Jolene Hanson, L.I.C.S.W.

With over 16 years of experience in the mental health field, I provide evidence-based psychotherapy to children, adolescents and adults. I take a collaborative, patient-centered approach to care, working closely with each individual to establish meaningful treatment goals and develop personalized strategies to achieve them. I am committed to delivering high-quality, evidence-based care through active listening, compassionate communication and a genuine commitment to each patient's well-being.

My goal is to create a supportive environment where patients feel heard, respected and empowered throughout their treatment journey. Clinical modalities I utilize in my practice include cognitive processing therapy (CPT), eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)  and exposure and response prevention (ERP).
