Jacqueline holds a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and has two years of experience. She is a southern girl at heart, originally from North Carolina. Her military family was given the assignment to move to Minnesota five years ago, from Georgia. Being a part of the military her entire life, she has been exposed to various cultures and customs that have allowed her to appreciate people’s similarities and differences. Jacqueline believes that taking care of our mental wellness is one of the most courageous and important things an individual can do for themselves and she is honored to be a part of her clients’ healing journeys. Jacqueline enjoys working with individuals and couples, particularly those who are experiencing or have experienced trauma, anxiety, and depression.

Maddie has an MA in counseling psychology from the University of Minnesota, and three years of experience focusing on young-adult mental health. Maddie uses a trauma-informed approach and has a passion for working through complex trauma and the “deep, dark spaces” of life. Maddie also has a huge passion for working with people with borderline personality disorder, and people who feel all of life’s ups and downs very intensely. She has lots of experience with DBT. Before becoming a therapist, Maddie earned a law degree and thought she wanted to be a lawyer before realizing that mental health was a much better fit. Because of this experience, Maddie enjoys working with folks who are having trouble finding their passion in life, and take a less-traditional approach to career. Maddie comes from a Latinx background and also enjoys working with clients who are trying to navigate cultural and ethnic identity.
