Jenna Evans, MA, LMHCA

I graduated from the University of Kentucky with a Bachelor of Exercise Science with a goal of competing as a professional athlete in track & field. I did just that and competed professionally as an Olympian until 2016. With a lingering injury, burnout, and identity issues, I wasn’t quite sure what else life had to offer me. I decided to take on an opportunity and train with the Canadian Olympic Bobsleigh Team for the 2018 Winter Games. As exciting as the idea was, I was relieved when a serious sport-ending injury ended this journey. However, I wasn’t anticipating the impact my mental health and my marriage would endure. During this transition of being an “ex-athlete,” experiencing persistent nerve pain, and depression, I decided to return to school and study psychology at Yorkville University.

This growth journey of mine, one of Spiritual breakthrough and awakening, was the beginning of freedom in my life. My injury healed. My depression healed. My identity and marriage…thrived.

What I am passionate about, is two-fold. One, helping athletes of all stages reach their potential by removing mental barriers and teaching skills and strategies that maximize performance. I also like helping individuals with life struggles and injustices in their lives that hold them back from living a life of freedom in Christ.
