Jenn Ewald is a Delaware native who holds a Dual Bachelors Degree from the University of Delaware in Psychology & Women’s Studies and a Dual Masters Degree in Social Work & Human Sexuality Education from Widener University. She is a well-seasoned Licensed Clinical Social Worker who is both fully rooted in social work values while simultaneously challenging oppressive ideology, in any and all places that affect our lives, including the field of social work itself. She is fiercely passionate about constantly continuing her work towards being an anti-racist, inclusive practitioner and advocate for justice.

​

Jenn is the founder of Balanced Mind Counseling, established in 2015 in Middletown, Delaware and 2018 in Milford, Delaware. She is also the Co-Founder of The Healing Cottage, a holistic healing and community space where bodies of all shapes, sizes, colors, abilities, orientations + identities are valued and welcome. In 2021, she and Jen Sellitto-Penoza co-founded Postnatal Support Advocates. In the Fall of 2022, Jenn stepped away from direct client work to preside over daily operation of PSA, Balanced Mind Counseling and The Healing Cottage.

​

When Jenn provided therapy with clients, she utilized a holistic, collaborative and strengths-based approach to mental wellness. Her therapy practice has been deeply entrenched in the strength, justice, integrity, dignity and worth of the person. Because the mind and body are inextricably connected, she also integrated mindful therapy practices, such as yoga, reiki and somatic therapy techniques, into her sessions as a powerful healing tool. Jenn has always been aware that entering into a counseling/emotional wellness relationship can be an unfamiliar, uncomfortable and difficult decision. This is why she has been dedicated to creating a safe, supportive & trustworthy environment for clients to explore, heal and grow. This continues to be evidenced by all spaces she has created for clients to seek healing services.

​

During her years in practice, Jenn specialized in working with pregnant and postnatal clients, couples, members of the LGBTQIA+ community, birth trauma survivors, and clients interested in holistic healing practices. She is an ardent advocate for gestational parents' birthing rights and postnatal care. As such, she has dedicated much of her time and energy on becoming well informed and trained as a Birth Monopoly Know Your Rights Constituent, bebo mia Maternal Support Practitioner and a DONA International Birth & Postpartum Doula as a means to fully support clients during their pregnancy, 4th trimester and beyond.

​​

In the latest chapter in her career, Jenn is now supporting parents of children with a PDA neurodivergent profile. With her completion of PDA North America's Level I and Level II Training coupled with her personal experience as a parent of two PDA-ers, Jenn offers invaluable knowledge and perspective. She recognizes the profound loneliness and isolation that many parents of neurodivergent children experience, often feeling misunderstood in their journey. With heartfelt commitment, Jenn aims to shift this narrative, fostering a safe space where parents can feel validated and find solace in knowing they are not alone.

 

​Jenn currently accepts new clients on a case by case basis. She is available for consultation for parents of neurodivergent children and supervision for social workers working toward their LMSW and LCSW. She considers it an honor and privilege to be on this healing and wellness journey with her clients.
