Wintersville, OH Local Support & Community Resources

Dr. Emily Jackson is a dedicated psychologist who believes that individuals often find themselves caught in unhelpful patterns of relating to themselves, others, and the world. These patterns, which once provided comfort, may now hinder personal growth and emotional well-being. At times, clients may feel a sense of uncertainty, unsure of where they may have veered off course, or even trapped in a seemingly endless darkness. In these challenging moments, reaching out for support can be daunting, yet it is a vital step toward healing. Dr. Jackson views it as a privilege to accompany her clients on their journeys through life. She understands the therapeutic relationship to be a cornerstone of healing and is committed to creating an environment where clients feel truly understood and supported, while also being challenged in meaningful ways. In today’s fast-paced and superficial world, her approach offers a unique and valuable experience. Dr. Jackson's work involves helping clients uncover the underlying factors contributing to their challenges and understanding who they are at their core. Through this awareness, clients can unlock the freedom to lead more intentional and fulfilling lives. While she employs symptom-focused interventions when necessary, her conviction is that this deeper exploration fosters longer-lasting, transformative change. Dr. Jackson specializes in supporting teens, adults, and elders, addressing issues such as depression, anxiety, and relationship concerns through a culturally sensitive, humanistic, and integrative therapeutic approach.
