Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a well-researched, evidence-based therapeutic approach that can help you identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviors, leading to improved coping mechanisms and a quicker path to managing mental health concerns such as anxiety, depression, and stress, as well as teach practical skills that can be used in your daily life.

Dialectical Behavior (DBT)

Jackie is an amazing therapist. She is always listening and giving great feedback. She is my first therapist ever and I feel so lucky to get to work with someone who is very amazing at what she does.
