Anissa Jackson, LCDC

I specialize in helping others find their way out of the dark places that accompany addiction and trauma. I work with adults, teens, couples, and families.

My style is very person-centered, empathetic, and compassion-centered, meaning I will meet you where you are in your desire to heal. I will come alongside you to focus on making changes and a connection that will impact you long after a session. The opposite of addiction is connection; learning how to connect with yourself and others is an important step in the recovery process. I want to help you find your smile again.

I grew up an only child in a small town in Oklahoma. I was raised in a family ravaged by the disease of addiction. Always longing for more, I joined the Air Force to have a different experience in life. At age 19, I moved away and had my own family. I am a mother to 3 world-changing women and ‘Nonnie’ to five beautiful grandchildren. With a Master’s in Public Administration, I have worked in several leadership positions but found my calling when I stepped into substance use treatment. I have worked in residential treatment and outpatient care and now bring my experience with managing crisis and recovery into my 1:1 offerings.

When I am not working with clients, I enjoy spending quiet time in my garden, training my service dog, and thrifting. I also enjoy yoga, meditation, and exploring nature. I am a student of life, and a lover of art, music, and beauty. I love to walk barefoot in the grass and gaze at the stars; I have learned to appreciate the little things in life.
