Testimonials

"I have been counseling with Jenelle for 6 months. Surprisingly I have really enjoyed it. The counseling with Jenelle has helped me overcome things no other therapist has been able to conquer. I have been through difficult issues in my life, even in the last few months. Without the support and help she has provided I would have not had made it through. I am very grateful for this ministry." ~ Survivor

"Jenelle, Thank you. I have told you that countless times, but no matter how many times I repeat that phrase, it won't feel like enough. It won't be enough. It won't be enough because it may sound like an exaggeration to some, but you'll know it's true you saved my life. When we met I was young, and quiet, and secretly rebelled against even a tiny hint of a suggestion of how to handle things. I challenged you every chance I got. You didn't give up. You listened when I could barely speak because tears were running too fast down my face and panic had taken my breath away. You listened when I was sad, and angry, and confused. You listened while I cried desperate for relief, from physical pain to emotional pain and trauma. Time and time again you always listened to whatever it was I had to say. You sat with me as I outlined the traumatic events of my past that I had never managed to speak aloud. You sat and waded through the messes in my mind from years of denial, lies, and hurt. You listened and stayed strong because you knew in those moments it took every ounce of strength I had to go back and recount the memories. Instead of avoiding the hard topics, you embraced them. You helped me face fear after fear. Tackling a daunting list of intangibles day after day. The list has evolved, changed, and grown, but you've stayed committed to the course with me. Tackling anxiety and learning when to just "rip off the Band Aid" and do it. Thank you." ~ Survivor

"I can't believe you actually stuck with me. I don't think anyone has ever loved and checked on me quite like you have. Thank you for always being there even if it was to put me in check. I love you." ~ Survivor

I have known and worked with Jenelle Goodrich for multiple years. Jenelle has been a passionate advocate for victims of trafficking in every case I have worked with her. She has consistently taken time to provide for the needs of these victims and has given of herself in a variety of situations. On one specific case, Jenelle was able to help a victim overcome her tremendous fear of speaking out and seeking justice due to the conditioning she had endured from her trafficker. By being a safe person to talk to and by being a support to this female she was able to tell her story and allow investigators to seek justice on her behalf. Jenelle would be an excellent candidate for partnership due to her vast knowledge and experience counseling victims of Human Trafficking. Her ability to see the big picture and to provide focus to the task at hand is also a tremendous skill Jenelle has. As far as her ability to manage large scale projects, Jenelle has been able to manage a caseload of clients as well as plan and execute a large-scale event simultaneously. Her ability to multi-task and follow through on assigned tasks as well as think outside of the box for tasks that would be beneficial is second to none. Jenelle is also a great team player and will be very dedicated to working with others as well as independently.
I recommend Jenelle Goodrich as a candidate for partnership and feel she meets the qualifications on a variety of levels. She would be a tremendous asset to your team and will bring a positive energy to all she is involved in. ~ Detective Stadler
