Jackie Terry, MSW-I

A welcoming, nonjudgmental space. My counseling approach is grounded in empathy, active listening, and a deep belief in each person’s resilience. I strive to create a welcoming, nonjudgmental environment where clients feel safe to explore their experiences and move toward the life they want to build. I view therapy as a collaborative space where clients are honored as the experts of their own stories and supported in making meaning of life’s challenges and transitions.

A sacred privilege to be invited in. My own life experiences have shaped my understanding of growth, adversity, and healing, and I value the insight they bring to my work. I feel it is a sacred privilege to be invited into someone’s personal journey, and I honor that space with deep respect and care. I bring warmth, humor, curiosity, and respect to every session and look forward to partnering with clients as they navigate growth, healing, and self-discovery.

A nontraditional path to social work. I am a Master of Social Work intern who returned to school in 2024 as a nontraditional student, driven by my commitment to helping individuals create meaningful and lasting change in their lives. I am known for my genuine care, calming presence, and deep compassion for the people, animals, and the natural world.

Training and approach. I use an approach that blends CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), ACT (Acceptance & Commitment Therapy), DBT (Dialectical Behavioral Therapy), MI (Motivational Interviewing), and principles from Internal Family Systems (IFS).

Schools and aging adults. I have experience as a School Social Worker in the Davis School District, where I gained an appreciation for supporting young people. I also have several years of experience working with and advocating for the aging population.
