Jacqueline Gilligan(She/Her/Hers)

Jacqueline works with adolescents and adults who are navigating a range of emotional, behavioral, and interpersonal challenges. She has particular expertise in supporting individuals living with mood disorders, trauma-related symptoms, personality disorders, and substance use concerns. With a warm, grounded presence, Jacqueline brings compassion and curiosity to the therapeutic process—creating space for clients to feel both safe and empowered in exploring their inner worlds.

Her approach to therapy is flexible and personalized, incorporating a blend of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), psychodynamic principles, acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and creative modalities such as art and play therapy. Jacqueline believes that the therapeutic relationship itself is a powerful vehicle for change and prioritizes authenticity, mutual respect, and trust in her work with clients.

Jacqueline is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with a Master of Social Work from Fordham University and a Bachelor of Science in Public Health from the University of Massachusetts at Amherst. She brings a breadth of experience from both clinical and forensic settings, including inpatient units, outpatient clinics, juvenile detention facilities, and state-level disability services.
