The On-Air Advocate


Apr 30, 2021

As we turn our focus to National Stress Awareness Month, I am so excited to welcome, Jennifer Van Rossum, Psychotherapist and Mental Wellness Educator & Consultant.
 
I am a Licensed Psychotherapist (LPC) and Mental Wellness Educator & Consultant in private practice with a specialty in treating anxiety and building resilience. I have studied the human mind and behavior for over 2 decades, and I genuinely love what I do! I have special interest in the psychology, sociology and neuroscience of well-being and have advanced post-Masters training in Interpersonal Neurobiology through the MindSight Institute with Dr. Dan Siegel. I hold a certificate in Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy, include the use of Expressive Therapies into my practice and am skilled in Resilience Training. Outside of the therapy office, I am a Resilience and Well-being Consultant, offering my expertise to individuals and groups. I have experience as a Mental Strength Trainer for athletes and performers, teach Mindfulness-Based programs in Elementary schools, provide trainings in Social Emotional Learning (SEL) to educators, and facilitate wellness programs for organizations and corporations. I am passionate about body-brain integration and offer movement, mindfulness and meditation classes within the community. As a Colombian-born (Wisconsin-raised) adoptee, cultural compassion and diversity is also very important to me. I approach health from a functional wellness perspective in which clients are invited to explore their experiences with effort and intention in order to live a skillful, wholehearted life. In 2019 I founded 5Peaks, LLC - a wellness and lifestyle corporation whose mission is to promote human flourishing by teaching and supporting individuals, communities and organizations in science-backed strategies to help strengthen and cultivate resilience and well-being. On my favorite days, I can be found relaxing with my family, traveling near and far, practicing yoga, hiking, and chasing sunsets...oh I'm also a mom to 3 (usually) delightful boys and married to a pretty rad husband.
