Jackie is extremely approachable, I feel seen and heard by her. Her feedback is helpful. I’ve used other therapist with BetterHelp & regain, Jackie is the best by far. I’ve recommended friends to her as well and they too have had positive experiences. 10/10!

I really appreciate Jacki's approach. She's not afraid to roll up her sleeves and dive into any issue with you. And like that she will call it like she sees it. She's not going to coddle and feed any "woe is me" attitudes - she's going to help keep you accountable for your emotional well being.
