I have worked as a Mental Health Associate at a Residential Inpatient Treatment Facility, Case Manager for DFACS, to working as the Director of Clinical Services for a Community Based Mental Health agency and owner of a private Mental Health Practice since 2013. I have conducted Adoption studies, Trainer for Foster Parenting program, Individual/Family/Group Counselor, Drug and Alcohol Counselor, and EAP. I have worked with all ages from as young as 5, to 80 years of age. I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) & Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to address the needs of my clients. I am also trained in TF-CBT (Trauma Focused) and Cognitive Processing Therapy. I have primarily treated clients with Depression, Anxiety, Bipolar Disorder, & ADD/ADHD. My mantra is "Reaching new heights through the transformation of the mind". Once the mind has been transformed, one can achieve higher goals that once were never conceivable.

Words From Clients

TESTIMONIAL 
"Jax was very friendly, attentive, and a great listener. I'm glad that I Choose well this time around!"

Initials Hidden, May 2026

"It was only my first visit with Jackey but I feel like I got a good sense of her. She was there on time and very friendly. Great listener and gave mean exercise to do after. Can’t wait for our next appointment!"

Dasia H, July 2023

"My husband and I had the best therapy session ever. In one sitting, Jackey was able to dive deep into the source of our problems and provide us with tasks to complete before our next session. She provided great insight into our lives, issues and challenges. Overall, we left with the sense of healing, understanding and felt empowered."

Initials Hidden, April 2023

"Earlier this year I experienced lots of changes and great challenges in my life both personally and professionally. I was overwhelmed and knew I needed help getting through this unfamiliar territory. I tried therapy in the past, but it didn’t work out very well for me. A friend recommended Ms. McKinney and making that appointment was the best choice I ever made. Ms. McKinney created a space that was supportive, safe, and engaging. She recommended tools that helped me to become a better and authentic version of myself. I have much work to do, but what I know for sure is that I’m on the right road to healing. Thank you, Ms. McKinney, for giving me this place and space to grow, I’m grateful."
