Jacqueline Machado

My clients describe me as:

My sessions are grounded in empathy and compassion. I truly welcome all parts of you and provide you the safe space needed to go through this process

Something to know about my approach is:

I use the science of being relationally, socially, and behaviorally human and regularly draw in session upon a wide range of practices. Our work is collaborative and clients can expect to actively work on skills/tools discussed outside of sessions.

Together, we will:

Talk about who you are and how you got to be who you are today so that together we can strengthen your nervous system, decrease the frequency and intensity of your symptoms and behaviors and increase a sense of connection, safety and regulation.

I specialize in working with people who:

My areas of expertise are: Adults with Trauma and Toxic Stress, Parenting Children with Intense Behaviors, Parent/Child Conflict, Attachment and Bonding, Trauma Child Abuse/Neglect, Anger and Aggression, Depression, Dysregulation, Anxiety.

I became a therapist because:

I've done my own healing of trauma and nervous system dysregulation. It is an honor to help others achieve safety, connection and regulation.

More about me and my practice:

I utilize mindfulness, attachment-based, psychoeducation and EMDR to help clients process and learn about what is keeping them stuck. I understand that safety is the treatment so my goal is to always offer safety to support your work and healing.
