Hi, I’m Dr. Jenna Bauer.

(she/her)

I am a licensed Clinical Psychologist in the state of Illinois. I received my Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) degree in Psychology from UW-Madison and my Master of Arts (M.A.) and Doctor of Psychology (Psy.D.) degrees from the APA-Accredited Clinical Psychology program at Alliant International University, San Francisco. I completed my doctoral internship at the University of Illinois at Chicago’s Counseling Center and my postdoctoral residency at Kaiser Permanente Department of Psychiatry in San Rafael, CA.

Throughout my training, I have worked in a range of settings including child and adolescent day treatment and outpatient programs, eating disorder treatment centers, substance abuse centers, and college counseling centers. I worked for 10 years at the University of Illinois at Chicago’s Counseling Center providing therapy services to students and supervision and training to doctoral trainees. Additionally, I created and was the Assistant Director for the Mind-Body Programs at UIC. I am currently devoting myself full time to my private practice serving adults in the Chicagoland area.

I am passionate about holistic, mind-body wellness and have sought out many trainings in this area. I am a certified Koru Mindfulness teacher, a 200-hour Certified Yoga Instructor (CYT-200), a Mindful Performance Enhancement Awareness and Knowledge (mPEAK) Certified Coach, a certified HeartMath® Interventions Practitioner, and have been trained in mindful self-compassion and trauma-sensitive yoga. I enjoy leading workshops, webinars, and professional speaking engagements for organizations and corporations on topics such as mindfulness and self-compassion.
