Jacqueline Powell

am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and the founder of Thriving Minds, where I provide compassionate, trauma-informed psychotherapy to individuals navigating anxiety, life transitions, and recovery from distressing experiences. My work is rooted in helping clients regain emotional stability, rebuild confidence, and reconnect with a sense of safety and control in their lives. I began my career with a deep commitment to supporting individuals facing complex emotional challenges, particularly those experiencing trauma-related stress and anxiety. Over the years, I have developed specialized experience in working with clients recovering from medical trauma, chronic stress, high-functioning anxiety, and major life disruptions. I understand how overwhelming it can feel when your body and mind no longer feel aligned — and how important it is to feel heard, validated, and supported. My approach is collaborative, structured, and goal-oriented. I integrate trauma-informed care, cognitive-behavioral strategies, emotional regulation techniques, and nervous system stabilization work to help clients reduce intrusive thoughts, improve sleep, manage anxiety, and strengthen resilience. I believe therapy should not only provide relief, but also equip clients with practical tools they can confidently use outside of sessions. Clients often tell me they appreciate my calm presence, direct guidance, and ability to help them feel grounded during difficult moments. My goal is to create a safe, respectful environment where you can process your experiences at your own pace while building the skills needed to move forward with clarity and strength.
