Andrea Jackson

Hi, I’m Andrea Jackson, LICSW, LCSW, PMH-C.

I help high-achieving adults, professionals, and parents break out of constant survival mode, process relational trauma, and navigate massive identity upheavals.

On the outside, you likely look like the person who has everything completely handled. But on the inside, you may be quietly white-knuckle coping through chronic overthinking, severe boundary exhaustion, or a persistent low-level dread that rest simply cannot fix. Whether you are stepping into the profound identity shift of parenthood, breaking free from painful family-of-origin patterns, or navigating a massive life transition that has left you feeling completely untethered, you do not have to perform your life alone.

Holding advanced certification in Perinatal Mental Health (PMH-C) and specializing in advanced trauma recovery, my goal is to create a secure, collaborative space where you can lay down your armor, filter out external noise, and build an authentic life driven by clarity, boundaries, and your core values. Bring the anxiety, the exhaustion, the love, and the confusion—let's take the first step forward together.

My approach is active, collaborative, and responsive. We will work as a team to uncover what is overloading your system and implement strategies that realistically fit your daily life.

Rather than using a one-size-fits-all formula, I blend evidence-based methods tailored to your unique history and goals:

• Trauma-Informed CBT: Safely identifying and breaking down the harsh self-criticism, perfectionistic thought traps, and painful subconscious beliefs born from past difficult experiences.
• Somatic & Mind-Body Anchoring: Calming an overloaded nervous system to help your body shift out of an exhausting fight-or-flight survival mode so you can access genuine rest.
• Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT): Clearing away external family or societal noise and reducing the struggle against your anxious thoughts so you can make confident choices aligned with your values.

I want you to leave our sessions equipped with a profound understanding of your internal patterns, practical tools you can actually use under pressure, and clarity on your path forward.

Your first session is a low-pressure, collaborative space designed to help us connect and begin mapping out your path forward. We will look beyond surface-level symptoms to explore what you are currently navigating, clarify what you hope will be structurally different in your life, and identify the root patterns you want to transform.

While we will explore your current concerns and relevant personal history, you are always in the driver’s seat—we will focus strictly on what feels most urgent and important to you. Together, we will begin outlining clear, personalized goals for our work and discuss the exact therapeutic methods that will bring you the most sustainable relief.

You don’t need to have everything figured out before we meet. You can simply come as you are, and we’ll take it from there.
