Jackie Bendell, M.A., RCC
Clinic Owner
Clinical Work

Jackie has over 10 years of experience working with high-school aged youth with mental health challenges, as well as adults struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, parenting difficulties and career changes. Jackie's work is informed primarily by a cognitive behavioral and solution focused approach. Short term goals focus on immediate symptom relief while long term goals examine more enduring patterns of thinking, feeling and behaving that keep a person stuck in their current challenges.

​

Jackie has facilitated many groups including, parenting the ADHD child, anxiety for teens, yoga and wellness, social skills development, social anxiety, social skills for youth with FASD, and transition support groups.

​

Jackie has facilitated and co-facilitated various workshop focusing on healthy sleep habits, anxiety awareness and treatment, school refusal, and FASD.
