Helping you heal from trauma while growing a healthier, more confident sense of self.
Hello. I’m here to help you breathe again.
This is where I come in. I am Jenni Jablonski, a licensed professional counselor with advanced training in clinical mental health, EMDR, and play and filial therapy. I work with children, teens, parents, and families who want something to shift. My goal is simple: to help young people feel understood, supported, and capable, and to help parents feel less alone in the process.
Why I Approach Therapy This Way
I work this way because I believe everyone comes in carrying a story that deserves care. Some stories feel tangled. Some stay quiet because they have never felt safe enough to be shared. Others show up in big emotions that feel too heavy to hold alone. I have learned that healing begins when someone feels safe enough to be themselves.
My first goal is to create that kind of space. A space where you or your child can slow down, breathe, and feel understood. When we feel safe, we can look at what hurts, what helps, and what needs to grow. We can practice new skills, build confidence, and reconnect with strengths that may have been buried under stress or fear. Those strengths are already there. I simply help bring them forward.
I also know that each person needs something different. Teens often need a place to sort through pressure, identity, and relationships. Younger children speak through play, so I meet them in that language. Parents need a partner who listens, guides, and helps them understand what their child is working through, as well as what they themselves may be carrying.
I believe change grows out of connection. When we feel safe with someone, we begin to trust the process. We begin to try new things. We begin to see ourselves differently. This is why relationship is at the center of my work. When the relationship feels steady and supportive, real change can begin.
What You Can Expect
When we begin working together, my focus is on creating a space where you or your child feels safe, understood, and supported. Everyone communicates differently, so the work we do is shaped around what fits best.
Here is what our process usually looks like:
• A first meeting where we talk about what brought you here and what you hope will change. This helps me understand your story and what matters most right now.
• A personalized plan based on strengths and needs. For younger children, this often includes Child‑Centered Play Therapy, where play becomes their language. For children and teens carrying something heavy from the past, we may use EMDR to help the brain process those experiences in a calmer, healthier way. For kids who feel stuck or unsure of what is going well, Solution‑Focused Play Therapy helps us notice strengths and build on the moments that already work.
• Regular parent check‑ins every 4 to 6 weeks. We talk through progress, new concerns, and how things are feeling at home. Your insight matters.
• Additional meetings or calls whenever something new comes up. You never have to wait if something important happens.
• A space where your child can express themselves freely and learn healthier ways to cope. Some days this looks like talking. Some days it looks like play. Some days it looks like EMDR helping the brain move through something that feels stuck. All of it is part of the work.
Sessions can feel different from week to week. Some feel light and hopeful. Others bring up big emotions. Both are normal, and both are part of growing. I stay with your child through all of it.Here are some of the tools we use to help you feel better
What EMDR is (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)
EMDR is a way of helping your brain feel calmer about things that were scary, stressful, or confusing. Sometimes our brains hold on to hard moments a little too tightly, and they can still bother us even long after they happened. EMDR helps those memories feel less “big” and less overwhelming.
We do this using simple, gentle things like eye movements or tapping. These help both sides of the brain work together so the memory can settle in a healthier place. You do not have to talk about everything in detail. You just need to show up, and we go at your pace.
The goal is not to erase anything. The goal is to help your brain understand that the hard moment is over and that you are safe now.
What CCPT Is (Child‑Centered Play Therapy)
Child‑Centered Play Therapy is all about using play to help kids share their feelings. Play is a child’s natural language, and sometimes toys can say things that words cannot.
In CCPT, I follow the child’s lead. They choose how to play, and I pay close attention to what they are showing me. This helps them express feelings, make choices, and learn about themselves in a way that feels safe and natural.
My job is to create a warm, accepting space where they feel understood. When kids feel safe, they start to trust themselves, explore emotions, and build confidence.
What SFPT Is (Solution‑Focused Play Therapy)
EMDR is a way of helping your brain feel calmer about things that were scary, stressful, or confusing. Sometimes our brains hold on to hard moments a little too tightly, and they can still bother us even long after they happened. EMDR helps those memories feel less “big” and less overwhelming.

What SFPT Is (Solution‑Focused Play Therapy)
Solution‑Focused Play Therapy helps kids notice what is already going well. Instead of spending all our time on problems, we look for strengths, successes, and small moments that felt good or helpful.
In SFPT, we talk about times when things went right, even if it was just for a moment. We build on those moments so kids can feel more capable and hopeful. This approach reminds them that they already have tools inside them that can help them move forward.
