I'm not usually someone who writes reviews but there was not way I couldn't write one for someone…read morewho changed my life! There was a point in my life when even getting through normal daily life felt incredibly hard. I didn't fully realize at the time how much trauma I was carrying, but it was affecting everything. Working with Jacqui ended up being one of the most important steps in helping me get my life back. Through her energy healing and trauma work, Jacquis helped me begin to process and release things I had been holding onto for years. What I appreciate most is that she doesn't just focus on easing anxiety or fears--though she absolutely helped me with those. She also helps you understand yourself more deeply and grow as a person. She creates a space where you feel safe, supported, and truly seen, which makes it possible to be honest and start healing in a real way. I'm deeply grateful for the care, patience, and insight she brings to her work. Her support made a real difference in my life, and I honestly don't know where I would be without the healing and guidance she gave me.

You don't know, until you know. Had I known the healing opportunity that exists with Jacqui, I…read morewould've taken the trust fall years ago. A lot of work...a lot of stuff....but the physical release of decades of stored "stuff" as a result of our work has been nothing short of incredible. Working with Jacqui opened a pathway to finally find truth, and the authentic "me" after decades of believing what I was taught to believe.  In seeking truth, I'm continuing to discover that I don't have to go far...everything I look for already exists inside of me.  And...all via telehealth. It works. It's working. I'm beyond grateful.

I found that sex therapy assumes husbands of female sex abuse survivors are FULLY SEXUALLY…read moreEXPERIENCED MEN. In some cases such men have for many years accommodated abuse-related sexual restrictions and prohibitions which severely curtail the couple's enjoyment of sex. And in some cases (like mine) we did not fully understand that because we both met in our late teens and had had no other partners. My limited experience also led me to assume women generally don't like sex much at all, The assumption of lots of previous experience is also odd given that they preach monogamy, secure attachment, avoiding affairs and look down on casual sex. Where are you supposed to get the "corrective" actual experience? We wasted a huge amount of time in sex therapy (total of six therapists over 25 years, (including two at Awakenings Counseling for Couples and Sex Therapy which I employed individually) where the problem was treated too much like a simple desire discrepancy, with predictable remedies of better emotional communication and candlelight dinners -- none of which ever helped our sex life. We didn't have the experience perspective to see that her childhood sexual abuse was severely curtailing our sex life. We didn't know enough to bring it up, and they weren't insightful enough to ask. If you pursue sex therapy, ask very direct questions. Do not rely on the therapist to uncover fundamental issues. Be very explicit and forthcoming. I found that many sex therapists are surprisingly shy and reluctant to sound too "pornographic", and too often wave their hands with generalities, like responding to my specific question about what women in normal relationships do with a non-answer like "oh, women are all different". Save time by first getting a basic understanding of where sex therapists are coming from. Start by reading Dr. Laurie Watson's excellent book, "Wanting Sex Again".

I thoroughly thought long & hard about leaving this review but I do feel obligated that it's…read moreimportant to share my personal experience for those who are truly looking for a counselor to take into consideration. Only 1 star for the fact my partner is actively in sessions with Amanda Walker. We had Amanda from the beginning precisely for infidelity/couples therapy. I figured few sessions in the beginning is to get to know the couple after filling out extensive survey then I soon realize our sessions rarely even contained anything infidelity related, honestly was a completely unsuccessful/non effective expensive help. She never even helped us with healthier coping mechanisms, not even exercises for us to do as a couple about our communication. I even suggest her an exercise I read from a therapist for us to follow, just for 5 days later she didn't even remember it? So what exactly were you typing the entire time? It was seriously like hiring someone to say "Yeah, Yeahhhh, ok got it, I see, I'm sorry about that, I can't imagine" but just to my partner only 100xs for $130+an hour. It started to get highly uncomfortable especially since I'm the woman and the victim of infidelity but what really made it my last straw was when she verbally called me out and berated over and over insulting labels. She defined me as something so hurtful when she didn't even care to ask me to explain all she did was heard what He said then ignorantly attacked me. I was humiliated She reacted as if she took it personal it was negligent and borderline unethical instead of remaining neutral calm and professional. She later emailed him to apologize but it was too late and the damage had been done. I simply can't help how I respond to domestic violence but I was wronged for it, I felt so betrayed by her and traumatized I couldn't even get myself to go back. Just the thought of trying to be in a session with them made me cry, I had to email and discharge myself as a patient ASAP. I had a complete mental breakdown and hysterically sob in the ending of that session. Let me tell you this experience with her has left me so broken and made me fear seeking professional help again. I will have to independently build trust for when time is right to try someone else again, I hope no one has to go through what I had to it was horrific and just awful headspace to be. Again keep in mind not every counselor is for everyone. Her friendly relationship with my partner has made it easier for him to open up to her, so at least she's doing something with him. 1 star for that.

She is so kind, generous, caring and supportive.  Her approach is not formulaic; instead, she has such a broad and deep knowledge of different approaches,  techniques and supporting materials that she can use in the moment to respond with great care and thoughtfulness to however I show up that day.  Working with her has genuinely changed the way I move through my life, and I'm deeply grateful for the steadiness and compassion she brings to every session.

I truely feel safe in my own space and in the world, for the first time in my 70 years on this earth. This somatic work has given me an opportunity to step out of my story and view my very sensitive nervous system with respect and awe. Amy has helped me to understand that I "AM NOT BROKEN". And most importantly to learn how to understand and use the messages from my nervous system as a guide. The environment at the Collaborative is respectful, healing and safe. I am grateful to have found Amy and the Somatic Collaborative.

I feel like I'm back in the game of life now but I'm still consulting with Jenna after 18 months. She continues to be an excellent resource for me because she is a great listener but knows when to jump in if my emotional reasoning starts to stray. Her insights into why I sometimes get stuck are really helpful to me. She is grounded and evidence based, introducing me to various tools, attitudes and skill sets for managing my sometimes turbulent emotional landscape. But she also has great intuition and insight into mysteries of the heart and the need to respect and learn from our reptilian instincts without being controlled by that part of us. Jenna has a great balance between head and heart. Her vibe is confident, open to life and compassionate. She knows she has something good to offer and she skillfully brings that spirit to our conversations. I trust her and highly recommend her.

I was so touched, the first therapist that has been completely blunt and with such care for my healing.
