Jacqueline Switzer

Jacqueline Switzer, LMHC, brings a broad history in mental health to her clinical work in New York. Her professional path includes early roles in group home care and case management, managing a homeless shelter, crisis management and intervention, contracting for the New York State Department of Corrections and Community Supervision, and providing both group and individual counseling. She has been a practicing therapist for 8 years and describes almost two decades of work across systems that support people in distress.

That varied background informs a practice that integrates trauma-informed perspectives with solution-focused strategies, along with psychoeducation and mindfulness woven through sessions. Jacqueline attends to a range of concerns including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, bipolar disorder, and depression, and also offers support for related areas such as chronic illness and disability, codependency, domestic violence, first responder issues, and end-of-life concerns.

Clients work with a clinician who emphasizes advocacy and practical skills. Jacqueline aims to combine evidence-aware tools and educational resources with mindful practices to help people explore coping, manage mood-related challenges, and clarify life purpose in collaboration with the individual seeking help.
