When you're going through seasons of difficulty, day to day life stressors or just need somebody to talk to and process with; that search can seem so difficult!

We will work together to set goals and get you to what you feel that you need. Welcome to a fresh start! Let's unpack.

We all have to deal with a concept called LIFE! It is impossible to escape, but you have the ability to maneuver through it in a positive, safe, and healthy manner. It is my passion to equip clients with the tools to overcome circumstances that life has dealt them. I enjoy working with a myriad of age groups and concerns. I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I collaborate with clients to develop achievable/realistic goals that will improve their current life circumstances. I take a relatable approach in therapy creating an environment that invites clients to safely share. I have been practicing counseling for 10 years.

My name is Jacqueline Pickens. I am a mother, wife, daughter, sister, and friend to many. I know all to well the feeling of being overwhelmed with trying to do it all.

Are you ready for change? Austrian psychiatrist and psychotherapist, Viktor Frankl stated “When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves”. I have built most of my work around studying trauma and the effects it has on a human. Trauma defined is an event or circumstance that is beyond a person's ability to cope properly. Many symptoms like anxiety, depression, dissociation, fatigue, and guilt follow trauma. Trauma is scary and I do not believe we were meant to do life alone. I offer to serve as someone who can collaboratively walk through the trauma with you.
