Jacqueline Green-Garvey
I am a licensed clinical social worker and I’m glad that you have taken the important step to prioritize your mental health care. I specialize in helping individuals who struggle with anxiety, depression, trauma and fear of change. Life can be difficult and at times, we may experience traumatic events that can have a lasting impact on our lives. These experiences can affect many areas of our lives, such as self-esteem, relationships, and ability to cope with stress. I approach each session with empathy, compassion, and patience. I am here to help you work through challenging issues and connect with your inner strength and resilience. Together we’ll create a safe and supportive environment where you can explore your thoughts and emotions and learn effective coping skills. My approach is collaborative and tailored to meet your unique needs and goals. I incorporate trauma-informed modalities to ensure that the therapeutic environment is safe, nurturing, and empowering. I honor my client’s trust by providing a compassionate, non-judgmental, and empathetic space where you can be seen, heard, and supported. Whether you are looking to improve your relationships, manage your anxiety, or navigate a difficult life transition, I am here to support you on your journey. Thank you for considering me as your therapist, I look forward to the opportunity to work with you.
My clients often report that they have gained great insight into their behaviors and thought processes and feel more comfortable practicing self-compassion and self-care.
First session
The first session is primarily intake and rapport building, not a deep dive therapy session. We will cover logistics and confidentiality, gather information and set goals. This session lets you evaluate whether you feel safe and understood by your therapist. There is no pressure to share everything immediately.

I bring over thirty years of Social Work experience with various populations in a variety of medical and mental health settings. I can work effectively with a variety of individuals. I use a client-centered, goal oriented, integrative approach utilizing CBT techniques to challenge negative thought patterns and behaviors. I also use a trauma informed approach and mindfulness.
