Jodie Semel, LPC, NCC 203.984.2162
Licensed Professional Counselor serving Fairfield County, Connecticut
Welcome.
Discover Your Capacity to Understand Your Emotions, Thoughts, and Relationships with Greater Clarity
Therapy is a process of growth and self-discovery. Sessions are a collaborative process where
I help adults and parents struggling with relationships, trauma, and intense emotions process their issues and well-being in areas that matter most.
My approach takes into consideration how the brain and body are wired to generate healing. I help people work through the patterning from thoughts and memories that impede healing.
I specialize in DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy), IFS (Internal Family Systems), EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing), as well as other mindfulness and somatic-based approaches.
TESTIMONIALS
In thirty years of supervising and teaching counselors, I have not seen anyone understand case conceptualization and the counseling process like Jodie. She is a natural at what she does. Her clients are very fortunate to have her.
Previous Supervisor
Thankfully, you were nothing like any of my previous therapists. You were the first therapist who wasn't deterred by the intensity of my issues. You truly helped make sense of my trauma and bring control to my life. Because of what I learned from you, I don't let my past stop me and I experienced for the first time pride in myself. All of that hard work we did in our sessions has paid off in me creating a great life. You knew I was resilient, and had faith in me that I would realize that, too.
Current Client
Your warmth and genuine interest in my issues made me feel very comfortable with you, very fast. It was a relief to see how expedient my processing of my issues could be with your wonderful guidance. The skills you have taught me have been life-changers - not just for me, but for all of my relationships. You're a treasure!"
