JACQUELYN MEISSNER, LMFT

Life can get very complicated at times. My commitment to you is to provide a supportive place for us to collaboratively explore the challenges you are experiencing and the areas of your life you wish to change.

If you are struggling to come to terms with your past, or feel like something is holding you back from living your best life, I invite you to explore this from a place of curiosity, without judgment. As a bilingual and bicultural therapist, I strive to support individuals, couples and families who are going through difficult situations in life.

My areas of specialty include managing interpersonal conflict, loss, divorce, trust issues, chronic illness, depression, trauma, anxiety, substance abuse, and other life stressors that can be overwhelming. I am here to support you on your journey to reestablish a connection with yourself. My services are offered in both English and Spanish.

I can also provide telethealth for secure online sessions or in person ecotherapy appointments in nature.
