Jacquelyn Paslay

Hello, I’m Jackie – a Clinical Mental Health Therapist committed to transforming lives with empathy, expertise, and a vision for lasting change. In my practice, I firmly believe that the cornerstone of meaningful growth and healing lies in a strong, authentic therapeutic relationship. I am devoted to creating a space where you feel seen, heard, and valued – a sanctuary of warmth, safety, and acceptance where your truest self can emerge, thrive, and ultimately begin your path of living as your fullest self. I take an integrative approach to therapy, drawing from a diverse range of evidence-based modalities to craft a personalized path that meets your unique needs. My specialties include supporting adults of all ages as they navigate anxiety, depression, significant life transitions, and the intricate challenges of chronic health and pain management. Together, we will delve beyond the surface to uncover profound insights, reframe challenges, and cultivate the skills needed to rewrite the narrative of your life. My mission is to empower you to break through barriers, align your life with your core values, and embrace a future defined by resilience, purpose, and fulfillment. Whether you are taking the courageous first step toward seeking support or building upon your ongoing mental health journey, I am here to walk with you – every step, every breakthrough --------------- Just like the human experience, no one’s journey is the same—and therapy should reflect that individuality. Recognizing that a one-size-fits-all approach rarely meets the diverse needs of each person, I have embraced an integrative therapeutic approach. Your sessions are tailored to your unique needs and who you are as a person, often blending a variety of modalities to provide the most meaningful and effective support. My therapeutic approach is rooted in connection—building a strong, trusting relationship where you feel truly heard, valued, and safe. I begin with Person-Centered Therapy, fostering a nonjudgmental space where you can be your authentic self. From there, we’ll collaborate to explore the therapeutic techniques and modalities that resonate most with you, empowering you to pursue the goals and changes that matter most in your life. I draw from a range of therapeutic tools, including, but not limited to: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help reframe negative thought patterns and build healthier thinking habits Internal Family Systems (IFS) to explore and heal parts of yourself that may feel conflicted or disconnected Narrative Therapy (NT) to help you understand and rewrite the story you’re living Motivational Interviewing to gently guide you toward the changes you want to make Mindfulness-Based Therapy to cultivate awareness and presence in your daily life Creative Arts Therapy (Art, Nature, Play) to tap into your creative self-expression and healing potential Somatic Therapy to help you reconnect with your body and its wisdom Gestalt Therapy to foster awareness and presence in the here-and-now
