My name is Jenna Wieden and I work as a counselor in the Counseling Center located in New Hall.  I started working at St. Olaf on September 6th, 2021. Before that, I received a bachelor’s degree in Psychology at UW-Madison (2007), a master’s degree in Sexuality Studies at San Francisco State University (2009), and ultimately my PhD in Clinical Psychology from Alliant International University in 2017.

I work to support students holistically by providing them with a non-judgmental and affirming space to explore who they are, as well as strategies to navigate mental health concerns and everyday stress. I enjoy working with students around topics of life transitions, stress, anxiety, depression, grief/loss, sexuality, and the mind/body connection from a strengths-based, person-centered, feminist perspective. I have a special interest in supporting and advocating for LGBTQA+ communities, both in and out of the therapy room. In my non-work life, I enjoy watercoloring, baking, watching reality TV, and spending time with my two dogs.
