Jacquelyn Kirby, ms, lpc-S, NCC
owner / Licensed Professional Counselor – Supervisor
“Sometimes people with the worst pasts end up creating the best futures. It is my goal as a therapist to help you reach that future. We all have struggles, failures, and regrets. The acknowledgement of having these battles is the greatest step forward. No matter what obstacles you bring to my office, you can expect to be met with non-judgement, compassion, professionalism, and authenticity. I believe that a solid and honest therapeutic relationship is the foundation for positive growth and change.”
