Jemma Battaglia, MSW Intern

My Approach & Philosophy

Hello!

I am a master’s student in my final year of the clinical social work program at East Tennessee State University and a pre-licensed student intern, here to hold space and grow with you. I will be offering support under the supervision of a licensed clinical social worker with Resilient Mind Counseling.

I am here to engage in a collaborative experience with teens and adults, utilizing an eclectic approach to provide you support and deep care. My approach is intersectional, sex-positive, and trauma informed. I am especially enthusiastic to work with individuals who are of a queer or trasngender experience.

I have worked in the realm of mental health in various capacities over the last fourteen years, showing up for diverse populations in many settings, including: crisis services, case management, transitional living, school-based support, harm reduction, and peer support. My current position is as a Lifeline Supervisor with The Trevor Project, a national suicide prevention and crisis intervention organization for LGBTQ+ young people.

Areas of Support:

• LGBTQIA+
• Gender identity
• identify formation
• life transitions
• relationships (open/polyamorous)
• support for helpers/healers/organizers/caregivers
