Meet our graduate level interns

 Hi, I’m Jenna Perry. I am currently pursuing my master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Culver-Stockton College, where I also earned my bachelor’s degrees in Elementary Education and Psychology. 

I’m passionate about supporting children and walking alongside them as they navigate their unique journeys. Building trust, fostering growth, and helping children feel seen and understood are at the heart of the work I hope to do.

I’m from the suburbs of Chicago and recently made Knoxville my new home. Outside of the counseling office, I enjoy hiking with my husband and puppy, gardening, and discovering new things to cook.

 I am currently earning my Master of Science degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and expect to graduate in May 2027. I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Forensic Psychology from Florida Institute of Technology in 2022.

My professional experiences have provided me with the opportunity to work with individuals across a variety of ages and backgrounds. I have worked in a crisis center, a family shelter, and currently as a substitute teacher, experiences that have strengthened my ability to connect with people from diverse backgrounds and navigate a wide range of needs and circumstances. These experiences have further inspired my passion for supporting others and pursuing a career in mental health counseling.

I believe in creating a safe, welcoming, and nonjudgmental environment where individuals feel comfortable being themselves and exploring their experiences. As a counseling intern, I look forward to continuing to develop my skills while supporting clients as they work toward their personal goals and well-being.

Outside of counseling, I enjoy hiking, spending time with my dog, Charlie, and making memories with my family and friends.

 Hi, I’m Sabrina Feld! I am finishing my Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Walden University after graduating with my B.S. in Psychology in 2019 from Birmingham-Southern College. I am from Venezuela and immigrated to the United States when I was 4, so Spanish is my first language. I’ve been working as an Early Childhood Educator for the past 6 years in Knoxville and am deeply passionate about working with children! I believe that every child’s journey is unique, and that they deserve to be met with curiosity, compassion, and acceptance. I aim to focus on building a trusting relationship where children feel safe to express themselves, discover their strengths, and grow at their own pace. Outside of counseling, I love spending time with my family, being outdoors, and curling up with a good book! 

¡Hola, soy Sabrina Feld! Estoy terminando mi maestría en Consejería de Salud Mental Clínica en Walden University, tras haberme graduado en Psicología (B.S.) en 2019 en Birmingham-Southern College. Nací en Venezuela y emigré a los Estados Unidos cuando tenía 4 años, por lo que el español es mi lengua materna. He trabajado como maestra de primaria durante los últimos 6 años en Knoxville, ¡y me apasiona profundamente trabajar con niños! Creo que el camino de cada niño es único y que merecen ser recibidos con curiosidad, compasión y aceptación. Mi objetivo es centrarme en construir una relación de confianza donde los niños se sientan seguros para expresarse, descubrir sus fortalezas, y crecer a su propio ritmo. Fuera del ámbito de la consejería, me encanta pasar tiempo con mi familia, disfrutar del aire libre, y acomodarme para leer un buen libro.
