Jessica Hertlein

Hi there, I’m Jessica Hertlein. I have a Master of Social Work (MSW), am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Work Associate (LSWAIC), and provide therapy services to children through young adults. I have a deep passion for working with individuals using a person-centered, strengths-based approach through a trauma-informed lens. I believe that you are the expert on your life, and I am here to support you in getting to where you want to be.

I have over 12 years of experience working with families and children in various capacities. During that time, I worked in the child welfare system, school settings, and provided in-home behavioral intervention supports. My experience includes a variety of areas such as anxiety, depression, trauma, and more. I am grateful for the opportunity to work with you and look forward to walking alongside you on your journey.
