My name is Jennifer Macias, LCSW and I specialize in providing therapy to adults experiencing grief and loss. I also support clients experiencing relationship challenges, depression, anxiety, chronic illness, and problems with self-esteem or personal growth. I approach therapy with a holistic and trauma-informed approach. As a Latina of Mexican-American descent, I also see clients who prefer to do sessions in Spanish.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

I will get a detailed background and establish goals with you. Topics I bring up in session may include relationship/family dynamics, attachment styles, boundaries, history of losses/hardships, past experiences and their impact on you today, behavioral and thinking patterns, self-compassion, and coping.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I am inclusive, non-judgmental and knowledgeable. I am continuously learning, collaborating, and looking to grow as a professional. I participate in continuing education related to grief and loss and a variety of concerns.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

My own experiences with grief and loss eventually led me to do this work. I also have a background working in inpatient palliative care where I learned to support patients with serious illness. My experience has helped me understand how to navigate the medical system and in supporting individuals who are experiencing illness and loss. I enjoy working with BIPOC and LGBTQ+ clients and my services are available to every person regardless of race, ethnicity, gender identity, gender expression, national origin, class, ability status, natal sex, military status, spiritual practice, marital status, age, sexual orientation or citizenship status.
