Jody Ann Hakkola, a highly qualified counselor with credentials including MA, MHP, LMHC, and LMFTA, passionately believes in the fundamental principle stated by Thomas Moore: "The fundamental principle in care of the soul is that the soul needs tending. If we do not tend to things in their suffering and decay, we risk living the life of the walking dead." As a therapist, she recognizes that the therapeutic relationship is crucial to client success. Counseling is built on trust and a professional connection, transforming sessions into a co-creative journey that helps clients unlock barriers to a fulfilling life. Specializing in trauma recovery, Jody works with individuals dealing with PTSD, ADHD, co-dependence, depression, anxiety, borderline personality disorder, and narcissism, among others. Identifying the root cause of trauma allows clients to rebuild their lives and enhance their quality of existence. She understands how traumatic events and chronic stress can trigger prolonged alarm responses in the brain, altering its neurobiology. Through therapy in a safe, supportive environment, facilitated by her trauma-informed care skills, Jody enables remarkable shifts, allowing the mind, body, and heart to feel secure once again and reclaim what was lost.
