Jaclyn Paradise, LAC, is a Licensed Associate Counselor and Certified Trauma Professional (CTP) based in New Jersey. She earned her Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Rider University, where she developed a strong foundation in trauma-informed care, mindfulness, and humanistic therapy. Jaclyn brings a warm, grounded, and integrative approach to therapy, working primarily with adults navigating complex trauma, anxiety, self-esteem challenges, codependency, and life transitions. With clinical experience in both private practice and intensive outpatient settings, Jaclyn has supported individuals recovering from substance use and co-occurring mental health concerns. She has designed and facilitated group programming centered on inner child work, emotional regulation, and trauma healing. Her therapeutic work is informed by Internal Family Systems (IFS), somatic interventions, and Eastern philosophies, which she integrates into sessions with intention and care. In addition to her clinical training, Jaclyn is a 200hr Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT) and incorporates body-based techniques such as breathwork, chakra exploration, and trauma-sensitive movement into her work. She believes in empowering clients to reconnect with their internal wisdom, build self-compassion, and find meaning in their healing journey. Jaclyn has a particular interest in supporting first responders, military personnel, and individuals exploring identity, spirituality, and cultural roots. Her work is rooted in empathy, curiosity, and a deep respect for the resilience of the human spirit.

If you’ve landed here, you’re likely searching for a therapist who truly gets it—someone who goes beyond surface-level fixes and creates a space for deep, lasting healing. Maybe you’re feeling stuck in patterns of anxiety, trauma, people-pleasing, or perfectionism. Maybe you’ve tried coping skills or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), but something still feels unresolved. You’re ready to understand why you feel the way you do and how to finally move forward. I specialize in trauma therapy, anxiety treatment, and inner child healing for adults who are ready to explore their emotional world with curiosity and compassion. My approach combines Internal Family Systems (IFS), somatic therapy, mindfulness, and holistic practices to support healing from the inside out. Clients often come to me after years of feeling disconnected from themselves—struggling with self-worth, setting boundaries, or breaking free from codependent relationships. In our sessions, we’ll slow down and tune in. You’ll learn to navigate life with more self-trust, groundedness, and clarity. I provide online therapy for adults in New Jersey looking for a warm, down-to-earth therapist who’s not afraid to go deep. Whether you’re dealing with complex trauma, high-functioning anxiety, or just feeling lost, you don’t have to do it alone. If you're ready to reconnect with yourself and reclaim your story, I’d be honored to support you on your journey. Let’s talk and see if we’re a good fit.
