Jackee has been wonderful during my journey. She’s very relatable and makes it so easy to open up. Her guidance and the tools she has provided me has helped me tremendously. Jackee is always encouraging and uplifting. She’s definitely someone you would want in your corner.

I found my therapy sessions helpful with Jacqueline because she didn’t only say comforting things like most therapists I’ve been to have done which hasn’t been helpful. She also was honest as to pointing out where my way of thinking was maybe wrong which is what helped me a lot. Her honesty is what I needed to “wake up” and for the first time I felt like therapy was actually helpful.

I have been looking for a therapist like Ms. Jackee for years and I am so happy to be working with her. Our calls are genuine, honest, and comfortable. She offers me a safe space where I can talk about anything. She listens with empathy and offers valuable advice. I truly enjoy working with her and look forward to every session!

Mrs. Caskey-James was a godsend to me! I couldn’t have asked for a better counselor for me situation ! She is an expertise in her field and that really comforted me. She was relatable, empathetic and considerate of my needs. She helped me reframe some my perfectionistic thinking that led me to worrying. It was comforting to have someone to talk to that is able to help with this.

Jacqueline Caskey-James was my counselor for a month and It changed my life completely. She is amazing, respectful, intelligent, and much much more. With her counseling I was able to change my perspective in many matters in life, and was able to achieve great levels of self-love. I would 100% recommend her for anyone I know, due to her expertise, work ethic, and overall loving nature.

Miss Jackie is amazing. She adapts to my way of speaking ,listens, talks and looks at me not only in a professional manner but also as another human being. I have no words to describe how she can pinpoint things just by talking to me and then tells me her analysis of the situation aswell. Long story short: 10/10
