Jacquelyn "Jackie" Taylor-Mays

Jackie writes plainly and keeps work focused on real-life steps. She emphasizes a strengths-based view and believes clients know their stories best.

Clients meet a therapist who offers steady support and clear guidance. Jackie helps people sort priorities, build coping skills, and gain momentum when motivation is low.

She uses straightforward conversations to identify small changes that add up over time. Sessions aim to turn stuck patterns into workable routines.

Her background includes a mix of clinical and community work over two decades. That experience informs how she helps with grief, trauma and abuse, parenting strain, and compassion fatigue.

Jackie also addresses issues like sleep, eating, chronic health challenges, and caregiving stress. She brings practical tools for mood disorders such as depression and bipolar concerns.

Jackie draws on several therapy approaches to fit the person in front of her. That includes client-centered work that follows a person’s pace, attachment-based ideas to improve close bonds, and methods used for relationship skills like the Gottman Method.

She adapts strategies such as cognitive behavioral and emotionally-focused techniques when they fit the goal. People who value clear steps, honest conversation, and collaborative problem solving tend to find her approach helpful.

Jackie supports clients as they try new ways of coping, set realistic goals, and work toward a more fulfilling daily life.
