Hi, I’m Jen Ackerson, a Pennsylvania licensed professional counselor, art therapist, and clinical supervisor with over 10 years of experience in substance use and mental health treatment. I specialize in working with adults navigating attachment, trauma, and life transitions.
I have a background in art therapy, supervision, and counselor education. Beyond my clinical work, I supervise emerging counselors, teach at the graduate level, and my research explores the intersections of creativity, autonomy, and healing in counseling and supervision.
I believe in the transformative power of understanding and embracing our personal narratives as a courageous step towards acceptance and healing. I have dedicated my career to supporting youth and their families through a trauma-informed lens. In all aspects of my life, my passion converges to drive positive change, amplify voices, and celebrate the beauty of human expression.
