Supportive therapy for the ones who hold everything together.
At HELD Therapy, we offer supportive connected care for people navigating the complexities of mental health in a society that often demands more than we have to give. We believe that no one should have to navigate anxiety, maternal mental health challenges, life transitions, or interpersonal trauma alone. We are committed to inclusive, relational care that honors both resilience and vulnerability, providing thoughtful therapy that helps emotional holders find real support in a complex world.
Hi, I’m Jaclyn!
I’m a licensed professional counselor, mom of two, avid reader and amateur cake baker.
I specialize in working with high-achieving and over-functioning adults stuck in a cycle of endless productivity, overwhelm, and mental noise. I support clients with trauma recovery, life transitions, couples and motherhood.
Therapy with me isn’t just about coping skills, it’s about:
Untangling over-responsibility
Understanding your attachment patterns
Softening perfectionism
Building nervous system regulation
Learning to receive support
Creating boundaries without guilt
Are You the Emotional Holder?
You might be if:
You’re always the calm one in conflict.
People confide in you constantly.
You manage everyone’s feelings often before your own.
You’re highly competent, but internally anxious.
You rarely fall apart, but often feel overwhelmed.
Rest feels unfamiliar.
You feel responsible for keeping relationships steady.
Emotional holders often experience:
High-functioning anxiety
Quiet resentment
Overthinking and rumination
Difficulty asking for help
Burnout that feels confusing (“But I’m handling everything…”)
Disconnection from their own needs
You don’t have to be everything to be enough.
