About The Owner
Jennifer Bishop, LMHC, founded Genesis Counseling in 2015, beginning as a solo practitioner with a deep passion for providing high-quality mental health care. With over two decades of experience as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Qualified Supervisor in Florida, Jennifer’s vision was clear: to create a safe, inclusive, and empowering space where both clients and clinicians could thrive.
A native of Coral Springs, Florida, Jennifer graduated from Stoneman Douglas High School before earning her Bachelor’s degree from the University of Central Florida and her Master’s in Mental Health Counseling from Nova Southeastern University in 2004. Her expertise in working with children, adolescents, and families has shaped the foundation of Genesis Counseling, integrating experiential therapy, play therapy, art therapy, and cognitive-behavioral techniques to foster healing and growth.
The Growth of Genesis Counseling
What started as a solo practice soon grew into a thriving group practice in August 2020, expanding to serve more communities in South Florida. Today, Genesis Counseling operates in Boca Raton, Coral Springs, Delray Beach, and Pompano Beach, offering in-person therapy as well as virtual services throughout Florida. With a team of licensed clinicians, registered interns, student interns, a psychologist, and a dietitian, Genesis continues to evolve, ensuring specialized, diverse, and culturally competent care for all clients.
Genesis Counseling is also a trusted training site for future mental health professionals, partnering with Florida universities to host practicum students completing their master’s degrees in counseling. This commitment to education and professional development ensures that the next generation of therapists is well-equipped to serve their communities with excellence.
Commitment to Community & Recognition
Beyond the therapy room, Genesis Counseling is deeply embedded in the communities we serve. The practice actively participates in local Chambers of Commerce, mental health associations, and professional networks to advocate for mental health awareness and accessibility. Jennifer also serves on the board of the Adolescent Community Network (ACN), where she contributes to training, networking, and outreach services for professionals working with youth.
Genesis Counseling has been recognized and awarded for its dedication to exceptional mental health services, including:
- Best Mental Health Practice & Best Child Practice in Boca (2022, 2023, 2024)
- Business to Watch in Coral Springs (2024)
- Best of Florida Award (2023, 2024)
The Future of Genesis Counseling
With a strong foundation in integrity, authenticity, and excellence, Genesis Counseling continues to grow and expand to meet the needs of the community. In the fall of 2024, Genesis will be opening a new location in Wellington, furthering its mission of accessible and high-quality mental health care.
Although Jennifer is no longer accepting new clients, she offers business coaching and consulting services for therapists looking to grow their own private practice. To learn more, contact je******@**********************da.com.
