Life can feel heavy, hard, confusing, isolating, and overwhelming.

Therapy is a beautiful and safe space where goals are set, skills are practiced, and emotions are supported.

I enjoy working one-on-one with children and adults, and with families, teaching them to communicate in healthier ways, learn to cope with stressors, and break destructive patterns.

Starting therapy is one of the kindest things you can do for yourself. One of my greatest honors in life is being able to meet clients in the depths of their pain and to support them as they find healing. My clients are some of the bravest people I’ve ever met, and it’s been especially powerful to see them embrace love, forgiveness, and to be freed from shame. My heart is to work with those struggling with grief, anxiety, depression, and so much more. My approach is tailored to the needs of the client and I provide Faith-Based and Non Faith-Based therapy.

Hi! My name is Jacquelin "Jackie" Psota. I am a Licensed Clinical Psychotherapist (LCP) in Emporia, Kansas. I have 20 years of experience working with a large range of mental health diagnoses, severities, and symptoms through Individual, Family, Couples, and Group Therapy.

I utilize a wide variety of techniques to best meet the client's needs.

Hi there! I know is not easy to take the first step into therapy. Or making the decision to get back into therapy or even looking for a new counselor. It takes strength and wisdom to reach out for help. Sometimes life does not go the way we plan. Or we simply find ourselves with day to day stress/struggles. I like to embrace what you are already doing good and empower you in your life journey.

Life becomes difficult for everyone at times. Emotions and cognitions can build up and be experienced in negative ways. I work with clients of all ages to increase hope and trust in their lives and relationships. I want to empower my clients to learn skills to effectively handle whatever they are struggling with in their life. I walk with my clients as they learn to handle the ups and downs of their life journey.

I became a therapist for one simple reason: I love people! For me, it is not a job, but a calling. Our mission as therapists/counselors/helpers and healers is to come along side those who have fallen, and help them up; to walk with them on their journey and hopefully assist them by giving insight and understanding of their pasts and presents which will provide them hope for their futures. It is my belief that therapy is a collaborative effort, where both my clients and I work together in forming realistic treatment plans, complete with attainable goals.

Life can throw us curve balls. It isn't always what we imagined it may be. We may find ourselves struggling with the pressures of everyday life and sometimes overwhelmed by the unexpected.

At Brave Counseling, we are here to help you push through everyday struggles and tackle life's struggles so you can regain control and functioning of life.

I am a Licensed Master's Clinical Social Worker and a Registered Play Therapist. I received a Master's degree in Social Welfare from The University of Kansas in 2006 and a Bachelor's in Psychology from Missouri Valley College in 1999. I provide therapy to individuals and families ages 2 and up. I have experience treating trauma, grief and loss, divorce, adjustment issues, mood disorders, anxiety, as well as abuse and neglect issues using a variety of treatment approaches including Play Therapy, Sand Tray Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy.

We don’t come into this world with a guidebook and at times our upbringing fails to equip us emotionally for the journey ahead. This combined with life stressors and lack of support can make it difficult to navigate challenges that come our way and can negatively impact our mental health. Our minds can feel like a runaway train, our bodies run on auto pilot and relationships are left strained. Depression and anxiety can set in, leaving us helpless and overwhelmed. Emotional injuries may show up as difficulty trusting others, expressing or regulating emotions, or solving problems.

Is your child’s behavior a phase or something more? I help translate puzzling behaviors and moods, working with both children and parents to use play as a communication tool. My non-judgmental, relaxed approach encourages even hesitant children to engage and explore. Let’s build a supportive team around your child’s needs.

You and those you love live in scary and uncertain times. You likely find yourself in a world you barely recognize, having to get by with more needs on fewer resources. We have all began to see the results of living under constant fight-or-flight stress while an entire world struggles to get by without needed coping skills, adequate financial resources, or knowing where to turn for guidance.
