Tissan Jackson

Greetings! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 16 years in the field. I enjoy working with clients of all ages to help them achieve their goals and start smiling again.

My journey to becoming a therapist started after tragedy. My original plan was to become a nurse. Still in the helping field but not to this degree. This journey has led me to finding my calling by becoming empathetic and genuine with everyone I meet. We all have a story to tell, and this journey allows me the opportunity to help you rediscover the best version of yourself.

My approach to therapy is client-centered. You are the driver. I specialize in working with clients who have experienced trauma and/or grief using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Strength-based approaches.

My communication style is open and inviting. I want my clients to feel and know that this is a judgement free zone. I will listen with both understanding and empathy. Always with the premise not what’s wrong with you but what happened to you.

My goal for you is to collaborate with you and get you to a point where you no longer need my help. This occurs by building a trusting relationship with mutual respect and boundaries. Over time, you’ll learn new skills and strategies to accomplish the goals that have been set.

Our first session will include me asking questions about your feelings, what led you to therapy, goals, history, and your successes. It’s about us building rapport and understanding. I cannot guarantee that this experience will not be challenging, but I can say if you’re willing to stick it out, it will be worth it in the end.
