Jackie Dernek, LPC

I have a strong educational background and extensive experience in counseling, working with adults, the elderly, and children from diverse populations. I have gained a wealth of knowledge and practice in caring for others in a professional therapeutic capacity. I am compassionate, diligent, and motivated to support the well-being of each client I work with. My central focus is always client-focused and client driven. I do not believe that there is a one size fits all treatment. I cater to each client's needs based on the individual. Everyone I see has a unique story and a unique life experience, and that’s what I work with. Treating the person, not their diagnosis, is my expertise. I find it of the utmost importance to make strong connections and build a steady and consistent therapeutic relationship in order for the person to feel safe enough to make the progress they want to make in therapy.
