About Me

My name is Jen Voneida and I am a pre-licensed therapist based in Colorado Springs, CO. I completed my Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology from Florida State University and earned a Master of Social Work degree with a concentration in Mental Health and Trauma from the University of Denver in Denver, Colorado. While at DU, I also completed a specialized human-animal-environment interactions (HAEI) in social work program.

l work with adolescent and adult clients using the principles of Internal Family Systems and am experienced in following areas: depression, anxiety, anger management, family conflict, relationship issues, domestic abuse, stress, self-esteem, and trauma.

My Approach

Internal Family Systems (IFS) is an evidenced based model of healing and the primary modality that I use in my practice. IFS is premised on the idea that we all have sub-personalities, or parts, and that life events or trauma can cause parts to take on extreme roles or beliefs. I help individuals navigate their own unique inner landscapes, heal parts that carry emotional wounds, and discover their innate inner wisdom and healing capacity. I also incorporate aspects of other modalities such as Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), or Solution-focused brief therapy (SFBT), depending on client needs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is IFS right for me?

IFS can be helpful for a wide range of symptoms and experiences. Do you feel anxious, depressed, or overwhelmed? Maybe you experienced trauma that left you with negative symptoms that affect your ability to effectively cope with daily life. You might be a fellow therapist who is curious about the IFS process, or who wants to understand your own system more deeply so you can better help your clients. These are just a few examples of the many reasons an individual might engage in IFS therapy.

IFS provides a non-pathologizing holistic framework that unlocks our innate ability to heal and transform ourselves. More than just a model of psychotherapy, it is a profound paradigm shift that is well suited for those who want to gain a deeper understanding of themselves, address negative symptoms, or heal from past trauma.

Do you offer sessions online or in person?

I offer in person sessions for those in the Colorado Springs area as well as telehealth sessions for Colorado residents located throughout the state. Telehealth is a video session that takes place via a secure platform. All you need is a strong internet connection, a private space where you won't be disturbed, and a phone, tablet or computer to access your session.

Do you take insurance?

No, I do not currently accept any insurances.
