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.
