Jennifer 'Jenna' Nevins, LMHC

Jennifer 'Jenna' Nevins is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Iowa who emphasizes connection as the starting point for healing. With five years of experience, she builds therapy around a respectful, collaborative relationship that supports clients as they navigate change, loss, trauma, and everyday stressors.

Jenna works with a wide variety of concerns, including trauma, grief, disability, postpartum depression and anxiety, PTSD, ADHD, parenting challenges, OCD, and autism. She aims to help people make sense of their symptoms by exploring where they come from and identifying practical ways to move forward, rather than focusing only on symptom management.

Her clinical work blends relational depth with evidence-informed methods. She draws from attachment-based and client-centered principles while using approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), trauma-focused therapy, internal family systems or parts work, mindfulness, somatic techniques, motivational interviewing, solution-focused strategies, and the Gottman Method when relationship work is appropriate. For Jenna, techniques are tools rather than ends in themselves, and she aims to cultivate safety, curiosity, and collaboration so clients can explore what truly matters to them.

Jenna values practical change alongside deeper understanding and supports clients in reclaiming a sense of choice, agency, and self-worth. She strives to create a space where people can arrive as they are, be seen without judgment, and take pride in the act of showing up. Jenna accepts new clients and provides services in English.
