As you consider options for support and guidance for you or a family member, I would like to introduce myself. I am Jennifer Kent-Bryant, LMSW, and have been working directly with children and families for my entire social work career. I received my MSW from the University of Michigan–Ann Arbor in 1986. My clinical experience has taken me to various agencies throughout Michigan, and I have worked extensively with diverse populations and communities in the state.. I have assisted many families and children through difficult struggles with depression, anxiety, ADHD, troubled relationships, school success, anger management, substance abuse, grief and PTSD. I am versed in Trauma Informed care, restorative practices, crisis prevention training and mental health first aid. I take a client-centered approach and often use CBT or mindful strategies. I hope to set goals that are achievable and will promote a sense of accomplishment at the conclusion of our therapeutic work together.   

I look forward to the opportunity to get to know you and your family and will respectfully promote opportunities to learn, engage and focus on wellness and new pathways.
