Jackie Dotson, LCSW - Sacramento EMDR Counselor / Psychotherapist
Meet Jackie Dotson

If I could use one word to describe my approach to counseling it would be intuitive. I have an innate ability to understand where my clients are coming from and, more importantly, where they need to go. 

My clients tell me I am straightforward, that I am an anchor for them. I am able to bring them back to the big picture of their lives. What that means for my clients is that I save them time and money. I’m able to teach them skills that they can apply immediately and get on with life.

As a counselor I have the opportunity to make a real difference in the lives of my clients. When people choose to enter counseling they are putting a lot on the line. Its my passion to be there for them so that they know they are not alone and there is a way through the situation they are in.

I was born, raised and educated in New York City and have lived in (and love) Sacramento, California for seven years. For me, Sacramento is a unique city, large enough to have the diversity, energy and great restaurants of a big city and small enough to provide a unique sense of community. 

Before becoming a counselor, I worked as a newspaper editor and also spent eight years in the restaurant industry which taught me to be a great listener and to understand and emphasize with people in all circumstances and from every walk of life. 

Outside of work, I race in triathlons and I enjoy traveling, good food, skiing and taking long walks with my Dachshund-Yorkshire mix puppy.
