      <image:title>About - Transforming what we think about health and wellness</image:title>
      <image:caption>Hi! I’m Jacinda Collins. I am a Registered Social Worker (RSW) and a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP). I am also a Mom, a Partner, a Daughter, a Sister, a Friend, a Yoga Teacher, a Dancer, a Nature Lover. I am a lover of learning and a see-er of hearts. As a Clinical Counselor and a fellow human being, I believe in the value of understanding ourselves and prioritizing our overall health and wellness. We are the sum of many intricate parts. I believe my clients already have the answers within themselves to heal. They already have the tools to help themselves. They have their own unique body and mind wisdom that they carry throughout their lives based on their experiences, their relationships, and their family history. My job is to guide each individual back to themselves, back to a place of healing, and back to the place where they feel whole again and well again. In addition to my individual clinical practice, I am deeply passionate about helping couples navigate the complexities of intimacy and connection. Relationships are our greatest mirrors, but they can also become stuck in painful, repetitive patterns. My specialized training allows me to look at relationships through both a systemic and a somatic lens. By blending relational framework theories with somatic processing, I help couples: De-escalate High-Conflict Cycles: We look beneath surface-level arguments to understand the nervous system responses driving them. Heal Relational Trauma: I guide partners through processing past hurts, breaking negative communication cycles, and rebuilding foundational trust. Bridge Body and Mind Wisdom: Couples learn to recognize how chronic stress and trauma live in the body, allowing them to co-regulate and communicate from a place of grounded safety. Whether you are looking to repair after a rupture or deepen your emotional intimacy, my job is to guide couples back to each other, fostering a shared space of healing and mutual understanding. I am an NIHB (Treaty Status) and Victim Services approved Provider.</image:caption>
