Jeffrey Thoelen, LCSW
About me
I work specifically with young adults (college, 20-30 somethings) through various life changes and transitions, that include relationships and social issues, academic stress, and significant life changes like new jobs or location changes. Significant change is a normal part of young adulthood, but it can be a stressful and confusing time. I've also worked extensively with psychiatric issues such as phobias and OCD and have significant experience working with young people who were recently diagnosed with chronic illness or are experiencing health anxiety
We will partner together each session to help you feel heard and supported, to explore practical solutions to make you feel more in control of your situation and to build cognitive skills that will increase your ability to feel calmer and to think more clearly.
Let's start the conversation today and begin our work together to get you feeling the way you'd like to be. My schedule on this site is currently limited to the hours/days you see. For more information about my practice please go to jeffreythoelen.com

Jeffery has been fantastic thus far- being compassionate, understanding, and working hard with me to find solutions to what brought me here. I’m thankful for him.

Jeff helped me a lot during my down moment. I had lost hope and didn't know what else to do. He listened to me and helped me get my life back on track. He is efficient, not judgemental and always on time. He never canceled a single session. Thanks alot Jeff, I am really grateful and I am looking forward to being able to continue utilizing all the lessons I have learnt. Thank you
