Tatyana Jackson

Welcome, and thank you for stopping by! My name is Tatyana Jackson, I am from Brooklyn, NY and identify as an African American female, pronouns she/her. I received my Bachelors Degree in Psychology from UNC-Greensboro and my MA in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at the University of San Diego in May of 2020. I have been practicing my clinical skills for four years, serving children, teens, adults, and the geriatric community. My primary focus is on depression, anxiety, anger management, and practicing effective coping strategies to manage emotional distress. As an active advocate for mental wellness, I aim to improve emotional functioning by reducing daily life stressors often related to, life transitions, work, and relationships. Through my eclectic approaches, I aim to challenge my clients while being cognizant of their needs and emotional state. Of course, this is an inclusive, non-judgmental, safe space for anyone seeking clinical support, and I am happy to assist!

My approach to therapeutic services is primarily eclectic, emphasizing cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectic behavioral techniques, solution focused, relaxation techniques, and a client centered approach.

During the initial session, we will focus on building rapport prior to completing the initial psychiatric evaluation. Building rapport can include me providing background information about myself, and of course, my clients asking any questions they may feel is necessary to gain insight about my clinical approach. Next, we would focus on identifying your goals for seeking therapy and prior experiences (if any). The evaluation is typically standard, focusing on history, challenges, and completing any necessary assessments.
