Getting to know Mirissa Jackson

Mirissa Jackson is the creator and primary clinician for Relief with Rissa, LLC. Mrs. Jackson resides in Tokyo, Japan, but no worries-you will not know the difference. She is originally from Chicago, Illinois, where she earned her bachelor's degree at Western Illinois University and her master's degree in Social Work with an emphasis on clinical mental health from the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. Mrs. Jackson has seven years of experience as a mental health professional and five years as a clinical therapist. She specializes in working with African American women who have suffered traumatic experiences. Mrs. Jackson is a Certified Trauma Specialist and is certified in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. She is also a Brainspotting provider and uses this intervention to help clients process unresolved PTSD. Mrs. Jackson is eager to engage minorities in healing institutional, generational, workplace, and systemic trauma. In sessions with her, she focuses on helping clients get “unstuck” from traumatic events that have made them feel stagnant in their growth and potential. She wants her clients to recognize that there is a better way of living-one that does not include constant internal or external suffering. Mrs. Jackson helps clients move beyond feeling like they are on “pilot” and allows them to experience relief by mastering a “quiet brain,” “adequate sleep,” “healthy interpersonal relationships,” “daily meditation,” “healthy eating,” “balance in their day-to-day life,” and a sense of safety and control over themselves. There is life on the other side of traumatic experiences. Together, you will develop a realistic plan for change that will elevate your mental health journey. Mrs. Jackson's experience spans a variety of settings, including substance use rehabilitation facilities, children's residential centers, jails, and military base installations.
