Mindful Growth

Mindful Growth Mental health therapist in the Ankeny/Des Moines, IA area. I am here to support you in making the changes you desire in your life. Limited insurances accepted.

Currently accepting new clients. Jenny is a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) who received her degree from the University of Iowa. She has experience in working with families, children and adolescents (ages 4-17) and adults. She specializes in relational issues, attachment, anger management, anxiety and depression. For children and teens, we provide a supportive environment to help them be

tter understand and manage their emotions, increase self-compassion, and improve communication skills. For families, we work to strengthen relationships, foster understanding, and create strategies to navigate challenges together. With adults, we focus on identifying the roots of anxiety, unlearning habits that no longer serve you, and building tools to set boundaries and live more authentically. One of Jenny's passions is guiding individuals to set healthy boundaries in their personal and professional lives. We’ll work on understanding your needs and communicating effectively. Whether it’s learning to say “no” without guilt or redefining relationships that no longer serve you, we aim to empower you to make choices that support your emotional health. If you believe Jenny may be the right therapist for you, or your child, please reach out.

It’s the last day of Mental Health Awareness Month, and yes, I’m just now posting 🙃 But in many ways, that feels fitting.

Growth doesn’t follow a perfect timeline. Like anything that blooms, it happens gradually, in its own season. Whether that looks like setting a boundary, asking for support, or simply getting through the day, it all counts.

If this month has passed and you haven’t had much time to focus on yourself, consider this your reminder: it’s never too late to start.

Being a mental health provider is a role I don’t take lightly. Today, I’m especially grateful for the trust my clients place in me and for the community of providers who continue to show up with empathy, care, and dedication. Grateful for this career and the privilege of supporting others in their healing. 🌿

🎉 Celebrating One Year! 🎉

This week marks one year since I opened the doors to my private practice, and I want to take a moment to reflect and say thank you. Over the past year, I’ve had the privilege of walking alongside clients on their journeys toward growth, resilience, and meaningful change.

I’m incredibly grateful to everyone who has supported me over the past year—whether by trusting me as your therapist, referring someone in need, or offering guidance and encouragement. Your trust and support have been instrumental in sustaining this practice and allowing me to do the work I’m so passionate about. Thank you for supporting Mindful Growth!

Today is all about supporting the small businesses that bring value to our community. As a local business owner and therapist, I’m so grateful for the opportunity to serve and support those around me.

Referrals are one of the greatest compliments I can receive. Many of the clients I’ve had the privilege to work with have come through referrals—whether from past clients, friends, family, or colleagues. If you know someone who might benefit from therapy, I’d be honored if you shared my name with them.

It's OCD Awareness Week! OCD is a mental health condition that affects millions of people worldwide, yet is often misunderstood and trivialized. It's not just about being neat or organized- it's about living with intrusive thoughts and repetitive behaviors that can disrupt everyday life. By raising awareness, we can reduce stigma, offer support and encourage those affected to seek help. Mindful Growth treats children and adults with OCD. Please reach out if you are in need of support.
