Jennifer Hancock, Licensed Clinical Social Worker

My name is Jennifer Hancock, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) offering relationship therapy to LGBTQIA+ clients and their loved ones in Caldwell, Idaho. I earned my Master of Social Work from Northwest Nazarene University in 2020. My internship was with the Assertive Clinical Treatment (ACT) team in the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare in Caldwell, Idaho. That experience taught me to work alongside social workers and other mental health professionals to assess and maintain safety and comfort for adults with severe and persistent mental illnesses. I work with children, adolescents, and adults who need extra support when life gets a little rough. We are all human first. We make mistakes. We sometimes don’t treat one another or ourselves with respect and dignity. I am passionate about helping people build empowerment and love within themselves. I teach clients to treat themselves with grace when mistakes happen. I am trained in the Gottman Method Level I, providing Gottman Method couples therapy and couples counseling. I use holistic methods of therapy, including mindfulness, mapping the nervous system, and guided meditations, to assist with emotional regulation and trauma work. Alongside these methods, I enjoy sharing the therapeutic qualities of movement and nature through walk-and-talk therapy. When the weather permits and if you’re willing, I will take you on a small walk during the session. I also bring my English Setter, Annie, to work every day. Annie is well-trained and great at offering emotional support as my co-therapist. My goals are to help you unpack the past, develop your present self authentically, and give hope to your future self. You are priceless; there will never be another you in all the history of mankind and the universe. You are unique and worth the effort you place in your mental health treatment.
