We are excited to announce the addition of Renee Murphy to the FLF team as our clinical mental health counseling intern. Our team is very important to us and has been a great addition.

Renee is completing her Master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Antioch University New England, with a concentration in trauma-informed care. She provides individual therapy to our clients as continuing care after they have attended our five-day mindfulness and resiliency program. Before entering the counseling field, Renee built a career in technology, ultimately stepping away to pursue a path more aligned with direct service and healing. Her background includes service in the United States Air Force, volunteer work on a su***de prevention crisis line, and time as a Court Appointed Special Advocate, all of which ground her deep commitment to working with first responders, veterans, and others carrying the lasting weight of their service. Renee holds a Certificate in Traumatic Stress Studies from the Trauma Research Foundation and draws on a relational approach in her work, integrating IFS, somatic and body-based practices, and nature-based perspectives. Outside of her clinical work, Renee is a competitive powerlifter with a deep connection to the natural world. She brings both professional experience and genuine respect to every client she serves and feels honored to be learning alongside the team at Front Line Foundations.

We couldn't be happier to announce that after completing her internship at FLF, Jetts Allen has officially joined our team as a staff clinician.

Jetts received her Clinical Mental Health Counseling degree at Antioch University New England with a particular focus on trauma and resiliency. She is one of our clinicians at FLF who sees clients for individual therapy. Being raised in a small, rural community birthed a love for the healing nature of the outdoors in addition to an insatiable desire to learn more about different world cultures and practices outside of her own social landscape. Her brother served in the United States Marine Corps, allowing an understanding of the hardships and lack of support and resources veterans face as they transition into a civilian setting.

Therapeutically, she strongly believes in client individuality, respect, autonomy, and empowerment as everyone possesses their own, one-of-a-kind story. She feels it is truly an honor to be learning from and working with the staff and clients here at Front Line Foundations.
