ABOUT ME
Hello
My name is Jennifer
Jennifer Rowe, LCSW, CDP, CADDCT Licensed in Pennsylvania | New York
33 Years of Clinical Experience
I am a suburban New York native who now calls Pennsylvania home. I specialize in therapy, life strategizing, coaching, education, writing, and publishing. I am a big believer in personal growth, and I have the life experience to prove it.
​
I have 33 years of experience as a licensed clinical social worker in healthcare and mental health settings. In 2020, I opened Journey Life Balance as a part-time therapy practice serving teens, college students, adults, and caregivers. What started as a side practice became my life's work.
​
In the Fall of 2022, I found myself burned out, stressed, sleepless, and working 65 hours a week between two jobs while raising my child alone. Something had to change. I enrolled in an 8-week program called Clarity Catalyst -- a transformational course for individuals, teens, and organizations rooted in self-discovery. The course is based on a Stanford University master's degree program designed by Dr. Michael Ray. I was so moved by the changes I made that I became a Certified Clarity Catalyst Trainer.
​
In February of 2023, I resigned from my corporate healthcare position and committed fully to Journey Life Balance. I chose to do more of what I love -- helping people grow, find their footing, and live with purpose. That decision changed everything. I have not looked back.​
