THERAPEUTIC ALLIANCE

it all STARTS WITH THE THERAPEUTIC RELATIONSHIP

Research indicates that 70% of therapy results depend on the relationship between the client and therapist. This means that a good client-therapist connection is crucial for clients to succeed and reach their goals.

A strong client-therapist relationship is based on trust, respect, empathy, and open communication. Trust creates a safe space for sharing, while respect ensures both parties honor boundaries and expertise. Empathy helps the therapist understand and validate the client’s experiences, fostering connection. Open communication allows for feedback and collaboration. Maintaining professional boundaries while being approachable ensures clients feel supported and empowered on their healing journey.

I feel like she genuinely cares about me as a person. Jackie is very professional and I can tell her focus is on me during my sessions. I've seen a lot of progress in myself since I've been working with Jackie. I've broken through a lot of mental blocks and traumas that were holding me back. I feel more confident and understand myself a lot more. Jackie has been a great guide for me during my healing journey!"

    -Client

  • "I've had many therapists and never truly felt like I found the right fit - until Jackie. I've made more progress with her in a few months than years with other therapists. She challenges me and pushes me to do better every session. I'm so grateful to have found her."

    -Client

  • "Jackie has been a supportive presence over multiple years working through a variety of vulnerable fears, thoughts and feelings, which she has made me feel safe and comfortable sharing every step of the way. She empowers me to do my own research on mental health topics relevant to me and makes me feel like an active participant of my mental health journey. Whether we’re meeting for maintenance and checking in or tackling challenges in my life, I leave every appointment feeling better and equipped to tackle whatever has been bothering me. The change I’ve seen in myself in the years we’ve been working together is far beyond what I could have imagined if I was handling these challenges on my own, and I am so grateful!"
