Jen Leftwich, LCSW, Professional Christian Counselor

My path to working as a mental health clinician is a long one, shaped by my values from family roots in service. I have 10 years of combined experience in crisis intervention and emergency services, formal peer support, volunteerism, and professional clinical mental health practice through the continuum of care from the field and 911 PSAP to the hospital and therapy office for both civilians and uniformed professionals. I’m proudly married to a career Firefighter/Paramedic, am a proud prior 911 Emergency Communications Officer and creator/coordinator of my agency’s CISM/Peer Support program where I prioritized proactive approaches, and come from a family of first responders/emergency services professionals, healthcare professionals, and military veterans spanning all disciplines. Because of this I tend towards a “put the wet stuff on the red stuff” approach to helping and have dedicated my focus to, and greatly enjoy working with, responders and public safety professionals, and their immediate family members.
