About The Balanced Path

At The Balanced Path, we are committed to helping you in all areas of your life.

Jenny Fillebrown
Director

I graduated from the University of Vermont in 2016 with a Bachelor of Science in Psychological Science and a minor in Business Administration. Throughout my career, I have worked in a variety of mental health settings, gaining experience with different levels of care and diverse populations. This has deepened my understanding of the mental health field and the importance of compassionate client support.
I believe the therapeutic journey begins the moment a client reaches out for help. As part of the administrative team, I am committed to ensuring that every client feels welcomed, supported, and understood from the very first interaction. My experience and emotional intelligence allow me to provide an exceptional and seamless experience—one that eliminates the stress often associated with administrative processes.
I look forward to connecting with you to find the perfect therapist to support your unique needs and help you take the first step toward your balanced path!

My passion as a therapist is to be dedicated to helping individuals seeking positive life changes and personal growth. My goal is to create a safe, affirming environment where you'll feel supported, validated, and heard. Whether you're dealing with depression, anxiety, anger, self-harm, trauma, or other life challenges, we'll embark on a journey of self-discovery and empowerment together. My experience includes working with adolescents and adults from diverse backgrounds, including the LGBTQIA+ community. My approach is tailored to each client's unique needs, incorporating evidence-based practices such as Choice Theory/Reality Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Polyvagal techniques. Therapy can be beneficial whether you're navigating a difficult period, aiming to enhance your relationships, or simply expanding your mental health toolkit. It's an excellent path towards greater self-awareness and embracing your authentic self.

Anne-Marie Cooper LMFT

 I am a psychotherapist with a multicultural background and many years of clinical experience. I work with clients navigating a wide range of challenges, including depression, anxiety, stress, professional pressures, and relationship difficulties. My approach focuses on helping you understand the patterns beneath your struggles and explore meaningful changes that create balance, resilience, and forward momentum.

I have a particular interest in working with high-achieving professionals who feel “stuck,” overwhelmed, or disconnected despite their success. In our sessions, I help you reframe your personal narrative, strengthen emotional well-being, and develop a healthier, more sustainable path—both personally and professionally.

My work is grounded in cultural awareness, respect, and a strong belief in each person’s capacity for growth.

Jeff Pontes LPCC, Therapist,

Agency Owner, Clinical Supervisor

Greetings!! Making that first step to seek out a therapist is hard. It asks you to get vulnerable with a total stranger and I appreciate the courage it took to get this far. Don't worry, we'll take it from here! I like this work. It gives me an opportunity to meet lots of new people, sort through their problems together and provide real, usable solutions. I like offering solutions from the first session. You'll get homework and i'll ask hard questions and you may get mad at me. But know I do it because I care, want to help and truly believe I am doing what my creator intended me to do. 1 Peter 4:10 "Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God's grace in its various forms."
