Great to meet you!

Hi, I’m Andrea Jackson, LICSW, LCSW, PMH-C. I’m a warm, collaborative therapist who believes you shouldn’t have to navigate difficult seasons of life alone.

I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and loss, major life transitions, and perinatal mental health concerns. I’m especially passionate about supporting women and individuals navigating the emotional changes that can come with pregnancy, postpartum, relationships, identity, and other major life transitions.

My approach is tailored to you. I draw from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), and trauma-informed and somatic approaches. Rather than simply focusing on symptoms, I want to understand your experiences, what matters most to you, and what you hope will be different through therapy.

Our work may include developing practical coping strategies, processing difficult experiences, building self-compassion, setting boundaries, understanding patterns, or reconnecting with the parts of life that feel meaningful to you.

My goal is to create a space where you feel heard, respected, and comfortable being yourself while working toward meaningful, lasting change.

My approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to your unique needs and goals. I draw from evidence-based practices including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), and trauma-informed approaches to help clients better understand their experiences, develop practical coping skills, and create meaningful change. I believe therapy is a space for healing, self-discovery, and growth, where we work together to identify strengths, navigate challenges, process difficult experiences, and move toward a life that feels more aligned with your values.

What you can expect from me

In our work together, you can expect compassion, honesty, collaboration, and practical support. During our first sessions, we'll identify your goals, explore what has brought you to therapy, and create a treatment plan that feels realistic and meaningful to you. Therapy is not about having all the answers, it's about creating space to explore, heal, and grow.
