Meet Jena
Jena Salon (she/her), MSW Candidate
Jena believes that healing begins in relationships where people feel seen, heard, and accepted for who they are. She takes a person-centered, trauma-informed approach to therapy, drawing from narrative therapy, motivational interviewing, and attachment-based and relational perspectives. Jena strives to create a space where clients feel safe exploring their experiences, building on their strengths, and moving toward the life they want to live.
Before joining Prism, Jena worked extensively with survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, human trafficking, and abuse, as well as individuals experiencing homelessness. Through this work, she supported people navigating complex systems while coping with trauma, grief, identity shifts, and experiences of powerlessness. These experiences continue to shape her commitment to helping clients cultivate greater safety, agency, and connection in their lives.
Jena earned her bachelor's degree in Religion and Anthropology from Wesleyan University and is currently completing her Master of Social Work at Simmons University. She also holds an MFA in Creative Writing, which deepens her appreciation for the stories people carry and the healing that can happen when people are given the space to make meaning of their experiences and reconnect with their strengths.
Jena is an out-of-network provider. Her therapy rate is $75/session. A superbill is available for direct insurance reimbursement.
