JEN HAHN, MA, LPC

Jen has lived in Colorado most of her life. She graduated high school from Rocky Mountain in Fort Collins, received her bachelor’s from CSU in Human Development and Family Studies, and then went on to get her Master of Arts in Counseling from Colorado Christian University. She worked for over 5 years at an inpatient psychiatric hospital, and went on to work at an addiction treatment center for 1 ½ years. Within that time, she also worked with clients individually within a private practice setting. Her specialties include addiction, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, relationships, and life transitions. She utilizes eclectic therapeutic approaches including solution focused, cognitive behavioral therapy, person- centered, biblical counseling, and others. Jen and her family are involved at Vintage City Church. She has also been married for 10 years and has two beautiful children. In her spare time, she loves baking, music, board games, and all things Germany (that’s another story!). Her goal is to see hearts healed, and people set free. She’d love to get to know you and walk with you in that process.
