Trauma & Intensive Therapy for Women in Ooltewah, TN
& online throughout Tennessee, Colorado, & Florida
I’m so glad you’ve found your way here.
You’ve always been the capable one — the one people count on.
At work, you get things done. At home, you hold everything together.
You anticipate needs before they’re spoken. You keep the peace. You keep it together.
But lately, it feels like you’re running on fumes.
You’re exhausted, anxious, and stretched too thin.
You replay conversations in your head, apologize for taking up space, and keep wondering why you still feel like something’s wrong when you’ve done everything “right.”
You’re tired of carrying the mental load for everyone around you.
You want to rest, but your brain doesn’t know how to stop.
You care deeply, but sometimes that means you forget yourself.
You’re smart, insightful, maybe even the “therapist friend.”
You’ve read the books, listened to the podcasts, and done the work.
But what no one sees is how hard you’re trying to keep it all from falling apart.
You might have a hunch that your brain works differently — maybe ADHD, maybe autism — and that’s shaped how you’ve learned to survive.
Or maybe you grew up in a home or religion that taught you to earn love by being good, quiet, or useful.
Maybe you’ve learned to mask so well that even the people closest to you have no idea how hard it is to hold it all.
Now you’re realizing that survival mode has an expiration date.
You’re ready to stop people-pleasing, stop apologizing for existing, and start understanding yourself in a way that feels like freedom.
Therapy with me isn’t one-size-fits-all. It’s flexible, creative, and deeply customized to how your mind and nervous system work.
You don’t need to fit a mold — we’ll build something that fits you.
This isn’t one-size-fits-all therapy.
It’s deeply personalized, trauma-informed, and neurodivergent-affirming care for women who’ve tried everything and are ready for something that actually works.
Together, we’ll:
untangle the beliefs that keep you stuck in over-functioning, guilt, and self-doubt.
learn how your brain and body respond to stress, burnout, and trauma.
build systems and boundaries that actually fit your life.
reconnect you to the parts of yourself you had to leave behind to survive.
We’ll use flexible, evidence-based methods like Brainspotting, Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), and Neurofeedback — approaches designed to help your nervous system heal at the root, not just talk about the surface symptoms.
And because you deserve therapy that adapts to you, I offer both weekly or biweekly sessions and therapy intensives that work around your life, not against it.
"When we deny our stories, they define us. When we own our stories, we get to write a brave new ending.” -Brené Brown
For years, you’ve worked hard to show up perfectly for everyone else—at work, in relationships, in family roles. But inside, it feels like you’re always one misstep away from falling apart.
You replay conversations, wondering what you should have said differently.
You feel like you’re on stage, constantly performing to keep others happy.
You find yourself repeating the same hurtful relationship patterns.
You worry something’s wrong with you—that no one truly sees how hard you’re struggling.
Whether it’s the weight of childhood trauma, the lingering impact of relationship abuse, the confusion after leaving a high-control religious environment, or the exhaustion of trying to navigate life as a neurodivergent woman in a world that doesn’t always make room for you—there’s a common thread:
You want to feel safe, confident, and connected—without the constant fear, doubt, and overthinking.
Hi, I’m Jacqueline.
Therapist. Overthinker. Recovering perfectionist.
We’ll build something that fits your pace, your wiring, and your real life — whether that’s traditional weekly therapy or immersive therapy intensives that help you make deep progress faster.
I’m not a “stuffy, sit-back-and-nod” therapist. I also won’t just validate you without giving you the tools to grow. Validation is important, yes—but I believe therapy should be more. In sessions with me, I will:
Challenge you and call you out (with compassion).
Teach you skills and strategies that actually stick.
Help you explore the uncomfortable topics—trauma, sex, money, power, privilege, identity—without judgment.
Use humor when needed, because sometimes laughter is the only way to open the door to the hard stuff.
I show up as my authentic self because I know trust, safety, and connection are the foundation of healing.
I also bring a special focus in working with neurodivergent clients, LGBTQIA+ clients, and survivors of high-control religious systems, alongside women healing from trauma in relationships, families, and careers.
My approach is built for women who…
are insightful and self-aware but still feel stuck
have done the work before and need something that actually clicks
want therapy that’s high-touch, individualized, and efficient
crave emotional depth and nervous system healing — not surface-level advice
Because healing shouldn’t feel like another thing you have to perform.
It should feel like coming home to yourself.
Someone who understands what it’s like to look “fine” while quietly falling apart.
I’m a trauma and neurodivergence-informed therapist who helps high-achieving women heal what’s underneath the burnout, people-pleasing, and self-doubt.
I built Wild Oaks Counseling for women who’ve spent their lives earning love through effort — the ones who show up, hold it all together, and rarely feel seen for the full, complicated humans they are.
In therapy, I combine trauma-focused, body-based modalities like Brainspotting, Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), and Neurofeedback with a warm, relational approach that’s deeply attuned to how your brain and nervous system work.
This isn’t about “coping better.” It’s about learning to exist differently — with more safety, freedom, and self-trust.
I believe therapy should feel customized, not clinical.
You don’t need another worksheet or “just think positive” plan.
You need someone who can see what’s beneath the symptoms — the trauma, the masking, the relentless self-pressure — and help you untangle it with compassion, not judgment.
My approach is integrative and fully customized to your story.
This is therapy for women who want transformation, not checklists.
You’ll feel at home here if you:
look high-functioning on the outside but feel like you’re quietly unraveling inside
are exhausted from earning love through doing, fixing, and giving
crave rest but can’t stop the mental to-do list
are deconstructing old beliefs about yourself, your faith, or your worth
are beginning to understand your ADHD, autism, or experience in a new light
want healthier, more reciprocal relationships — without losing yourself in them
are ready to stop performing strength and start practicing self-trust
Therapy isn’t about fixing you — it’s about helping you finally see yourself clearly.
You’ve spent your life being everything for everyone else.
Now it’s your turn to be known, supported, and free.
My Specialties & Modalities
Individual Trauma Therapy
You may hesitate to even call it “trauma.” After all, you’ve built a good life, achieved a lot, and from the outside, you look successful. But inside, it often feels different. Maybe your childhood was marked by emotional distance, high expectations, or experiences you’d never want anyone else to go through. Maybe past relationships left you questioning your worth, your judgment, or your ability to trust.
You find yourself worrying constantly, second-guessing decisions, struggling to feel confident, or replaying conversations long after they’re over. Trauma therapy can help you reconnect with yourself, quiet the self-doubt, and begin creating relationships where you feel safe, secure, and deeply seen.
These sessions are offered in a traditional therapy format on an ongoing basis.
Trauma Therapy Intensives
Traditional weekly therapy has its place, but for many high-achieving women, busy moms, and professionals, it can feel slow, fragmented, or like “just another appointment.” That’s why I offer trauma therapy intensives—customized, extended sessions designed to help you go deeper, faster.
Intensives are longer sessions (typically 3+ hours over 1–3 days) with a focused, intentional goal. They’re especially effective for healing specific traumas, breaking through plateaus when you feel stuck in weekly therapy, or jumpstarting your growth with a strong foundation of skills and insight.
Instead of spending months circling the same patterns, you’ll have the time and space to fully process, release, and reset—so you can move forward with clarity and confidence.
-
Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART)
ART uses gentle eye movements and visualization to help your brain release stored trauma quickly and effectively. Many clients notice significant relief in just 1–3 sessions, making it a powerful tool for resolving painful memories and shifting negative beliefs.
-
Brainspotting (BSP)
Brainspotting uses the connection between your gaze and your nervous system to access and heal trauma at a deep level. By focusing on specific eye positions, your brain and body are able to process unresolved experiences in a way that feels natural and profound.
-
Neurofeedback
Neurofeedback helps retrain your brain to regulate itself. By receiving real-time feedback, your brain learns to spend more time in calm, focused, and balanced states—so regulation becomes your default rather than the exception.
-
Enneagram
The Enneagram is an insightful framework for understanding your core motivations, fears, and adaptations. It can help you recognize patterns that no longer serve you, deepen self-awareness, and create more authentic connections with others.
Therapy Options - Frequency & Location
