Getting to know Dr. Jacqueline Williams Reade
Hello. My name is Jackie. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (in CA and MT) and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (in MT). I hold a Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Seattle Pacific University and completed a Fellowship in Hospice and Palliative Care at Johns Hopkins University. I’m passionate about helping patients, family members, and caregivers adjust and cope with the stressors of living with or caring for people with medical illnesses. My practice focuses on addressing stress, processing difficult emotions, grief and loss support, and preventing or healing burnout. I provide a safe, affirming environment sensitive to diverse backgrounds, identities, and beliefs. My style is caring, humorous, and challenging.
With over 20 years of experience, I have helped those living with chronic illnesses such as cancer, fibromyalgia, and MS, as well as those facing grief, loss, and professional burnout. Having worked within the medical system, I bring specialized training in palliative and end-of-life care. I am honored to help you find a path where you can follow your heart (Kardia means “heart” in Greek). Please reach out to get started.
Personalized Anxiety and Depression Support: Guidance for dealing with anxiety and depression, especially related to medical illnesses.
Chronic Illness Support: Counseling for those navigating conditions like cancer, MS, autoimmune diseases, and more.
Grief and Loss Support: A safe space to process and grieve loss.
Burnout and Stress Relief: Break free from stress and burnout with expert guidance and practical strategies, specializing in healthcare professionals.
Trauma-Informed Therapy: A secure space for healing and addressing past experiences.
What should a new client know about working with you?
Here’s a glimpse of what it’s like to work with me. During our therapeutic relationship, I focus on the following:
Compassionate Guidance: In our sessions, you can expect a non-judgmental and empathetic space where you are free to explore your thoughts and feelings without reservation.
Holistic and Integrated Approach: My therapeutic approach recognizes the interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit. We'll address not only the immediate challenges you're facing but also work towards a deeper understanding of your past to help build a more hopeful future.
Specialized Expertise: With a focus on chronic illness, grief, burnout, stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma, I bring specialized expertise to help you navigate these complex aspects of life.
Tailored and Evidence-based Support: My therapeutic interventions are evidence-based and tailored to your specific needs, ensuring that our work together resonates with your goals and aspirations.
Personal Empowerment: My goal is to empower you to discover the strengths within yourself.
Through personalized strategies and support, we'll explore, heal, and build the foundation for a more fulfilling and balanced life.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
After a free 15-minute consultation, we'll determine together if we are a good fit and should schedule our first appointment. I will send you a link to a secure online platform where you will fill out a few documents so I can better get to know you. During our first session, I will ask more about your background and also try to provide you with some immediate relief through deep understanding and insight. Over the next few sessions we will work on goals for your treatment. If you are submitting documentation to your insurance, I will need to provide a mental health diagnosis and will talk with you about the diagnosis process and what it means. If you are private pay, you will not need a diagnosis to be seen. In the next stage of therapy, we will address your treatment goals. I use somatic or mind/body interventions as living with illness or being in the medical system often is a challenge for us mentally, emotionally, and physically and so I want to address all of these domains in our work. I also often utilize trauma interventions as our current experiences are often influenced by previous traumas in our lives. My work primarily focuses on supporting you to live more authentically while also being in close and fulfilling relationships with others. Often clients experience significant relief after several sessions, but clients also tend to stay in therapy for several months. I check in regularly about how you are feeling about the therapeutic process and elicit feedback to help you feel more comfortable and get the most out of the therapy experience. I am very open with clients about what I am thinking and doing in sessions so you don't have to wonder what I am "really" thinking - I will let you know! :) Clients often meet with me initially weekly or every other week and as they progress, sometimes reduce to once a month. My door is always open for "check-ins" or for return clients. Thank you for reading this far and I look forward to working with you.
