Jackie zebrowski MA, LMFT
Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
Clinical Supervisor
I specialize in strengthening relationships, which includes the one you have with yourself. I provide a safe space for you to explore past trauma, share vulnerable emotional experiences, and identify barriers to your success. I believe you are the expert in your own life and my role is to help facilitate the changes you want to make.
One style of therapy does not work for everyone; therefore I integrate different approaches to best serve you. My strengths-based approach incorporates your past successes, strengths, resources, and hopes for the future. Together we will co-create goals to improve your emotional and mental well being as you see fit. I am passionate about the work I do to help individuals, couples, and families create the lives they desire.
