About me

Welcome and congratulations on engaging in positive self-care. My name is Jennifer Shaw and I have 20 + years of experience as a Licensed Independent Social Worker. I live in Iowa and graduated from the University of Northern Iowa. I have worked in a variety of setting from urban to rural and varying socioeconomic backgrounds. I work with adults and teenagers as well as providing some family and couples counseling. My practice approach consists of cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, positive psychology as well as others. I recently completed my certification in mental health and integrative medicine and do believe that a holistic approach can be very beneficial to help manage life challenges.
