Michael Jenkins

Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships

About

I am licensed in Tennessee and Virginia with 25 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, & coping with grief and loss. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.

I provide EMDR, (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). It is a research-based trauma therapy which is appropriate in many other situations besides specific traumas. I am happy to talk to clients who might have an interest in EMDR to help with major traumatic events or developmental trauma from childhood.

I am available on Tuesday through Thursday afternoons, from 12:30 to 3:30 pm Eastern time.

Is Online Therapy the Right Fit for Your Needs?

Many people wonder whether online therapy can produce meaningful results. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and navigating life changes, online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as traditional in-person sessions. A major benefit of remote care is flexibility. Individuals can connect with therapists in the mode that works best for them – video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging – which can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule. All participating practitioners are licensed professionals, and clients have the option to switch therapists if they feel a different fit would be better.
