My name is Rachael Jackson, MSW, LCSW. I'm Your local Psychotherapist - Here to Guide You In Your Healing Process. Are you struggling with issues related to trauma, grief, addiction, anxiety, or major life changes? There comes a time when we need some help from a professional to help cope with many of life’s challenges. I’m a Psychotherapist in the greater Portland metro area, and I’d love to help you on your journey toward healing and self-discovery. Life can be overwhelming and sometimes even exhausting, but I’m here to guide you through any obstacles you may face. My goal is to help you understand yourself more deeply and better cope with change. I implement effective psychotherapy methods to instill self-understanding among clients and encourage them to adopt new attitudes and feelings towards life situations. It is essential to keep in mind that therapy is a healing process that necessitates participation and investment from the client and caretaker alike. But in the end, making small changes to self-defeating behavior and coping with feelings of sadness, fear, and pain can bring life-altering results. “Not everything that is faced can be changed. But nothing can be changed until it is faced,” wrote the late James Baldwin.
