Jill Bladl, MS, LMFT 
​Clinic Director
​Clinical Supervisor
Areas of Focus: Children (up to 12), Adults (18+), & Couples ​

I believe an environment that is inclusive, non-judgmental, and fosters the belief that you are heard and valued is the cornerstone for the growth, change, and healing you desire. I am passionate about creating that environment, so you feel nurtured, safe, and empowered to experience vulnerability, face challenges, and develop the coping skills necessary to regain your personal strength and find joy in your day-to-day. By using a combination of solution, narrative, cognitive behavioral and emotionally focused therapy we will work together to tailor your therapeutic journey to meet the individual or relational challenges you face.  
   
I have experience working with children, as young as age four, teens, and adults in individual and couple sessions. My areas of interest include anxiety, blended family processes, communication enhancement, depression, emotional regulation and related behavioral difficulties, healing from trauma and abuse, life transition changes, mindfulness practices, relationship concerns, self-esteem challenges, and stress management.

I value the uniqueness each client brings into the therapeutic relationship and strive to create a space that feels welcoming, safe, and free from judgement. It is my hope that my genuine care, empathy, and acceptance helps each client feel comfortable to be vulnerable and share honestly about their struggles.

​My passion for this field started with wanting to be a positive, supportive, genuine person who will have an impact on someone's life. It is my goal to provide a comfortable, open, and trusting environment for clients to work to better themselves. I value a strong client-therapist relationship as this will be beneficial throughout the therapy process. My therapy approach is client centered, as I believe everyone has control of their own life and the changes they want to make. I want to help clients recognize their strengths, build emotional awareness, and develop effective life skills.

I enjoy working with children, adolescents, and young adults of all backgrounds. I have experience working with individuals with a wide range of mental health concerns and different life stressors.
