Jackie McGivern; Cloud Counseling LLC

Biographical Info Happily and creatively here to support clients' self-discovery, and guide them toward healing their relationships with food, body, others & self. While I specialize in providing support to individuals, families & carers encountering eating disorders & related issues, I'm here to support each client's mental health reclamation, however that may look. Whether they're ready to make change or perhaps just ready to start thinking about it, I provide a space for clients to process, feel & navigate through it. My goal is to support clients in getting where they want to go, be that toward recovery, harm reduction, rest, relief. We'll figure it out together. My approach to therapy is client-centered and collaborative. Creativity is key; I provide therapy that is shaped to fit each individual - their preferences, their needs, their goals. I believe in doing things differently. Healing and self-discovery is far too complex & personal for there to be a standard practice. I offer 3 modes of therapy: (1) In-Person (office) (2) Virtual (3) Outdoor/Exposure Therapy. Outdoor/exposure therapy consists of an in-person meeting that takes place at a nature or community-based location as determined in collaboration with the client. - Better able to access emotions in nature? See you at Mt. Tabor. - Ready to challenge a fear food? I'll join you. - Interested in exploring mindful movement? Let's go. - Want to explore a new resource? I'm happy to help! - My office location also includes access to a gated yard and garden where sessions can take place while maintaining privacy and confidentiality. *I find a mix of these 3 modes can elevate the therapy process by providing a dynamic path for clients to explore healing across a wide range of environments & real-life experiences. Rates vary depending on mode & length of services. [ I do not currently accept insurance; I do provide superbills to support clients in utilizing out-of-network benefits and seeking reimbursement from their insurance providers. ] Outside of individual therapy, areas of professional growth & interest include program development, family & systems integration, and active collaboration with the greater community to ensure use of more diverse, wide-ranging interventions for healing. I am not currently offering group therapy but this is a resource I am actively working on building and I hope to provide groups by the end of 2024. Groups I am looking to provide will be specifically geared toward young adolescents (11-14), older adolescents (14-17) as well as groups build specifically for parents/caregivers of children and teens with eating disorders. While I mainly specialize in providing therapeutic support to adolescents & families (systems) seeking treatment and/or continued care for eating disorders and related conditions, I do also greatly enjoy working with adults in need of support focused on life skill development, community integration and advocacy for resources and access. I also have a keen interest in making myself better suited to be a support to the population of gender-expansive youth and young adults; I am invested in leaning more about how I can advocate for and assist this group in navigating their recovery processes and discovering and/or reclaiming their healthy, euphoric selves. I aspire to encircle myself with forward thinkers and to devote my creativity and energy to environments and communities that are bursting with new ideas, compassionate listeners, and social justice-informed advocates. I am very grateful to be a part of the CREDN community.
