International/transracial adoptee, therapist, coach, consultant and cancer surviver Jaclyn shares profound insights into adoptee wellness. We explore grief, loneliness to help us navigate all these deep feelings and be well.
Here's a bit about Jaclyn from her website
"I believe healthy, post-adoption outcomes begin with pre-adoption education and intentional parenting.
My goals are to create a space that embodies compassion, to foster a therapeutic relationship that enables vulnerability, and to support the exploration of your whole self. I am an ally, an empath, and an attuned listener. I offer a safe environment without judgment to best encourage and support your self-exploration.
As a trauma-informed clinician, some of my areas of specialty include; transracial adoption, attachment, grief & loss, identity exploration, racial equity and social justice. As an international and transracially adopted person, I weave my personal experiences into my professional training to offer perspective and insight. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in the state of Wisconsin, a public speaker, a national trainer for adoption competency, adoptive parent coach, adoption consultant, adoptive family homeland journey social worker and have facilitated international birth-family searches and reunions."
