I am in the helping profession to use my wisdom, talents, experiences, and education to help guide you so you can get to where you want to be. I am empathetic, compassionate, present, direct, and sometimes witty!

I was born to do the work I do! I seek and find my work/life balance by enjoying travel, cooking, light gardening, maintaining meaningful connections with those I love, hiking, and reading.

As a relational, healing-centered psychotherapist, I work to help my clients discover their own guiding voice, to listen with intent, and to cultivate love and acceptance of their truest nature. In my work with adults, issues like sexuality, spirituality, existentialism, unconscious belief systems, family and partnership, and many more of life's great challenges guide the work of self-exploration.

Are you overwhelmed, having difficulty functioning, or just feeling unlike yourself lately? As someone who was born in Nigeria and has personally navigated cultural adjustment and its stressors, I understand how complex it can feel to find your footing. Drawing on both my lived experience and professional training, I meet you where you are and tailor our work to your unique needs. I use tools like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and motivational interviewing to help you create meaningful, lasting change.

You don’t have to navigate anxiety, depression, or difficult seasons of life on your own. Our work will create space to better understand what you’re experiencing while also considering how relationships, family dynamics, loss, identity, past experiences, and other life stressors may be connected to what you’re going through. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed by persistent worry or sadness, working through relationship or family challenges, processing grief, or trying to make sense of experiences that have affected how you see yourself, we’ll work together to build greater understanding, emotional balance, and a stronger sense of direction.

Jacqueline Hopkins is a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 20 years of extensive counseling experience. Special interest in working with clients who have difficulties with depression, anxiety, self esteem, ADHD, stress, and pain management.

I work with teens and adults of all ages navigating anxiety, depression, grief, and mood disorders. I also have experience supporting individuals with intellectual challenges, severe and persistent mental illness, and people facing significant life transitions. My goal is to create a safe, grounded space where each person feels seen, supported, and empowered.

I am also well‐versed in Christian Counseling and can integrate faith‐based perspectives into therapy when desired. Whether you prefer a spiritually informed framework or a more traditional clinical approach, I honor your values and support you in a way that feels aligned with your identity and beliefs.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT). I graduated from Lehigh University with a Bachelor of Arts with a double major in Social Psychology and Social Relations while at the same time obtaining an undergraduate Certification in Social Work from Moravian College. In 2007, I returned to school and, in 2009, received a Master of Science in Marriage and Family from Valdosta State University. I have been a therapist for more than 15 years.

I specialize in helping couples and adults navigate relationship challenges, cultural differences, and major life transitions. My work is especially focused on couples who feel disconnected, stuck in recurring conflict, or unsure how to rebuild trust and emotional closeness. As a Level 3 Gottman Method-trained therapist, I help partners understand their patterns, communicate more effectively, and create a stronger relationship. I also support individuals balancing career, family, cultural adjustment, and the demands of a new chapter.
