Jacqueline Machado

Hi, I’m Jackie!
I’m passionate about helping adults navigate life’s challenges, gain insight into their thoughts, feelings, and patterns, and feel more intentional and regulated in their emotional responses. If you’re feeling stressed or overwhelmed, I’m here to help you create intentional, meaningful progress.

My Approach
When we work together, we’ll create a safe and welcoming space where you can explore your emotions and develop skills to respond to them in healthy ways. We’ll move at a pace that feels comfortable for you, and I’ll guide you with care and understanding.

The Tools We’ll Use
I focus on helping you understand what’s going on beneath the surface—why you might feel stuck, overwhelmed, or reactive at times. I take into account how your past experiences, relationships, and even your nervous system may be shaping how you respond to stress or emotions today. In our work together, we’ll gently explore those patterns, build more awareness, and find new ways to relate to yourself and others. A big part of this process is learning how to be kinder to yourself, especially during the hard moments.

Who I Work With
I specialize in working with adults dealing with trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, emotional dysregulation, and relationship challenges. Many of my clients are also looking to improve communication in their relationships.

What to Expect
Each session will be tailored to what you need at that time, whether it's talking things through, learning new tools, or simply finding space to process. The goal is to help you feel more in control of your emotions and navigate life’s challenges with more confidence and ease.

My Style
I approach our work with empathy, patience, and curiosity. My goal is for you to feel heard and respected, while also empowering you to take positive steps forward in your life.

Our Work Together
In our first session, we’ll talk about what you’re hoping to achieve and create a plan that feels right for you. Insurances Accepted: Molina MediCal, Aetna, Carelon/Beacon LA Care, Kaiser SoCal Commercial. I’m available Monday through Friday, 8 AM to 3:30 PM. I look forward to supporting you!
