All About You Counseling Staff

Hello! I am Ainsley Jeanine, I have my Bachelors in Criminal Justice and my Masters in Social Work. I have had the opportunity to work with many different populations ranging from the reintegration of the incarcerated, veterans, domestic violence victims , and substance users. Working in the social work field has provided many individuals to speak up about their struggles and feel safe. In our society, mental health is stigmatized and I wanted to be able to educate and provide a safe space to individuals - that living with mental health concerns is not looked as being lesser than others. I want to teach people that they are just as much of a person and are resilient for continuing to try every day.
