Hello, I’m Demetria Jackson, a licensed psychotherapist with a deep commitment to guiding individuals on their journey to emotional and relational well-being. Like you, I navigate various roles in life – I’m a dedicated mother, a loving wife, a supportive sister, and a caring friend. These roles enrich my understanding and empathy, crucial elements I bring into my therapeutic practice.

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

During your initial session, you can expect a welcoming and non-judgmental atmosphere where we build a strong therapeutic connection. We'll discuss your goals and concerns, including any influences from your unique life experiences, such as race, culture, sexuality and/or faith. I'll introduce therapeutic approaches like EMDR, Brainspotting, and Gottman methods, emphasizing their role in understanding, healing, and personal growth. Together, we'll ignite your drive to heal, grow, and align your life choices with your authentic self. Our aim is to embrace your journey, navigate its beauty and challenges, and guide you towards a life filled with freedom, love, and fulfillment. If you're ready for this transformative journey, I'm here to support you, sharing stories, tears, laughter, and triumphs along the way.

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

My greatest strengths as a provider stem from my genuine passion for fostering connections and facilitating healing. These roles enrich my understanding and empathy, crucial elements I bring into my therapeutic practice. Proficient in EMDR, Brainspotting, and Gottman methods, I empower clients to uncover their inner strength and growth potential. I am dedicated to creating a safe and supportive environment, fostering transformative change and emotional well-being. Additionally, my engagement in workshops and my love for music, especially playing the alto saxophone, add a unique dimension to my therapeutic approach. I love the creative arts and am an advocate of utilizing your creativity to heal. I believe that all of us can learn from mistakes with a spirit of self compassion and choose whom to trust, ultimately realizing your own self-worth and safe relationships.

My treatment methods

Brainspotting

Are you ready to embark on a journey of self-discovery and healing, exploring both your past and the possibilities of your future? As a certified Brainspotting therapist, I offer a unique, virtual therapeutic experience grounded in the innovative work of Dr. David Grand. Brainspotting operates on the principle that "Where you look affects how you feel," enabling us to access and process deep-rooted emotional experiences with profound effectiveness. In our sessions, we’ll use a Brainspotting pointer to identify specific eye positions linked to emotional memories, unlocking the door to your subconscious. This technique delves into areas of unprocessed trauma, initiating a powerful healing process. It's particularly effective for complex emotional and physical traumas, and also in unlocking creativity and personal growth. Having been personally trained by Dr. Grand, I bring not only my professional expertise but also a personal touch as an alto sax player, integrating music to enhance your healing journey. Whether it’s navigating through past traumas or unlocking new levels of creativity and understanding, my virtual practice provides a safe and transformative space for exploration and growth. Join me in harnessing the power of your gaze and the therapeutic potential of music, stepping into a world of emotional freedom and well-being.

EMDR

Seeking to transform your emotional distress, disrupt automatic fight or flight responses, and react differently to triggers? My journey as an EMDR therapist, guided by EMDRIA's meticulous training, has equipped me with profound insights into the complex tapestry of human emotions. In my virtual practice, I offer more than symptom treatment; I provide a deeply empathetic connection to each individual's unique story. Whether you're healing from trauma, grappling with the impacts of racial or religious injustice, or coping with workplace stress, my approach combines deep compassion with professional expertise. In our virtual sessions, I create a warm, personal space using the HIPAA-compliant tool bilateralstimulation.io, bringing the transformative power of EMDR therapy into your home. I understand the intersectionality and systemic influences shaping your experiences. Recognizing the unique blend of societal, cultural, and personal factors in your struggle, I tailor my therapy to deeply resonate with you. Each session is a step towards understanding, acceptance, and transformation. Join me in this courageous journey toward healing. As your therapist and companion, I am dedicated to guiding you towards well-being and inner harmony, supporting you with my expertise, empathy, and unwavering commitment. Let's navigate this path together, towards a life where you're in control of your responses and emotions.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

This approach isn't just about coping; it's a deep dive into your thought processes, unlocking the door to self-discovery and empowerment.

By reshaping negative thoughts, we'll pave the way for positive change, fostering a connection that transcends the virtual space.
