Jackie Harvel

Jackie Harvel is a compassionate and dedicated licensed professional counselor whose work is deeply rooted in the understanding that life experiences shape individuals' thoughts, behaviors, and perspectives. She specializes in addressing the complexities of depression, trauma, and PTSD, recognizing that many human behaviors and thought patterns stem from past traumas. By helping clients identify the impacts of these traumas, Jackie empowers them to initiate positive changes for their future. Without addressing underlying traumas, individuals may face challenges such as anxiety, depression, self-harm, and relationship difficulties, as well as struggles in professional performance. In her therapy practice, Jackie cultivates a safe and nonjudgmental environment where clients can openly discuss their challenges and explore pathways to improvement. As a trained EMDR therapist, she focuses on guiding both couples and individuals as they navigate PTSD and depressive disorders, while also addressing issues related to anxiety, self-esteem, life transitions, and relationships. Together with her clients, Jackie strives to enhance self-worth, foster healthy relationships, and facilitate healing from past traumas. Her ultimate goal is to establish a trusting therapeutic relationship that nurtures the development of coping skills, reduces triggers and undesired behaviors, and strengthens clients' abilities to manage life's stressors and enrich their relationships.
