What was your path to becoming a mental health provider?

My path to becoming a mental health provider began with six years working in substance abuse treatment, both inpatient and outpatient. After experiencing my own struggles with postpartum depression in 2021, I shifted my focus to perinatal mental health. In 2022, I launched Jaclyn Tanner Counseling, LLC, to support parents through the emotional challenges of pregnancy, postpartum, and early parenthood. I furthered my expertise with training in CT’s Mind Over Mood program and Postpartum Support International. My journey is deeply informed by my own experiences as a mother and my commitment to empowering others through therapy and coaching.
