Jacquie Atkins, LPC

Jacquie is a licensed professional counselor who holds a Master of Science degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling – Psychology and a Bachelor of Science degree in Human Services, both from Evangel University in Springfield, MO.

Jacquie specializes in attachment-based work with teens, families, individuals, and couples.

Jacquie began her clinical work in 2013 working with children within the foster system. During this time, she was honored to provide support and guidance to foster children, their birth parents, and their foster families. In walking alongside children and their biological and foster families, Jacquie saw the deep impact that trauma has on families. At the same time, she got to witness firsthand how facilitating healthy attachments for children, teens, and adults could bring significant healing to individuals and family-systems.

In October of 2020, Jacquie began pursuing advanced training in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). Jacquie utilizes EFT and other evidence-based approaches to help families grow closer together and heal from trauma.

Jacquie is a wife and mother of two adult sons. In her spare time she enjoys traveling, reading and learning.
