Jakob Jehn, t-LMHC
Therapist
Jakob is accepting new clients and has immediate availability.
I believe in helping my clients learn about and make room for their distressing emotions, assisting them in contacting the present moment, and supporting their engagement in actions they find valuable. I work to help clients develop their psychological flexibility skills so they can better handle the ups and downs of life in ways that work for them long-term.
I have experience working with adults and adolescents addressing a variety of concerns, with a particular focus on treating obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), panic, phobias, and anxiety. In session, my clients can expect me to utilize a variety of evidence-based approaches to address their symptoms, including Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). I also incorporate Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I am LGBTQ-affirming and deeply value the diversity of the human experience.
I am passionate about raising awareness and providing support for those living with OCD. At Seva, I created and currently facilitate our Living with OCD Support Group for adults. Additionally, I developed and led Seva’s All About OCD Psychoeducational Group. I also serve on the Board of Directors for OCD Iowa, a non-profit organization focused on advocacy and outreach for OCD and related disorders throughout the state of Iowa.
If you feel you’re ready for some non-judgmental support, I invite you to reach out!
Speciality areas: OCD, panic disorder, phobias, generalized anxiety disorder, exposure-based treatments, depression, and grief.
I offer a free 15-minute phone or video consultation so you can see if we’re a good fit.
Jakob’s office is in the e5w location.
