J.R. Jenkins, MA, PPC

Wyoming Licensed

Originally from California, J.R. studied biology and philosophy at Berkeley. Shortly thereafter, he retired to the Jackson community where he has been in service (and skiing) ever since. More recently, J.R. witnessed a rather miraculous healing of a family member that made him curious about just what mental health means, and about the variety of ways available to us to enhance it. He took that curiosity to Adams State University where he received his MA in Clinical Mental Health Counseling.

J.R. believes that each of us has, as birthright, an inner healing intelligence that occasionally needs a little help from a counselor, sort of like your physical body’s natural ability to heal a cut that might occasionally need to be cleaned out and stitched by a doctor. J.R. is inspired and informed by Irvin Yalom, Andrew Weil, Marcus Aurelius, Carl Jung and Stan Grof.

Outside of work, you can usually find J.R. in the mountains, in his books, or in the kitchen.
