I help individuals become the best versions of themselves and couples grow closer to God and each other.
Toss “this is as good as it gets” out the window– it doesn’t exist here.
I teach individuals and couples like you how to build strong, faith-filled foundations and connections so you can experience the more in store God has for your future.
And it's all Bible-based and research-backed.
The mission behind Christian Millennial THERAPIST is simple.
Licensed Mental Health Counselor & Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist
Licensed Mental Health Counselor & Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist
God is in the business of changing lives and restoring relationships. Yes, it's important to go to church, read your Bible, and pray - but God also gifts some people certain abilities to help us do the things we can't do on our own.
Just like you would hire a professional to fix your car, it's okay if you need some professional help to repair your relationship, too.
As a therapist, I have seen how healing past hurts and giving people the right tools can change lives.
And as a Christian wife, I have seen personally how doing things God's Way changes marriages.
My Philosophy
I've been a Licensed Mental Health Counselor & Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist for over 10 years, helping people improve their mental health and relationships. Many Christians are told they shouldn't need professional help if they truly have God and that is just not true. So I became determined to use my education and experience to create a safe space for Christians to heal, grow, and fix the things they think will never change - without even leaving their home. I started offering private online sessions that combine Christianity and psychology to help my clients make themselves and their relationships the best they can be. I brought this unique concept to Instagram and the result was over 125,000 followers in less than a year (in other words, you are not alone).

Meet Jenna Shaffer LMHC, LMFT
Licensed Marriage Counselor & Mental Health Therapist
- Master’s Degree, Rehabilitation and Mental Health Counseling, University of South Florida
- Graduate Certificate in Marriage and Family Therapy
- Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, #MT2936
- Licensed Mental Health Counselor, #MH12899
- Certified Symbis Premarital Facilitator
I know a thing or two about life & marriage, but don’t just take my word for it. Here are my credentials to back it:
Relatability
My ideal Friday night is ordering pizza and cuddling on the couch with my husband and fur-babies. Clients say I am down-to-earth, easy to talk to, and relatable. This is YOUR space and I want you to feel comfortable (and don't worry, I am probably wearing sweatpants and no make-up to our virtual session, too).
Research-Backed and Faith-Based Tools
I bring together the best of two worlds: education and experience + Christianity. As a Christian who is also a Licensed Mental Health Counselor & Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist, I've got a unique edge in my work. You will leave our time together with tools, strategies and (just a little bit of) homework.
Commitment
I’m committed to unpacking your bags from the past with you so you can get unstuck. I want you to experience powerful mindset shifts rooted in the truth of who God says you are. I will help you make changes that last. I will walk alongside you as you do the hard work until you reach your goals. And I will pray for you and with you the whole way!

"It is a one stop shop for ALL the things! It covers all the topics and backs it up with Scripture while giving you practical ways to implement what you're learning!”
- Individual Private Session Client
“Jenna was an answered prayer.”
I have questioned needing a therapist for years and after a lot of changes happened in my life I decided it’s time to change my stubborn mind and allow myself to get the help I needed and wanted. I am so grateful to have found Jenna and for all the amazing time and work she has put towards helping me heal not only the pain of my past but even pain I didn’t know of now that needed to be brought to light and healed. She truly cares and is a much needed positive soul in this world.
Q
Like most specialty providers, I do not participate in any insurance plans. Paying out-of-pocket is a great option for people who want maximum privacy, confidentiality, and flexibility.
In some cases, you may be eligible to use out-of-network benefits. You will be responsible for paying each session in full at the time of your appointment.
I work with Mentaya, a platform that helps clients get money back on out-of-network therapy sessions. If you have out-of-network benefits, Mentaya will file claims and handle the insurance paperwork to make sure you get reimbursed. This service will be provided at no cost to you.
You can use this out of network reimbursement calculator to get an individualized estimate of what your costs will be if using out-of-network benefits.
Note: Mentaya's goal is to save you time and money. It's completely optional, and as your therapist, I do not benefit in any way from your participation.
Do you take insurance?
Q
“That feeling when you find a therapist you actually want to work with and she only work with millennials.” I hear you … you want help with your main character energy, too. It’s all good, I see adults 18+. Still not you? Don’t worry, I am not ghosting you. Send me a message to see if we can work together or to get names of other therapists who pass the vibe check.
I am Gen Z (or another generation), can you still be my therapist?
Q
While my counseling & therapy services are only available in Florida, my Christian-based life coaching and relationship coaching services are available worldwide! Both coaching and therapy are designed to help you overcome challenges, identify and achieve goals, and create long-lasting, positive changes. The main difference between coaching and therapy is that coaching does NOT diagnose or treat mental illness. If you do NOT live in Florida, you can learn more about coaching services here.
What’s the difference therapy and coaching?
