Jen Jackson, Founder, MA, LLMSW
Jen has personal experience with the heartache of a child struggling with addiction. She says, “it was a painful realization when my adopted son, someone I’ve held in my arms and watched grow, started battling addiction. As a therapist, I had professional knowledge, but as a parent, I faced the emotional turmoil that addiction brings. We journeyed through various programs, sought community support, and engaged with the juvenile justice system. It was an exhausting battle, one too many parents are currently fighting.” In addition to general therapy, she started Serenity with a special focus on providing a resource and support to parents dealing with issues of substance use in their children.
​
Jen is a licensed social worker with a profound passion for guiding individuals and families toward hope and healing. With a specialized focus on adoption, foster care, parenting and family dynamics, as well as addiction, she brings a unique perspective to her therapeutic practice.
​
Jen warmly welcomes individuals aged 13 and above into her therapeutic space, offering a safe and nurturing environment where healing can take root.

Myrsha Clemons, LLMSW
Drawing from her personal experiences as a sibling and friend to someone who has confronted the challenges of addiction, she understands the profound impact it can have on individuals and their loved ones. The feeling of helplessness on the sidelines, wondering, "What else can I do to support you through your journey to recovery?" fuels her commitment to creating a safe space where you not only feel supported but are heard, seen, and valued.
​
Myrsha recognizes the uniqueness of every individual's story and takes great pleasure in working with clients from diverse social, cultural, and spiritual backgrounds and beliefs. By tapping into your experiences, her goal is to empower you to discover your identity and support you in your journey through healing, resilience, and personal growth.
​
Myrsha integrates various evidence-based therapeutic approaches through the lens of the whole-person perspective, including solution-focused therapy, motivational interviewing, behavioral therapy, and crisis interventions. With her versatile background, she has supported both teens, and adults in diverse environments, spanning community mental health, residential group homes, foster care, hospitals, schools, and non-profit organizations. Myrsha specializes in providing compassionate support for clients, experiencing grief and loss, addiction, anxiety, schizophrenia, family dynamics, life transitions, intellectual and developmental disabilities, and behavioral challenges.
​
Guided by insights gained from her journey as a social worker, her approach consistently evolves, molded by the invaluable lessons gleaned from her most influential educators – her clients.
When not working, Myrsha enjoys writing poetry, reading, singing, lingering by the water's edge, learning a new dance style, engaging in DIY endeavors, and volunteering at her local community center.
