Hello, I am Jacqueline Awe . I grew up in Trinidad and Tobago in the Caribbean and I have lived in the United States as a citizen for the past twenty-three years. I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) and master addiction counselor (MAC). I work as a supervisor in higher education [Student Affairs] and oversee counseling, disability, health, and prevention services. I am the coordinator of a program that supports students who age out of foster care and those who identify as homeless. Outside of this role, I do domestic violence and substance abuse assessments and counseling with adults with various life issues. I am also a mother, wife, sister, godmother, supervisor, friend, volunteer, and many other roles that I enjoy.
I decided to pursue this profession after failing miserably at insurance sales. I realized that I enjoy helping people in a social context and not in sales. While volunteering, I observed a professional who was helping children and their families, and it imprinted on me. I followed that profession and never looked back. I empathize readily, and I intentionally choose to view people through the lens of integrity and worth. I use a strengths perspective in my work, and I enjoy finding the hero in your stories, and re-introducing you to him/her. I believe in client empowerment, so I do not tell you the answers but instead I work with you to explore options and assist you in selecting what would work best for your wellness.
* * My schedule: I practice from 8 a.m. to 6p.m, during the week, so my availability is evenings and Saturdays. My schedule is ideal for the traditional hour working person who would prefer a therapist when they wind down in the evening or are available on weekends * * *
I believe in giving people more mercy and less judgment. My goal is to be helpful and support you through this current season in your life. I wish you only good!

Jacqueline is so personable, insightful & in some magical way "gets" me via a video session! I know listening is a big part of being a good therapist & she certainly has that skill nailed because her advice, suggested articles, responses to my frequent (non-cogent) questions (aka: worry) are spot on! I am so happy to have found her!
thank, Better Help!!

I love Jacqueline! She is so caring and so easy to talk to. I was so hesitant to start therapy for a long time and I am so glad I got matched with her. She specializes in the areas I’ve struggled with and has truly helped me get to a better place.

Jacqueline has helped me change my life. I feel like I'm a completely different person since working with her. My mindset has completely changed since our first session. She's always so warm and welcoming and always comes to session with a smile on her face.

The therapist that never sleeps. She is very interactive with her clients, always sending words of encouragement, Ted Talks and inspirational quotes. I literally sent her a message at 4 am and she responded within 10 minutes. I’m always getting messages from her and when I look at the time, it can be 1 am or even 4am. She is exactly what I was looking for when I joined BetterHelp. You can really tell she wants to help you ❤️
