Take the Reins was founded in 2022 by Jenette Mundlin, MS, Associate Counselor, CRC.
Meet Jenette, your thriving-savvy counselor!
Hi there, and welcome!
I studied Clinical Mental Health and Rehabilitation Counseling at Portland State University, graduating with a Master's Degree in Counseling in 2022.
I'm passionate about helping folks navigate the challenges of living with disabilities like chronic pain, fatigue, and even the complex wounds of religious trauma.
Think of me as your partner in rediscovering your strength and resilience. We'll work together to untangle the knots that hold you back and rewrite your story with courage and hope.
My toolbox is brimming with awesome techniques to help you thrive:
- Movement Therapy: Let's tap into the wisdom of your body! We'll explore gentle practices like Qigong to release stored tension and trauma, leaving you feeling more grounded and connected to yourself.
- Narrative Therapy: Let's rewrite your story! We'll explore how you talk about your experiences and the world around you, and maybe even give those pesky inner critics a gentle "time out." Because your story is YOURS to tell, and it deserves to be one of strength and resilience.
- Strength-Based Approach: Time to spotlight your inner wisdom! We'll celebrate your unique strengths and resilience, unearth hidden talents, building a toolkit to conquer every obstacle that comes your way.
Beyond the Technical Jargon
Sure, I have fancy therapy credentials, but at the heart of it all, I'm a genuine soul who believes in the power of human connection and listening to both your mind and your body. I love a good laugh, exploring nature, and geeking out over a fascinating documentary.
Weaving Wisdom: A Counselor's Tapestry of Curiosity and Care
Ever gaze at the stars and feel your worries shrink to pinpricks against the cosmic canvas? That's the kind of perspective I bring to my counseling practice. My journey, much like yours, is a blend of exploration and growth, built on a foundation of curiosity and compassion.
Like you, I'm fascinated by the stories we carry. My own Oregon roots run deep, and delving into family histories reminds me that we're all chapters in a longer narrative. Exploring the world, whether through podcasts, documentaries, or a stroll along the Oregon coast, fuels my passion for understanding the human experience in all its shades.
Animals hold a special place in my heart. Their innate wisdom whispers lessons about presence and acceptance, lessons I strive to incorporate into my work. And when life gets overwhelming, you'll find me seeking solace in the cozy glow of Hygge—a reminder that simple joys and quiet connections hold hidden strengths.
Ultimately, I believe therapy is a shared journey, a weaving of your story with your past, present and future, and where vulnerabilities become stepping stones and challenges spark possibilities. If you're ready to zoom out, delve deeper, and embrace the wisdom within, come walk with me. Let's weave a tapestry of resilience, understanding, and hope, together.
Ready to embark on this healing adventure together? Drop me a line, and let's chat about how I can support you on your journey to rediscover your inner strength and write a vibrant new chapter in your story.
Remember, you're not alone in this. I'm here to walk beside you every step of the way.
Warmly,
Jenette
