About Dr. Jackson –
Thank you for giving me the opportunity to introduce myself. I am a clinical psychologist who takes pride in conducting therapy in an active, goal-oriented, and collaborative manner. I will strive to keep you motivated and engaged in every step of the dynamic therapy process as I truly believe that you are the expert on your life. My goal is to help you develop and use your inner resources to take the leading role in reaching your goals and creating the life you desire. I specialize in eating disorders, body image concerns, anxiety and stress management.
I predominantly use a cognitive behavioral approach which guides you in exploring how your thoughts/beliefs, feelings and behaviors work together to determine your life experiences. Together, we will identify destructive patterns of thoughts and behaviors that impact on your eating and weight management issues. We will work together to replace them with constructive and self-affirming ways of thinking and behaving.
I approach therapy from a holistic health perspective and will incorporatestrategies that promote the integration of your psychological, emotional, physical, and spiritual health, often including relaxation and meditation techniques in treatment.
Therapy is your opportunity to make changes in your life happen! I call my practice “Tranquil Haven” because it will serve as your own private retreat for psychological growth!
