My name is Jennifer Schmidt and thank you so much for finding my life & wellness coaching website to learn more about how I can help with establishing more life satisfaction, effectiveness within health goals, sense of well-being and improved relationship with self and others.

My professional background is in helping others as a Clinical Mental Health Counselor and Coach. I have a masters degree in clinical mental health counseling from a fully accredited university, over eleven years of experience in diagnosing and providing mental healthcare and am currently a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in the states of Ohio and Colorado. I also have been offering coaching services since 2022 as part of my practice.

In my years as a provider, I have treated clients clinically in both outpatient and inpatient for diagnoses such as anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, substance abuse and OCD. I love my work helping others and continue to provide therapy in my clinical counseling practice.

However, what I started to find in my clinical therapy practice is that clients would often come to me who didn’t meet clinical criteria for diagnosis with a mental health issue, but who still personally found a strong need for help with managing life issues, adjustments and struggles to find more effectiveness and feelings of wellness.

I also noticed that clients often struggled with physical health issues and were having difficulty in building motivation and effectiveness within meeting physical health goals prescribed by doctors. Additionally, my belief is that physical and mental health are highly correlated and that physical health problems often contribute to many life issues.

Thus I decided to provide a coaching alternative to therapy where I’m able to work with clients in all levels of change and personal growth - and within both mental & physical health changes.

Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions on how coaching works, how it differs from therapy, about my personal experience as a therapist/coach, how I am equipped to help… or any other areas you might want to ask about!
