Kristin Cherry Jackson, LMFT

Welcome

I am excited to assist clients who are incorporating ketamine-assisted therapy (KAP) as part of their healing journey. I offer therapy services to clients who wish to use KAP to treat depression, PTSD, chronic pain, end-of-life fears, and other concerns. Prior to dosing, a preparatory session allows you to reflect on your intentions for your KAP experience. Following each dose, integration sessions are crucial to maximize the benefits of KAP, by enabling you to take full advantage of the window of neuroplasticity. During integration sessions, I offer Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), a somatic therapy based on EMDR that is helpful for processing trauma, anxieties, and other known triggers. I'm an LMFT - a licensed relationship-focused therapist, with a focus on sex therapy and helping people heal from impactful relational experiences and traumas. I help people explore and resolve the root causes of personal, sexual and relational problems so they can blossom into the best version of themselves. I’m excited to walk with you as you step into growth! In my work with clients, I often focus on emotional fluency and processing past traumas. I’m a human, just like you, and I view the relationship we build together as crucially important. It’s a testing ground where you can explore your beliefs and emotions; a safe place to have honest, vulnerable conversations about your deepest desires, dreams, hurts, and fears. You CAN build a life of connection, confidence, and authenticity. I'm happy to offer a free consultation to help us both gauge our fit. Reach out today!

Other Areas of Focus

Therapy Types

My work with every client includes improving their emotional fluency. I also help clients uncover harmful hidden assumptions and beliefs, and cultivate ways of communicating that invite mutual understanding. I see these as essential foundations for personal growth. Beyond these basics, I take an integrative approach to therapy, identifying each client's goals in our first session and tailoring my strategy based on their needs. The modalities I use are evidence-based and center emotion, compassion, attachment, and congruence with a person's values and their authentic Self. I am a Master-certified Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) practitioner. ART is based on EMDR and combines bilateral stimulation, somatic regulation, narrative reframing, and hypnotherapy techniques to help clients resolve traumatic situations, phobias, and situational anxieties.
