Providers

Meet your provider: 

Jenna Johnson


I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counseling (LPCC) and the sole provider at Better Boundaries Counseling. I am so glad you're here. I have been a licensed counselor for the past 10 years and have had the privilege of working in many diverse settings throughout my career (psychiatric hospital, tribal college, juvenile corrections, and private practice). 

My favorite thing about the counseling process is meeting a new client for the first time as that is where the work begins. It provides an opportunity for us to get to know each other and ensure it is a mutually good fit. I aim to be authentic, honest, kind, and welcoming with my clients. Forming a strong relationship is my most important priority.  

Boundaries

I have a special interest in working with adults who are learning to value themselves and set healthy boundaries. When clients begin to practice healthy boundary setting, they often experience a level of confidence and strength that is entirely new. We can identify what is most important to you and make that be the priority in your life. 

Perinatal Mental Health 

After becoming a mother myself, I began to gain an interest in mental health associated with motherhood. Motherhood is a time marked by more change than one can imagine. I work with clients at any time during the perinatal stage (pre-pregnancy to 18 months postpartum) to navigate the many challenges that go along with motherhood, including perinatal mood disorders (PMADs). 

Trauma

Trauma affects people in different ways. It changes the way we view the world and ourselves. Especially with childhood trauma, people believe they should have "gotten over it by now." But, as we know now, it can impact the whole person throughout the lifespan. Trauma therapy can offer understanding, healing, and an opportunity to share your story.

Meet your provider: 

Carly Abaga

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) specializing in telehealth therapy for individuals 12 and older. I foster a warm, non-judgmental environment where personal growth and healing can thrive. I have worked with diverse populations and reasons for seeking counseling throughout my career, including my work with law enforcement, trauma, life changes/ transitions, and vocational rehabilitation.

Embarking on your counseling journey is an exciting and meaningful step in exploring your story and the unique experiences that have shaped your life. I approach counseling as a collaborative process working toward your goals while providing comprehensive services for individuals throughout the different stages of life. With a strong commitment to supporting my clients’ well-being, I strive to support your discovery of self and holistic well-being throughout your life journey. Throughout the counseling process, I tailor my approach through your feedback, goals, and our sessions to meet the unique needs of every individual.


Telehealth

Everyday life can be busy, complicated, and stressful. Accessing mental health resources shouldn’t be! Telehealth can provide a convenient and accessible way to access counseling resources.


Holistic Well-Being

Our experiences can impact our physical and mental health, affecting our relationships, beliefs, behaviors, confidence, and view of ourselves. Those experiences can impact the way we view the world and ourselves. Counseling can help offer understanding, healing, and an opportunity to share our story.


Self-discovery

Throughout life, we may reach points where we seem to question everything and reflect on different parts of our journey.  Although this may be a challenging time, it can also hold growth, reflection, direction, and the discovery of ourselves. We can work together to identify and explore what is important to you and the goals you want to work on.
