Jennifer Welton

I am based in Sacramento, CA. I enjoy supporting children of all ages. I have experience working in schools (from ECE to High School). I specialize in helping children with anxiety, depression, and a variety of challenging behaviors to learn about and manage their emotional states. 💬 Why did you become a therapist for kids and families? In my years as an Educator, I was drawn to the phrase, "Maslow before Blooms." That children need to have their social and emotional needs met before they can learn and that is how I started my counseling journey. I found that validating a child's emotional state helped them to feel seen and heard so they could experience resilience and grow from life's obstacles...there will always be obstacles.
