My name is Jacquita White, and I hold a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I am currently working toward full licensure while providing compassionate, client-centered care under supervision. I work with preteens, adolescents, and adults who may be navigating stress, life transitions, anxiety, relationship challenges, or emotional overwhelm. My goal is to create a supportive space where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered as they work toward meaningful change and personal growth.

My approach to therapy is warm, supportive, and collaborative. I use Cognitive Behavioral therapy, Dialectical Behavior therapy, and Person-Centered therapy to help clients manage anxiety, stress, and life transitions while building healthier coping skills, emotional balance, and greater self-awareness.

Reaching out for support can feel like a big step, but you do not have to navigate life’s challenges alone. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive environment where you feel heard and understood. If you are ready to begin your healing journey, I would be honored to walk alongside you.
