Meet Jackie Ourman—Therapist at Best Therapists

Jackie is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor specializing in couples and individual therapy for high-achieving professionals who are navigating the complex intersections of career, relationships, and personal growth. She works with individuals and couples who appear successful on the outside but often feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or unfulfilled beneath the surface. With advanced training in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and certification in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Jackie helps clients heal the emotional wounds and attachment patterns that interfere with meaningful connection. She also draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to support clients in clarifying values, building emotional resilience, and taking intentional steps toward lasting change. Her therapeutic approach is compassionate, collaborative, and thoughtfully direct. Jackie offers a grounded and supportive space for clients to explore relationship challenges, career stress, burnout, parenting transitions, and low self-worth. She works particularly well with professionals in high-pressure environments, such as financial services, technology, legal, and healthcare fields, who are juggling leadership roles with personal responsibilities. Jackie’s background in corporate human resources gives her a nuanced understanding of the emotional toll of ambition and perfectionism. She integrates this insight with clinical expertise to help clients move beyond patterns of disconnection and create deeper, more secure relationships, both at home and at work. Licensed in New York and Florida, Jackie sees clients in New York City, Westchester, and virtually. In addition to therapy, she offers executive coaching for professionals seeking alignment in their leadership, relationships, and overall well-being.

You’ve built a successful life on the outside. Your career is strong, your responsibilities are many, and others often rely on you. But inside, things may feel different. You might be struggling to feel connected in your relationships, constantly giving but rarely receiving. Maybe anxiety, self-doubt, or burnout quietly linger beneath the surface of your accomplishments. You're not alone, and you don’t have to keep navigating it all on your own. I specialize in working with high-achieving individuals and couples who are ready to break free from the patterns that keep them feeling stuck, unseen, or unfulfilled. Whether you’re managing relationship stress, work pressure, parenting transitions, or a deeper sense of disconnection, therapy can help you uncover what’s beneath the surface and move forward with clarity. Our work together will be collaborative, compassionate, and grounded in both insight and action. I’ll help you make sense of the attachment stories that shaped you and build the emotional resilience needed to create secure, fulfilling relationships at home, at work, and within yourself. This is your time to reconnect with who you are, with the people you love, and with the life you want to live. If you’re ready to begin, I’d be honored to support you.
