About Me

Meet Jennifer Kepke

I’m Jennifer Kepke, the founder of Key Counseling and Treatment Services. My path to becoming a therapist is deeply personal, shaped by my own journey through trauma and healing.

My Story

Born in Germany to a military family instilled in me a profound appreciation for diverse cultures and an appreciation for different cultures and helped to shape my empathetic, inclusive therapy approach. Personal experiences with trauma and the resilience fostered as a single mother profoundly influenced my understanding of the human spirit. My 27 years in secondary education, witnessing societal issues like racism and segregation, have further honed my counseling methods, emphasizing the importance of addressing and acknowledging systemic challenges in my practice. This background has been instrumental in shaping my approach to counseling, where I strive to create a space that recognizes and addresses these systemic challenges.

My Approach & Philosophy

My approach is holistic and integrative, based on the belief that healing involves the mind, body, and spirit. I blend a range of therapeutic techniques, incorporating therapeutic techniques including EMDR, IFS, trauma-informed psychotherapy, Coherence Therapy, Schema therapy CBT, and DBT, to create personalized treatment plans that meet each client’s unique needs. Rooted in empathy and cultural sensitivity, my philosophy is to foster a nurturing, non-judgmental environment where clients feel heard, understood, and supported throughout their healing journey.
