act more adaptively and to improve the love and attachment we have with our caregivers and ourselves.
It would be an honor to partner with you in your walk towards wellness and joy. Thank you for reading!
