Hi, I’m Demetria Jackson, a licensed psychotherapist and trauma specialist who helps people reconnect with their inner strength and truth. I’m also a woman, a mother, a partner, a friend, and a believer in the power of healing through connection. My work is rooted in presence, cultural humility, and deep listening. I created the FlourishSpotting™ Method as a way to help clients move beyond survival and begin to flourish. In our work together, we listen to the body, honor the story, explore the sacred, and gently reclaim the parts of you that were never meant to be lost.

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

In our first session, we’ll slow things down. You’ll be welcomed just as you are. We’ll get curious about what’s bringing you in, what feels heavy, and what you’re hoping for. Whether we’re naming trauma, sorting through relational patterns, or exploring spiritual wounds, the space will be gentle and collaborative. I’ll share how I work with EMDR, Brainspotting, somatic practices, the Gottman Method, and my own FlourishSpotting™ approach. You’ll never be asked to go faster than your body or spirit is ready for. This is your space to be real, release what no longer serves you, and begin again.

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

My greatest strength is creating a space where people feel emotionally safe, spiritually seen, and deeply respected. I bring a trauma-informed, culturally responsive, and spiritually grounded presence into every session. I’m trained in EMDR, Brainspotting, and Gottman Method couples therapy, and I integrate my FlourishSpotting™ framework to guide clients in reconnecting with their inner wisdom. I support people navigating attachment wounds, racial trauma, spiritual confusion, emotional disconnection, and burnout. I also believe in the healing power of creativity, laughter, and music. Playing the alto saxophone is one of my personal grounding tools, and that spirit of artistry often shows up in my work. I meet people with curiosity, not judgment. Whether we’re sitting with grief, exploring repair, or rediscovering joy, I am here to walk with you as you reclaim your voice and your wholeness.

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

I work best with people who have been carrying too much for too long. Many of my clients are women navigating high-functioning anxiety, burnout, or relationship trauma, often after years of putting others first and losing connection with themselves. I specialize in supporting Black women and women of color, drawing on my lived experience to create space that feels culturally safe and emotionally honest. At the same time, I welcome women from all backgrounds who are ready to do the deep work of healing and self-reclamation. Whether you’re emerging from an emotionally abusive relationship, processing spiritual trauma, or simply craving space to reconnect with who you are, we will move at your pace. My FlourishSpotting™ approach meets each person with respect, care, and curiosity, helping you name what hurts, rediscover your voice, and begin again.

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.
