Picture
My name is Jennifer Biggs (she/her). I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor. My career began in juvenile justice with a focus on providing treatment for adolescents and families with substance abuse and sexual behavior problems. This provided a great foundation to build my therapeutic approach, which is largely trauma-informed and rooted in being a motivator for change. Morphing from a residential to an outpatient provider, I have enjoyed working with younger children, adolescents and adults with a variety of challenges. I believe in the power of a positive therapeutic relationship, combined with person-centered, cognitive-behavioral and expressive techniques. I am always excited to meet each client where they are in life – and help propel them to the place they want to be!

Jessica Burford, MA, LPC
Hi! My name is Jessica Burford (she/her). I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I have experience working with diverse populations, including adolescents, adults, and families, addressing issues such as anxiety, depression, and trauma. My approach to counseling is person-centered with a focus on creating a safe, nonjudgmental environment where individuals feel heard and empowered to navigate life’s challenges and build resilience. In session I utilize an eclectic blend of counseling modalities that meet the individual person’s needs. As a counselor, I enjoy connecting with individuals and collaborating in the therapeutic relationship to achieve positive change. I enjoy reading, getting out in nature, sports and spending time with family. I look forward to getting to know you!

Sharon's Picture
Hi! My name is Sharon Anchak (she/her) and I founded Journey Well, LLC in 2015 to fulfill my vision of providing quality clinical services in a warm and supportive environment. With more than 25 years experience in the behavioral health field, I remain strongly passionate about providing people with the opportunity to discover (or re-discover!) their strengths and grow in ways they may not have envisioned for themselves. The therapeutic relationship involves comfort, trust, shared humor, and an authentic exchange of thoughts and emotions; I believe it is the foundation for healing, growth, and positive changes. I value the therapeutic relationships I establish in my practice. My experience includes providing clinical services for children, adolescents, and adults in outpatient, inpatient, residential, school, and correctional settings. I also enjoy and appreciate being part of the journey for future professional counselors as an adjunct professor with Xavier University's Community Mental Health Counseling program.

As a life-long, avid lover of nature and animals, my family currently includes a dog, two cats, two rats, and various inhabitants of a saltwater aquarium. I also enjoy combining my love of nature with another favorite activity - photography - and wanted to share some of my photos with you on our website! I love incorporating the healing power of nature and of the human-animal bond into my personal and professional life. I am also excited to incorporate the healing power of music at Journey Well, LLC through our Rhythms! program.
