Jacqualine Polydoros

Hi! My name is Jackee and I appreciate you checking out my page today. I am a mental health therapist in Maryland and I am offering virtual services so that you can engage in quality mental health from the comfort of home.

I earned my master's degree in clinical counseling from Hood College. My bachelor's level education comes from Penn State (We Are!) which include three degrees; sociology, criminology and rehabilitation and human services. I have a variety of human service experience. My work history includes early childhood education, inpatient mental health and crisis prevention, behavioral interventions for people with autism, advocate at a domestic violence shelter and completing an internship at a residential level substance use treatment program.

Outside of my clinical work I enjoy spending time with my family and finding new things to do on the weekends, whether it be a concert or going to the fair. I have two fur babies named Albus and Minerva. I love them to pieces! I love talking about movies, travel and history. The mantra I live by is to give myself grace. It was shared with me and I share it with others as I recognize that we all could benefit from being more patient with ourselves. We all are only living this life for the first time.

I take a person-centered approach, adjusting modalities depending on what you may need. Life comes with many challenges and I believe that what we need one day, may not be what we need the next. I'll adjust with you as needed to provide the best support possible.

I aim to provide comfort and ease as I introduce you to the therapeutic process. Our first session together will include reviewing need-to-know information, policies and various questions that will help me get to know you. Together we will decide where to go from there to get you closer to living a life that feels authentic to you.
