About Jess Ward, T-LMHC
I am a compassionate and collaborative mental health counselor who will help you focus on your experience to formulate and achieve your individual or family goals. I believe you are the expert in your life and should be in the driver’s seat of your therapy experience.
I am dedicated to providing a safe and supportive environment and committed to helping you build the skill and insight you need to heal. I am skilled in helping you identify your strengths and work through your challenges to achieve your goals.
I earned my undergraduate degree in human services and family studies from Grand View University in Des Moines and my Master’s degree in Licensed Mental Health Counseling from Capella University. In my work with clients, I utilize a combination of solution-focused therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy techniques. This framework allows each client to have a tailored therapy experience to focus on their unique personal goals.
I work with teenagers (16 and older) and with individual adults. I will also be starting group therapy sessions for teenagers.
