About

I utilize the following modalities of treatment:

Hi, I'm Jackie Kimmel, and I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor in the State of Arizona. My creativity and desire to help others led me to work in the counseling field. After graduating with a Studio Arts degree from The University of Arizona, I volunteered as a mentor to teens in a local residential treatment center. It was during that time that I decided to pursue my career in the mental health field. In 2012, I completed my internship at an intensive outpatient program for adults with co-occurring mental health issues. In 2013, I graduated from Ottawa University with my Masters in Professional Counseling with an emphasis in Expressive Art Therapy. I then completed 5 years of post-graduation experience, as well as acquired supervision hours, as a child therapist at a non-profit organization. After that time, I transitioned to private practice where I work with children, teens, and adults. These days, I mostly work with individuals 18 and up.My treatment experience includes childhood abuse, grief and loss, trauma, PTSD, self-esteem, anxiety, depression, LGBTQ+, break-up's, ADHD, anger management, stress management, women's issues, relationships, and infertility.Although I have training in Expressive Art Therapy, I also utilize other modalities of treatment. This includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Sand Tray Play Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), as well as DBT informed therapy.I’m excited to be pursuing training in Internal Family Systems with completion expected in October 2025. Additionally, I'm currently pursuing the completion of my advanced certification hours in EMDR, as well as certification as a Perinatal Mental Health Specialist. These approaches will enhance the support I offer clients, and I look forward to integrating them into my practice once fully trained.When I'm not working, I enjoy spending time with my family and dogs, home decorating, and doing creative projects. I love anything Disney, board games, and traveling when time allows.
