Your Story, Your Words, Your Healing
Individual Therapy
I know how tough it is when the “have-to’s” never get done because the “want-to’s” take over. You’re not lazy-you’re human. Together we will find balance so there’s room for both responsibility and joy.
Couples Therapy
Every couple has challenges-learning how to talk through them makes all the difference. Couples therapy is about slowing down, hearing each other out, and rebuilding real connection.
Life Balance Psychotherapy Founder and Therapist
Jenny DeSantis LCSW, LICSW, CASAC
I believe therapy begins with trust. For it to truly work, you need to feel a genuine connection with your therapist—a sense that you’re safe, understood, and supported. You deserve someone who feels real and down-to-earth, who “gets” you, and who creates a space where nothing is off-limits. This is your place to be fully yourself, share your truths, and know they will be held with care and respect.
I bring over 20 years of experience as a social worker and therapist, and I’ve had the privilege of working in many settings—inpatient psychiatric units, nursing homes, substance use clinics, and private practice. I’ve worked with people from all walks of life, and one thing I know for sure is this: everyone deserves a space where they feel safe and free of judgment. Everyone is welcomed here.
When you come to therapy with me, you can show up exactly as you are. You’ll have my full attention and the benefit of my years of experience to guide you. I use a wide range of approaches and will customize our work so it feels right for you and your journey. Together, we’ll figure out what works best and create a path forward that feels supportive, empowering, and real.
Individual Therapy
Do you struggle with negative core beliefs—feeling not good enough, smart enough, or worthy enough? Are you always putting others first, leaving little space for yourself? You don’t have to carry this alone.
My goal is to help you reconnect with your authentic self, build confidence, and feel empowered to take control of your life, your choices, and your path forward.
At Life Balance Psychotherapy, you can show up exactly as you are—no judgment, no pressure. Together, we’ll explore what’s been weighing on you, make sense of your past and present, and work toward a more fulfilling future.
Couples Therapy
Do you feel unheard or disconnected from your partner? Has the busyness of life made it harder to nurture your bond? Together, we can rebuild trust, improve communication, and restore the sense of connection that brought you together in the first place. My approach is supportive, collaborative, and focused on helping both partners feel seen, understood, and valued.
I believe the foundation of a strong relationship is built on trust and communication. In our work together, using the framework of he Gottman method, I help couples look beyond the surface arguments and differences to uncover the deeper issues at the core of their struggles.
Recovery Support
I believe no one should face stigma for seeking help. You are here for healing, not judgment. My role is to walk alongside you, offering guidance and tools to help you move through recovery at your own pace. Together, we’ll identify your strengths, set meaningful goals, and create a path forward that feels both achievable and empowering.
Recovery is not a straight line, but with the right support, it is possible. Let’s take the journey together. I provide substance use counseling and recovery support designed to foster healing, growth, and a more fulfilling life. With over 12 years of experience working with individuals and families affected by alcohol and substance use, I’ve learned the importance of meeting clients exactly where they are—with respect, compassion, and support.
