Meet Your Therapist:

I’m Jeni Booker Senter, a licensed psychotherapist with a diverse background bringing a unique blend of experience and education to the mental health field. I hold a Master of Arts in English/Creative Writing from UWF, a Master of Science in Counseling from Fort Hays State University, and I am currently completing the dissertation for my PhD in Psychology with a research focus in trauma and resiliency development.

As a lifelong resident of Santa Rosa County, I’m deeply rooted in this community where I live with my husband, a US Air Force veteran. We have raised four children and have nine grandchildren who all live, work, and attend school in this community. In my career journey. I have served as a school teacher, professor, and school counselor. I transitioned into practicing clinical mental health to address the shortage of local mental health providers for children, adolescents, and adult trauma survivors. My passion is to offer compassionate, effective therapy to help individuals navigate their challenges and find resilience.

My Philosophy and Theoretical Orientation:

I am deeply passionate about the power of nature, creative expression, and storytelling in compassionate healing.  My approach to therapy is a unique fusion of creativity and clinical expertise informed by Jungian and Rogerian Psychology. I recognized my calling to help others while on my own path of healing from childhood trauma, and my approach is not just about solving problems; it's about self-discovery, growth, and healing.


I am a Certified Dialectical Behavior Therapy (C-DBT) Professional, Certified Clinical Trauma Professional II (CCTP-II), and an Advanced Grief Counseling Specialist (CAGCS), and my approach is person-centered and holistic. I incorporate creative expression, mindfulness-based practices, and the principles of polyvagal theory into my practice. I am trained in the following modalities that can be used to facilitate sessions in which children and adults of all ages are empowered to heal and grow: EMDR, CBT, Sylvotherapy/Forest Therapy, HeartMath, DBT, Somatic Therapy for Complex Trauma, ACT, Hypnotherapy, Play Therapy, and Sand Tray Therapy--among various other techniques. I'm committed to helping my clients find their own path to well-being by discovering and harnessing their own transformative power. 

 
I believe each person already possesses the inner strength and resilience needed to overcome challenges, create meaningful transformations, and live a life aligned with their values and aspirations. By embracing your own unique journey and the power you already hold within, you can step into a future filled with personal growth, fulfillment, and the realization of your true potential. I take to heart the following words of Carl Jung: “The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are.” I would be honored to partner with you in your journey to healing, joy, and wholeness.
