My name is Jenna Schloss and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Illinois. I specialize in treating individuals ages 18 and up who suffer from OCD and other anxiety disorders such as generalized anxiety disorder, social anxiety disorder, and panic disorder. I understand that it takes a great deal of bravery to reach out for help when you are struggling and I want to assure you that I am here to support you on your journey. I see therapy as a challenging, yet rewarding space for my clients to feel supported as they work towards creating a more fulfilling life.

My experience includes providing individual and group therapy, as well as facilitating trainings about evidence-based treatment. I have had the opportunity to receive intensive training and consultation in several evidence-based treatment modalities such as Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). I utilize these approaches as a foundation for treatment, and tailor my approach to the individual needs and goals of each client. All of my work with clients incorporates a collaborative approach, warmth, trust, and humor. I believe that laughter is an essential part of life and mental health.

Outside of my work with individual clients, I engage in regular training and consultation with colleagues and also participate in biweekly one on one supervision in order to foster continuous clinical growth in service of providing the best treatment for my clients. 

In my free time, you can find me drinking Diet Coke, exploring my neighborhood via long walks, trying out restaurants across Chicago (I especially love spicy dishes!), and giving belly rubs to my dog, Maddie. I also love seeing live stand-up comedy – humor is a big part of my life and I incorporate it into treatment with my clients as much as possible!
