Are you feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsatisfied? Perhaps you are ready to make changes in your life, seeking a new direction, or are ready to embark on a new journey. Whether you are grieving a loss, experiencing the effects of traumatic events, or have been exposed to conflicts in your relationships, I want to hear your story. I welcome you to bring your grief, infidelity, and questions or concerns surrounding sex and relationships into our space. Together we can build a collaborative relationship that will inspire you to take control of your story and empower you to narrate your future.
Sometimes life places us in circumstances that feel embarrassing or shameful. Working together in a safe, therapeutic, and nonjudgemental atmosphere will be an essential part of our relationship. I strive to create a safe, open environment where you can feel comfortable talking about the difficult places you have been.
I am also passionate and have experience working with minorities and members of the LGBTQ+ community. I provide comprehensive services for those exploring gender identity and those on the path to transition and beyond.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Jenny understands my needs and concerns and i feel supported in my issues.

Jenny is the best therapist I’ve worked with so far. She gets what’s going on behind my humor/sarcasm, which had always been my biggest struggle with people. She is VERY empathetic and always knows the right thing to say. I struggle with expressing my feelings using terms; so I send long stories, and she always responds with strong attention to details. Thanks to her, I now see life in more colors :) She goes above and beyond to put a smile to on your face. I don’t know how she does it. I wish there were more than five stats in a rating.
I've had quite a few counselors in my life and none have helped me more than her. She's extremely understanding and helpful. I'd recommend her 100%.
She's wonderful! Really goes above and beyond. Recently went through a big move and I'm really glad she was here to get me through it!
My counselor, Jenny McClarren, is the best counselor I have ever had. She truly listens to me and gives me thought provoking questions and timely advice. I finally feel that I am beginning to heal.
Jenny has been an amazing counselor. She listens and responds to all of my concerns.
Jenny is always compassionate and empathetic she provides me with great guidance as I walk this journey
Jenny is thoughtful and flexible. She is a great listener and really allows you to get out what you need. She provided potential solutions, alternative ways to look at things, and though provoking questions.
Jenny continues to be a source of support and encouragement for me. I am blessed to have her walking with me.
Jenny is fantastic!
Jenny is amazing! She is thoughtful, kind, and knowledgeable. She has really been able to give me perspective on things and always has multiple solutions to offer to any problem I have. If she doesn't have a solution that works for me, she will find one! She's the best!
I love Jenny and working with her has helped me unravel many pieces of my trauma history and it’s impact on my current functioning.
Jenny is wonderful. She treats me with respect and acknowledges my own expertise in my life while helping to guide each of the decisions and pieces of work I have done.
I can already tell that Jenny is going to be better than other therapists I have tried -- she is on top of things and asks the right questions to make you see things from another perspective. She also manages expectations by asking what your expectations are from therapy sessions....this is incredibly refreshing. During chaotic times, it is really important to feel like your counselor has a thought-out plan and you are not floating in space and opening up without a purpose or reason. She is wonderful on the phone and over messages.
She's one of the very few councilors who actually takes the time to listen. I don't worry that I'm going to get lost in the conversation, which was a problem with other therapists.
Jenny is a understanding and compassionate person. She is wonderful at listening, giving suggestions, handling out worksheets or charts to help me to figure out what I am going through. She is wonderful!
Jenny is very patient and I really appreciate her help with my problems. Definitely opened my eyes to things I’ve never thought of previously.
Jenny is very professional.
I've never had a counselor like Jenny, I'm so lucky
She is amazing, and has helped me through a lot!
Jenny is a really good listener and offers relevant and useful advice that pertains directly to your current situation.
Jenny is there when you need her. She listens and helps you get through some difficult times.
Jenny is amazing! She is the only counselor I feel safe talking to.
Jenny has been a very compassionate, helpful counselor.
I was very anxious about trying this app. I was worried I would pay and not get a counselor I could connect with, but on the first try I was connected with Jenny. Jenny is wonderful! She has reduced my stress and anxiety. I can tell her anything and I know she puts time and thought into her reply. She is there for me!
I’ve been speaking with Jenny for about two weeks and from when I started to now she has made me feel so much better about things in my life. She’s so supportive and listens carefully to everything and helps me come up with new ways to better my situation. Honestly I would be in a very dark place if it weren’t for her.
Jenny is very supportive and helpful.
She is very caring, she listens, and she offers alternatives to help you cope with your situation.
Jenny is a very good counselor. She listens to you, and helps guide you to the best possible solution for you.
Jenny has spent several months helping me out of a dark place, and along the way being the biggest supporter in my corner. It doesn't matter if I need someone to help me with problems like depression and a poor relationship with food, or just someone to listen to me complain about a past relationship rearing its ugly head. She's always there, always honest and calm, and always makes me feel like I am in a better place than before I spoke to her. She is an invaluable part of my mental health journey, and I feel extremely fortunate to have her as my counselor.
Jenny is great! She always has a way to make you think, and figure things out. She is supportive, and always on your side.
Jenny always responds with good questions and healthy tips to feeling better with less stress and anxiety.
Jenny is great. She really takes the time and listens to me. She does a good job at appropriate and therapeutic self-disclosure in a way that makes me feel that she really understands my feelings. She’s very empathetic and has had a wonderful and positive influence on my life.
Jenny is a professional and caring individual. She takes time to fully read my correspondences. She replies with well thought-out feedback and compassion. She offers insight and therapeutic value to her charges. I highly recommend Jenny to anyone going through a difficult life experience.
Highly recommend her for issues with stress, coping and intimacy. Non judgmental, good listener, builds you up, and gives great advice that works
Jenny has been EVERYTHING to our relationship!! Without her helping me see all points of view to consider, I woild be missing out on all the amazing things this man has to offer me still. Thank you for everything Jenny.
Jenny is by far the best counselor that I have ever experienced. She seems to be able to pick up on exactly that you mean, even if you're unable to express it clearly. She really does take the time to read everything and respond with great insight. She is both supportive and extremely helpful at the same time.
In just a few sessions Jenny has been exceptionally helpful in guiding me to find solutions to a host of big emotional obstacles related to hardships in my life as well as internal struggles. She is kind, reasonable and quite clearly dedicated to her work. She is effective at breaking things down so that they seem less intimidating and enigmatic. She is helping to reintroduce me to my sanguine, effective, and confident self.
I think Jenny is a skilled, professional therapist who has a great deal of compassion and empathy for her clients.
Jenny has been really great. I have been talking to her for the past few weeks and she has given me a lot of clarity and tools to be able to manage day today life. Jenny is like that really awesome friend who is always there for you, it sincerely feels like she cares about you and helping you.
Jenny is incredibly understanding and easy to talk to, she immediately figured out what the problem was even when I couldn't put it into words and helped me find ways to understand it too and methods of dealing with it.
Jenny has been awesome to work with! She understood my issues and is currently working with me on a game plan to resolve my issues! I would definitely recommend her!
I reached out to BetterHelp because I was having very sudden anxiety about a very specific situation. I was paired with Jenny, who really understood my situation and dove in to help with the immediate anxiety issues. She gave me an understanding about anxiety that I didn't have before (it wasn't something I'd experienced before) and some concrete tools to help get through the emotional crisis times. The situation causing the anxiety has since resolved, and I feel much better equipped to deal with this if it happens again in the future. Jenny has kept in touch to make sure everything is still ok and help with any remaining issues. She's great!
Jenny has been great in listening and creating concrete, detailed steps to help. Couldn't have asked for more
