About Me

I (Jean Lovelace) obtained a Master’s Degree in Counseling and Psychology from Adams State University (1990) in Alamosa, Colorado. I am a licensed professional counselor #LPC – 9271 in the state of Idaho. I am a certified School Counselor and School Principal in Idaho, and I hold a certificate from the International Institute of Restorative Practices (IIRP) (2021).  I am also EMDR certified for children and adults. I spent 30 years in schools at the elementary and secondary levels in both Colorado and Idaho.

I enjoy working with youth and their families to find common ground and a healing path. In the schools, I have worked with youth who have experienced trauma, ADHD, behavior problems, learning difficulties, depression, anxiety, and grief and loss. I like being in the schools so I can work with school staff to support the child in the classroom as well as work with parents to create a happy future for their family.

I have experience using positive behavior supports, art and play therapy, and restorative practices. My approach is strengths-based, and I think we can all learn skills that help us function and thrive.  I also encourage parents to come to therapy because what you do at home matters and affects how your child thinks and acts. I look forward to getting to know you and your child and seeing your family grow.
