"If you are going to clean the house, you have to see the dirt."…read more - Louise Hay In November 2017, I was seeking an EFT Practitioner and came across Jackie's listing on Yelp. Our free phone consultation sold me based on her friendliness, compassion, and knowledge of this therapeutic technique that I've casually dabbled in since 2016. I instantly purchased several sessions. Back when I first started working with her, she was helping me with stress and anxiety. Because I had such impactful, life-changing, and lasting results, I reached out to her again this year to help me with other challenges because I knew that Jackie would be the right person to help facilitate these shifts. I've only met Jackie virtually via Skype and Zoom. This makes it super convenient for appointments since I don't need to commute to an office and can get the most out of the EFT exercises from the comfort of my home. I like that Jackie affirms my thoughts/feelings, and often tells me she resonates with what is on my mind. It helps me release any judgments toward myself. Jackie's also my biggest cheerleader, celebrating any big shifts which occur every session. I feel very safe to feel, emote, cry, smile, and laugh during my video calls. I often feel like I overcome obstacles and achieve some state of emotional peace after our sessions. She also records parts of our sessions and sends me the audio so I can revisit and practice the exercises on my own. My most recent experience with Jackie is something I super highly recommend! I purchased a 4-session bundle which includes 8-weeks worth of recorded EFT exercises to do at home. These recordings are just as good as her video call sessions and really helpful for maintaining self-care in between video calls. I started this 4-session bundle right when the stay-at-home order started. So for me, quarantine involved a lot of much-needed self-care! :) Why do I do this instead of traditional therapy? Because even though insurance would help pay for traditional therapy, I'd prefer to invest my out-of-pocket $$$ in something that is much more effective for long-term results. There is a lot of value here. And yes, I've tried other unconventional forms of therapy. EFT works for me and maybe it will work for others too. To each their own. That said, if anyone is looking for an EFT practitioner, I'll be the first person to say, contact Jackie! She's awesome! But be warned, you gotta be willing to go deep. Like, childhood stuff. Amazing things will happen if you do.

First, let me say I really didn't know what this technique entailed when I first contacted Jackie-I…read moremight have been a little skeptical if I did. She scheduled a free 30 minute appointment to discuss both what I was looking for and what she would/could do. It sounded valuable-and I was feeling pretty hopeless-so I signed up for five sessions, which were done via Skype. I won't go into a lot of detail about tapping and how it works (ask Jackie directly!) but I can honestly say this was the best, most life changing experience I could imagine. Jackie is really supportive and gets to the real issues. To say she changed my life and saved my marriage (actually after 3 sessions) is not hyperbole. I can't thank her enough and I think that her techniques can change all aspects of your life.

As a therapist, I knew that that private practice was the right decision but I was really…read moreintimidated by the process of starting everything from scratch. Luckily I didn't have to do it alone. Working with Connor was incredibly helpful. A membership at Here Counseling works great for me by offering practical clinical support and managing the logistical operations of running a business while allowing me to focus on the work I actually care about. It also gives me a safety net. It's such a relief to know that everything isn't all on my shoulders. Admin, advertising, negotiating, these are responsibilities that I get to share with professionals I trust. You get to decide how much or how little you're involved with the business side of creating your practice. And unlike group practices where you're paying a large percentage, Here Counseling is fair and predictable. I don't feel like anyone is reaching over my shoulder to take a chunk of my paycheck. In fact, the monthly fee is only slightly more than if I was renting my own office space in DTLA, less burdensome, and much more flexible. I'm so glad to be a part of Here Counseling. It was the best financial decision I've ever made in my career. And I get to do it all while working with some really great people. Highly recommend.

I spoke to Junie first and she pushed me in a way it wasn't forced. She chose Elaine as my therapist and she is awesome. It was def nerve racking at first. I got lucky because I would hear from others that it would take several tries to find a therapist that was the right fit. Fortunately, that wasn't my case. Elaine is amazing and I always leave feeling some sort of relief and learn something new. Also, the office is close to my place so it was convenient. Although I am paying out of pocket, it's worth it compared to other unhealthy coping spending. They do provide a superbill for you in case your insurance reimburses. I highly recommend Elaine.

She got me off the medications and into a place of happiness and no anxiety. She has changed my life in so many ways and am so grateful to her. In the last year I was also dealing with a health issue the doctors were unable to diagnose and yet again Jennifer has helped me through all her wonderful ways to get through yet another block in my life. I am happy healthy and continue to see her to keep me on that path. I drove about an hour and a half to see her and when I was unable to a phone session was offered to me and that helped as well. Honestly, dont know where Id be had I not been referred to her. I refer everyone I know. She is truly an amazing healer.

I was battling some major issues with my body, my negative self talk was through the roof, my relationship with my family was not doing well, I was still holding a lot of emotional pain in my body from events in my past and I was dealing with some addiction issues as well. Jennifer helped me to turn my life around. She doesn't only help you while you're in session, but she helps you take care of yourself on your own. Her goal is to help people, but to eventually make them strong enough to self-care. I still continue to see her and she is truly one of the most incredible people I've ever met. She has such a unique and wonderful gift in the healing arts- ridding people of their physical and emotional toxins. The greatest thing about her is that she wants to teach you how to take care of yourself eventually. She's helped me tremendously at raising my baseline of well-being and reading myself better, catching things as they come up so they don't affect me as much. It's hard to describe all the different facets of her practice. I feel like she's helped me in ALL aspects of my life. Food, body image issues, relationships across the board, getting over painful events from the past, how I think and feel about the present and the future. She's an amazing healer and a heavenly human being.

After getting laid off from my…read morecorporate job of a high position, losing my girlfriend, dog and a list of other atrocities I was lost and broken in my life. I was willing to do whatever it took to get back on my feet after numerous attempts at therapy whether it was through my insurance provider or private practice. I was a bit skeptical at first about hypnotherapy and life coaching because of the heavy price tag attached but here's what happened. We had a counseling session to see what was going on in my life and how we could go about regaining my clarity and confidence. She helped me realize that there was a lot of past trauma that I had to forgive myself coupled with the bitter truth that my self-destructive tendencies may not have been my fault but is ultimately my responsibility to address. I'm not too sure if the hypnotherapy programmed my subconscious that allowed me to take more action in my life than floating around. The month after our sessions I made more progress in regaining my health by choosing healthier foods and cutting out smoking. I also found a new hobby of swing trading and opening myself up to diversifying and growing my wealth from my savings, severance check and Unemployment Benefits. I ended up doing extremely well as I was confident in my buying and selling stocks by reading trends in the market and a little bit of intuition in the tech industry. Even if I was an emotional wreck I didn't let it affect my decision making when it came to trading. After a year later I have made much more progress in my personal development and career. I ended up founding my own marketing business, travel extensively as well as go on to work for other major companies within my career field.
