Jacqueline Childs, MA, AMFT

Associate Therapist

Jacqueline has a warm, compassionate, and positive approach to therapy helping her clients feel safe and at ease when addressing their concerns. She understands that taking the first step in seeking help may feel scary or uncomfortable, so she meets her clients where they are at in their journey for change and exploration. Jacqueline believes that all people are part of a bigger system that may be impacting their current situation, so in therapy she explores biological, psychological, social, and spiritual components. Through her clinical experiences working in multiple community agencies, she has helped many unique individuals and families work toward their therapeutic goals by helping them identify the origin of their struggles, provide user friendly interventions, and allow space to feel their emotions. Jacqueline’s clients have enjoyed her optimistic and devoted presence when working through their most vulnerable moments.
