Hey there! If you're thinking about taking the first step towards healing and self-discovery, I'm here for you! My name is Jackie Kimmel, and I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor in sunny Arizona. I'm here to offer support with a focus on compassion and effectiveness, especially for those navigating trauma, narcissistic abuse, ADHD, depression, anxiety, anger management, grief, relationship issues, and women's concerns. Whether you're an adult or an adolescent, my aim is to provide a safe space for growth and healing. I use evidence-based approaches like EMDR, CBT, and DBT, tailoring my interventions to fit your unique needs.

I work with people using a variety of philosophies, but those encompassing humanistic and psychodynamic theories inform most of my practice. This generally means I am most interested in focusing on emotions, insight, relationships, past experiences, meta-emotion, self-worth, authenticity, fantasies, and the unconscious. I rely heavily on discussing shame, vulnerability, emotional needs, and creating meaning in life. I am fairly non-directive, and I will be most focused on helping you find your own authentic path by reflecting and exploring deeper meanings and patterns that arise in our discussions.

Serenity, Equanimity, Peace of Mind. Are these qualities sorely missing from your life? You are not alone. Most Westerners experience rushed living, lack of acceptance, anxious and depressed mood - what inevitably amounts to suffering. While pain is a universal experience, with practice suffering can become optional. But lack of skill, low motivation, and general haggardness of life prevent many from consistent self-care which can alleviate suffering. If this is your story, The Serenity Center was opened with you in mind. Reducing suffering to manageable levels is an achievable goal - and all you may need is a skillful guide.

Many variables may pose a barrier to a fulfilling life. I will support you in rediscovering what you are passionate about— a life worth living, regaining greater self-acceptance, emotional control, and healing, personally and in your relationships. I have aided clients’ reduction of anxiety and depression related to grief and loss, trauma, addiction and relationship stress. I provide a safe environment where clients can discover and reconnect with what is most important, discussing ways to overcome challenges, increasing hope, affecting positive change in client's life and relationship.

As you search for a solution to the problem you are facing, you may feel that you are in the dark. My goal as a therapist is to help you find your eyes in the dark. Together we will seek to identify the problem and help you to stand against it. We will evaluate your unique story and work to rewrite it towards the preferred outcome that you will define. My unique perspective as a counselor with a visual impairment qualifies me to provide a view of the problem that is different than most counselors.

I have primarily worked with adults. I can help with anxiety, depression, PTSD issues, grief issues, motivation, relationship issues, and substance abuse challenges. I have helped people with less severe issues all the way to people with serious mental health challenges.
