Jenna Schlegel-Preheim, LISW
Coralville and Telehealth
My name is Jenna Schlegel-Preheim, I am a Licensed Independent Social Worker who works with individuals ages 20+. I approach clinical work with an emphasis on relationship, attachment, client strengths and mindfulness. My perspective is that the person seeking therapy is their own greatest resource – that each person has the innate and internal wisdom to navigate past and current pain, to find a place of peace and strength while healing from emotional wounds. I am interested in getting curious together about the clients inner-life and working to turn toward oneself with gentleness while trying to shift painful dynamics. One of my highest hopes in this work is that the strength and quality of the therapeutic relationship is itself a transformational change agent.
I am particularly interested in attachment wounds, grief/loss, spirituality, life transitions, interpersonal and relational concerns, and anxiety. I integrate social justice, equity, and inclusion values into my work and believe strongly in the inherent worth of all people. I have experience working in restorative justice programs, which bring together people who have harmed, with the people who have been harmed to work toward repairing the harm and making things as right as possible. This work helped me understand the capacity for relational and individual transformation. I have been providing therapy for 9 years, after graduating from Boise State University in Boise, Idaho. When I'm not doing therapy, I can likely be found with my two kids, hiking, biking or otherwise exploring the outdoors.
