Jennifer Hinson

My name is Jennifer Hinson, and I live in the Lake Tillery area of NC.  I am currently practicing as an LCSW for the state of North Carolina, after securing my MSW at Boise State.  I began my journey as a social worker for the elderly and disabled, and expanded my scope of practice after learning about the huge gap in mental health services.  I practice a person centered approach, and pride myself on building strong rapport and a team work atmosphere within my client sessions.  I enjoy implementing a well rounded approach, utilizing your own strengths and helpful practices to build a successful treatment plan for you.

Throughout my journey as a mental health provider, I have frequently worked with underprivileged youth who lack access to proper testing and diagnostic evaluation for neurodivergent needs.  I found that years of of being misunderstood and misdiagnosed, can have a devastating impact on clients' self esteem and perceived ability to achieve life goals.  I believe that feeling validated through a strength based approach, can help clients reframe their previous life experiences as resiliency to survive even their hardest challenges.

I work closely with clients to assist them in living up to their own core values and affirming their life goals.  I believe each client deserves the right to express themselves in a safe and authentic manor, while receiving care that helps them use their own strengths for self realization.
