About the Owner...
Welcome again to Kintsugi Counseling & Consulting! My name is Jennifer Nelson, and I am a proud native of Birmingham, AL. I hold a B.A. degree in Social Work and a Master's Degree in Clinical Social Work from the University of Montevallo and the University of Georgia, respectively. With almost 15 years of experience as a social worker and therapist, I have worked with various at-risk populations, groups, couples, individuals, adults, and teens. I am the CEO and founder of Kintsugi & Consulting, LLC, and hold the license of LICSW-S in the state of Alabama. I am also a member of Delta Theta Sorority, Inc. and Gamma Phi Delta Sorority, Inc. I enjoy singing, dancing, reading, writing poetry, laughing, spending time with my husband, James, and my fur-baby, Sammy.
My Why...
My story consists of tests, trials, mountains, valleys, triumphs, losses, brokenness, healing, gratitude, faith, overcoming, mistakes, bad/unwise decisions, fear, grief, forgiveness, relationship successes and fails, just LIFE, you know… I believe that my purpose in life is to be an encourager, helper, promoter of holistic wellness, self-care enthusiast, a believer in boundaries, and an educator. It is my endeavor to apply my learned and lived experiences to aid others in their journey towards healing and various forms of personal and professional development. Lastly, as a therapist with my own therapist, I authentically understand and appreciate the benefits of help, support, and navigating life's terrain and being more responsible for my overall wellbeing. So, let’s be well! Let’s heal!
