Jeanne Kolker - Insight Counseling and Wellness

The Covid pandemic has pretty much passed, but the fallout is far from over.  During the pandemic it has been reported that depression increased from 11% to close to 40%, from April 2020 - April 2021.  Statistics like that are mind boggling, though they also offer an opportunity to help people.

Jeanne Kolker is the owner of Insight Counseling and Wellness. She has been in business doing well for years.  Once the pandemic hit, the hockey stick of business growth came out.  This happened despite the challenges her business faced, including offering help suddenly over a screen and camera vs. in-person, the challenging rule changes from insurance companies, the concerns of her clients as they each adapted differently to something we were all trying to navigate.  The ever calm Jeanne took it in stride, helping all of those that her and her team were able to.

Listen as Jeanne shares with us some of her wisdom about how she and her team are helping people work through some emotional challenges and what she sees for the future of this necessary industry.

Enjoy!
