Jenna Pepple, LMSW

Whether you’re a young person struggling with anxiety, perfectionism, or low self-esteem; a teen navigating peer stress, identity questions, or family tension; a parent looking for support around emotional regulation, behavior challenges, or school issues; or a college student facing burnout, pressure to perform, or feelings of disconnection, I aim to create a space where young people feel seen, respected, and safe to show up as their full selves, whether they’re talkative, quiet, silly, skeptical, or somewhere in between.

I specialize in working with kids, teens, and young adults navigating big emotions, tough transitions, or moments when the world just feels hard to handle. I have experience supporting clients with trauma, attachment disruptions, and emotional dysregulation.

My approach to therapy is grounded in curiosity, consistency, and connection. It’s developmentally attuned, adapting to each stage of childhood and adolescence, with a playful, creative lens for younger kids and a collaborative, strengths-based style for teens and young adults. I draw on tools from evidence-based approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), play therapy, and mindfulness, blended with a relational foundation. When appropriate, I work closely with parents and caregivers, without losing sight of the child or teen’s voice.

If this sounds like the right fit for you or your child, I’d love to hear from you.
