Jacqueline Shelton-Espinosa, LCSW

Do you find yourself constantly showing up for everyone else while secretly wondering how much longer you can keep it all together? Are you exhausted from always being the one people count on, even when you're running on empty? If this resonates with you, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to carry it all alone.

 

With over 15 years of experience supporting personal growth, I’ve walked alongside people navigating life’s most complex and painful challenges. I believe that at our core, we are all seeking radical acceptance and belonging. You are not broken, and you do not need to be fixed. Many of the struggles we face—especially those rooted in race, gender, identity, and class—are a response to living in systems that invalidate our worth and exhaust our spirit.

 

My approach is rooted in compassionate collaboration and social justice, recognizing how systemic oppression impacts mental and physical health. I strive to create a therapeutic space where you feel seen, respected, and empowered. Through active listening, mindfulness techniques, and a focus on present-moment awareness, I help clients reconnect with their inner resilience and begin to heal.

 

In session, you’ll find my style to be informal, warm, and transparent, with a good dose of humor to keep things real and grounded. If you’re looking for a space where you don’t have to perform strength, but instead can be held in your truth, I’d be honored to support your journey.
