Jake Korbakes, LMSW
Coralville and Telehealth
I found this career through an unusual path. It began with one enlistment in the U.S. Navy where I worked in Intelligence. After the Navy I worked in law enforcement at the municipal, state, and federal level, with a majority of my law enforcement career being at the federal level. While working in law enforcement I witnessed how traumatic events affect the human spirit. I left law enforcement due to injuries piling up and a daily level of pain that wasn’t conducive to that career any longer.
Having experienced my own challenges and hardships in childhood and throughout my previous professional career positions, I personally know the difficulties in making sense and moving forward after painful experiences and hope to help others do the same. I chose this as my next path due to my love of the human condition, fascination with communication, and desire to continue to help. I bring unique experience in understanding first responder and military experiences. I am available for telehealth or in-person appointments in Coralville and take BCBS insurance. My areas of special interest are helping adults 21 and older who are affected by trauma, anxiety disorders, depression, and who need help due to feeling “stuck”.
