If you want someone who will be straight with you — you're in the right place.

I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with 5 years of experience working with adults navigating trauma, anxiety, and depression. I bring honesty, clarity, and genuine compassion to every session. That means I won't sugarcoat what I see, I won't tell you what you want to hear just to make you comfortable, and I won't let you stay stuck when I can see a way forward.

What I will do is show up fully, tell you the truth, and work hard alongside you.

Have you been feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or struggling to manage day-to-day stressors? Whether you are navigating anxiety, depression, or relationship issues, you are not alone. Together, we will create a safe space to help you reclaim your sense of self. We will work together to process your experiences without judgment, focusing on the practical tools and internal confidence you need to move forward on your own terms.

Many people come to therapy not because something is "wrong" with them, but because they're ready for something different. I believe that most people who seek support aren't broken, they're brave. They've decided that something needs to shift, and they're willing to do the work to get there.

Whether you're navigating past trauma, breaking patterns that no longer serve you, or working through negative self-talk, you don't have to figure it out alone.

I'm Joanna Saint Jacques, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with experience working with children and adults across a range of life experiences. My approach is warm, direct, and deeply collaborative. We work together to explore what's holding you back and create space for real, lasting change.
