Getting to know Jacqueline Machamer

At Whispering Tides Therapy, I help people navigate the turbulent waters of life to find resilience and peace. As an LCSW, I specialize in working with those who feel "stuck" due to past trauma or persistent anxiety. My practice offers a compassionate, human-centered environment where you are seen as a whole person. Together, we will work to process your experiences and help you move forward with confidence and strength.

What should a new client know about working with you?

Working with me is a collaborative partnership where your safety is the priority. I am an active, warm, and grounded therapist—not a "blank slate." Because the body often holds stress that words cannot reach, I specialize in neurobiologically-informed tools including EMDR, Brainspotting, and Clinical Hypnosis, alongside CBT. Whether we are reprocessing trauma or managing daily stress, I provide the specialized tools and steady support to help you heal at your own pace.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

Our process is intentional and moves at your pace. After an initial intake to align on your goals, we focus on building your "toolkit" of grounding techniques. Once you feel resourced, we move into deeper healing using specialized tools like EMDR or Brainspotting to resolve emotional blocks. We regularly evaluate your progress to ensure the work remains relevant and effective. My goal is to equip you with the confidence and clarity to navigate life's future tides independently and with peace.
