Jenna Paulsen, Master’s Student Intern

About Jenna as a Counselor

Jenna is a Masters Student Intern. She is able to provide in person counseling in Camas, WA or online counseling for Washington and Oregon residents.

After volunteering with youth for many years, Jenna sees the need for supportive non-parent mentors and adults in their lives. Supporting and helping parents, teenagers, and families alike understand their personal hardships and how to successfully overcome them fuels Jenna’s passion to counsel. Along the same lines, young adults struggle with transitional periods and seek out guidance on the wisest choices for them. Jenna’s goal is to help both the adolescent as well as the young adult population pinpoint areas where they want to grow and to walk alongside them as they strive to meet those aspirations.

Jenna’s passion for youth counseling stems from years of volunteering with students 13-18 years old. Jenna wants to apply the knowledge gained from studying Psychology and Sociology. Understanding the developmental, physical, cognitive, and emotional changes that both youth and young adults struggle with can assist parents, coaches, and mentors to discover ways to come along side these age groups in time of need.

Training and Background

Jenna is completing her Master of Arts in Counseling from Western Seminary with an anticipated graduation date of April 2024. Jenna also holds a Bachelor of Arts degree from Washington State University in Psychology. Jenna uses a combination of solution-focused therapy, as well as cognitive behavioral therapy as two approaches to counseling. Relevant coursework that Jenna has taken thus far, includes suicide prevention and crisis intervention, multicultural counseling, psychopathology, human lifespan development, legal and ethical issues related to counseling, counseling adolescents, and advanced theory.
