Jennifer Martin Rieck, Owner & Therapist

Jennifer Martin Rieck is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, the owner of Epijennetics Counseling & Consulting in Libertyville, Illinois, and the co-founder of Lake County Care Collective. Jenn has over 20 years of experience in the healthcare industry and began her career in Clinical Laboratory Science and Microbiology. Jenn has worked in a variety of healthcare settings including large hospitals, independent laboratories, non-profit community Mental Health, group practices, and the Veteran’s Health Administration. In addition to her expansive work experience, Jenn also has personal experience with divorce and remarriage, having a blended family, and being a step-mother, adoptive mother, and biological mother. Because of this first-hand experience Jenn understands the complicated nature of relationships and the obstacles and challenges that sometimes make relational and emotional health a struggle.

With the philosophy that personal growth is most likely to occur in those who can sustain a posture of humility, introspection, and curiosity, Jenn hopes to inspire others towards this posture. Using inspiration from her own life experiences, and pulling information from her education in Mental Health, she hopes to inspire and educate others in a way that empowers them to experience grace, growth, and connection, whether that be through Epijennetics, the website, or through working together in counseling.

Jennifer’s knowledge and background are a treasure trove of information that have served to bring me closer to my goals.

I have been seeing Jennifer Rieck as my therapist, both in solo sessions, and with my wife, for several months.
With her help I have made great progress identifying the root causes of some negative behaviors.
That has been the saving of my marriage & put me on a path to better mental health & happiness.
I wholeheartedly recommend her as a therapist.

Jennifer is a great addition to my weekly chaos. She genuinely listens through all my ADHD rambles and lets me get back to the original thought without calling attention to the fact that I strayed so far. She offers great insight and realistic, solutions, while suddenly empowering you to motivate yourself to take the steps and actions you need to take in order to complete whatever goal you are working toward. I’m still a newbie with Jennifer, but she has already helped in so many ways.

Jennifer is a very caring and compassionate clinician. She makes sure that her clients are getting the best care possible regardless of what level of care is needed. I recommend Jennifer for your clinical care needs.

Jenn received her Master’s in Mental Health Counseling from Trinity International University. Her therapeutic approach includes evidenced-based techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Schema Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Internal Family Systems. These theories combine to result in a holistic look at the origin and impact of early childhood experiences on current day symptoms. Additionally, Jenn has experience treating a variety of mental health issues such as depression and anxiety, personality disorders, Bipolar Disorder, grief, trauma, substance abuse, infidelity, sexual abuse, and ADHD, and received advanced training in grief and trauma therapy. She specializes in helping individuals recover from Self-Sacrificing and Narcissistic relationship styles and recover from narcissistic abuse. She is passionate about providing therapy that goes beyond treating mental health symptoms to fostering increased relationship and life satisfaction in her clients.
