I am Jacky Alerte a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Certified Clinical Supervisor, Certified School Social Worker, Certified Mental Health Screener, Certified Reiki Master, Poet/Speaker, Educator, Advocate and Clinical Supervisor for Wellness Meets World. Connecting with our inner selves is one of the most important ways we can focus on our emotional well-being and open ourselves to healing. I believe individual care should not be limited to just the treatment of the mind and wholeheartedly believe exploration and implementation of a “healthy balance” in life, the mind, body, emotions, and spirituality are essential in achieving overall wellness; identifying and realizing what we truly need plays a significant role in how we live our lives and grow as individuals.

 

Since 2009 I have provided psychotherapy, guidance, and support to individuals, children and families impacted by life’s daily challenges. I’ve seen firsthand how these events can impede upon one’s functioning in all aspects, whether it be home, school, work or spiritual life. As a therapist, my goal is to inspire creative solutions to the challenges you may face and help you realize your true potential to facilitate healing and growth. As a supervisor my goal is to continue in the formative, normative, and restorative development of the clinicians that you will work with. I also believe in an alternative and holistic approach to therapy and am trained in White Light Reiki. Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. I am excited about the opportunity to work collaboratively with you and embark on this therapeutic journey of insight, healing, and growth.
