Jasmine Jackson

Jasmine Jackson

Therapist

Virtual • New York


I believe feelings aren't obstacles to manage they're signals worth understanding. For over five years, I've worked alongside people who are quietly exhausted: carrying anxiety, sitting with grief, untangling patterns in their relationships, or navigating a life that no longer fits who they're becoming. My clients often describe our sessions as the first place they've felt truly heard without needing to perform strength or explain away their emotions. I work with individuals and couples across New York, New Jersey, and Florida via telehealth, with evening, morning, and weekend availability, so quality care doesn't have to be another thing to schedule around. I accept Aetna, BCBS, Cigna, Anthem, Empire, and other major plans. You don't have to have everything figured out before reaching out we can start exactly where you are.
