Hi, I am Jackie If you are taking the time to read my profile that means that you have made the decision to get some support for yourself or someone you love. Pat yourself on the back, taking the first step is the most difficult and you have just done that. I have been a social worker for over 20 years in the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania area. I earned my BSW in 2001 from LaSalle University and my MSW in 2004 from Temple University. I obtained my LSW license in 2007 and my LCSW license in 2010. I have worked in the home, community, school, and in-patient hospital settings. I enjoy working with diverse groups of clients. I pride myself on providing individual and strengths based clinical support to my clients. I use humor, honesty, and radical acceptance in the work I do with my clients. I use a blend of therapeutic styles based on the individual needs of my client. I do use self -disclosure about my own trauma if I feel that it is beneficial to my client and the work we are doing together. Establishing and building rapport is paramount to any working relationship. I am easy to establish rapport with and am very outgoing. I am passionate about the work that I do and that shows through during sessions with my clients. I believe that every person deserves to be accepted, celebrated, and loved for who they are. I believe that my purpose as a social worker is to partner and support my clients in becoming the best versions of themselves. I am a childhood sexual abuse survivor, a domestic violence survivor, a date rape survivor, and a spiritual gangsta. I am also a mother of 5 children ( 3 human and 2 canine), a wife, a daughter, a sister, an Aunt, a friend, and a step daughter. I wear many different hats, just like my clients do. :) I look forward to connecting with you soon.

I began my company, "Color of Change: Healing and Hope Counseling," because let's face it, today, the world is moving at a rapid pace, often leaving individuals spinning with less time to breathe or practice self-care and self-reflection, or addressing their personal, family, marital, and spiritual needs. You can be provided with direction and clarity to slow life's experiences, allowing you to focus on your individual needs and those within your support system or sphere of influence. The world is unrecognizable and unsettling to many, and adjusting has become challenging to navigate and adapt to the fast, complicated, and radical internal and external changes. The role of a therapist is to help you find yourself and your strengths amid life's emotional, psychological, relational, spiritual, and physical challenges. As you partner with your therapist, you embark on a path to thrive in the face of changes and difficulties.
