Dr. Naomi Jackson, Pychological Associate

Dr. Jackson believes that good therapy can not only provide relief from psychological stress, but also help people uncover their best authentic selves so that they are better equipped and empowered to help themselves in the future. She often utilizes systemic principles to help clients understand the ways in which their relationships with others are contributing to their struggles, but she also draws upon multiple other therapeutic approaches depending on the unique needs of each client. Some of her other preferred therapeutic methods include: cognitive-behavioral therapy, humanistic and client-centered therapy, and holistic therapy.
