Counseling Center – Bridging XVII Counseling Center, LLC
Bridging XVII Counseling Center, LLC is a counseling practice led by Dr. Terri V. Jenkins, Ed.D, LPC, NCC, ACS. The practice provides three primary service formats: individual counseling, couples and family counseling, and group counseling. Individual sessions are delivered as one-on-one services in a safe, caring, and confidential environment. Couples and family counseling is available for engaged, dating, married, and partnered individuals as well as family members across varying household configurations. Group counseling sessions typically involve eight to ten participants and address concerns including depression, anxiety, anger management, grief and bereavement, domestic violence, substance use, and parenting skills, offering a peer-supported format for clients working through shared presenting concerns.
Dr. Jenkins employs an eclectic therapeutic orientation described as action-oriented. The primary modalities in use include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which targets dysfunctional emotions, behaviors, and thought patterns; Solution Focused Brief Therapy, which concentrates on client-identified goals and present-tense solutions rather than the problem history itself; and Existential Therapy, which emphasizes the choices available to the client in the present and future. Clients may receive between-session homework including journal writing, reading specific resources, or self-expression activities intended to reinforce therapeutic progress between appointments.
The practice philosophy positions meaningful outcomes as dependent on cooperation, openness, and honesty between clinician and client throughout the course of treatment. The website notes that prospective clients can call to schedule an appointment to begin services.
Specific office location, session format options (in-person or telehealth), insurance acceptance, self-pay rates, and year of establishment are not listed on the practice website. Services are provided to individuals, couples, families, and group participants under Dr. Jenkins’s credentials as a Licensed Professional Counselor, National Certified Counselor, and Approved Clinical Supervisor.
The ACS designation indicates that Dr. Jenkins also holds a clinical supervisory credential, which may be relevant to graduate students or associate-level counselors seeking supervision. The group counseling offerings, which span a range of presenting concerns from domestic violence to parenting skills, reflect the practice’s capacity to serve clients in both individual and peer-group formats across a broad clinical scope.
