Jacquelyn Jabul Mercer, LCSW-R

Jacquelyn Jabul Mercer, LCSW-R, is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker - registered in New York who brings four decades of clinical experience and post-graduate analytical institute training to her work. She has provided services to children, adolescents, and adults and has experience serving military communities as a Department of Defense credentialed civilian GS-11 primary provider, including deployments to Fort Wainwright, Alaska, and Misawa, Japan, where she worked with Service Members and their families.

Her orientation is psychodynamic psychoanalytic psychotherapy, and she emphasizes a co-created working alliance that targets long-term, recurring patterns that interfere with relationships with oneself and others. She frames therapy as a process that asks for courage - a willingness to explore unresolved losses and to examine inner conflicts, fears, and anxieties rather than expecting quick fixes.

Jacquelyn avoids a rush to judgment and prioritizes establishing trust in the treatment process. Once expectations for treatment are clarified and a treatment frame is agreed upon, she works at a pace that fits the individual client. Although the work can be intensive, she remains attentive, interactive, and caring throughout the process.

The therapeutic approach is aimed at fostering change, increasing self-understanding, encouraging personal growth, and strengthening core emotional and psychological resources. She is committed to supporting individuals through a personal journey of discovery.
