Jackie Martin
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). I received my Master of Social Work degree from the University of Tennessee. With almost 20 years of experience as a social worker, I have worked with various populations, including adult mental health, addiction, children and families, and geriatrics. I am passionate about helping people reach their greatest potential and believe everyone can grow into who they are supposed to be without judgement. Over the past few years, I have shifted my focus to working more with individuals living with severe mental illness and addiction, but enjoy working with everyone!
First session
During your first session, you will have the opportunity to tell your story, provide your background and what you hope to achieve in therapy. I aim to create a comfortable environment that allows you to share and be vulnerable but also secure. We will actively work together to reach your goals.
Strengths
Everyone deserves to be heard without judgement. Once we decide we are a good fit to work together, we will focus on the goals you want to set and reach. I'm here to be the listening ear you're looking for and I will challenge you and validate your journey along the way.
Ideal clients
I'd love to work with you if you are learning how to live with your diagnosis and if you're self-aware and have the necessary tools but need additional support. I want to work with you to understand you are not alone in your journey. My background working with severe mental illness, addiction, personality disorders, depression and anxiety will help you to become unstuck and open to move forward with your life.
