Therapist

Virtual • Connecticut


My name is Jackson and I am a transgender man working as a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Connecticut. I specialize in working with the LGBT+ community and those with complex trauma. Other topics relevant to my experience include crisis/suicidality, HIV, homelessness, substance use/addiction, harm reduction, and neurodivergence.

I also offer consultation sessions for mental health letters of support for gender affirming care (hormone therapy, surgery, hair removal, etc). I use WPATH standards of care to assess your situation and will provide a letter of support and/or help you to create a plan for further support if we identify any concerns. Keep in mind different doctors/insurances/states have differing laws regarding these letters and I may need to do research prior to writing your letter to ensure we do so correctly.

Therapist

Hi, y'all,

I bring 17 years of experience and believe firmly that nothing shifts in the therapeutic space unless clients feel seen and connected to their clinician.

I am warm and direct, personable and challenging. I move through my life with curiosity and wonder at the natural world and the power of relationships.

I love swimming in fresh water, non-fiction books, spending time with my teenagers and hanging out in my gardens. I specialize in sexual and gender identity and look forward to building relationships with people that are motivated to move forward, begin healing and expanding their world.

I am a licensed professional counselor and art therapist. I am a psychotherapist, solution-focused, person-centered, and mindful. I use a heart-centered approach and at times may use art and imagination in working with you. I look forward to working together to create a plan in order to reach your goal(s). By asking questions about what they would like to accomplish. Then providing or suggesting several options that are specific to their needs. I may suggest homework, worksheets, journaling, or art. Finally, work together to find the best solution and work on the most important goal first.
