About Us

Jacki Mayowski, MS LPC BCBA LBA

Clinician + Certified NBCC LPC Supervisor

  

Jacki began her journey as a clinician at Indiana University where she received a Master’s in Counseling Psychology. Following her licensure she worked as a child and family therapist working with children suffering from various mental health illnesses while providing parental and sibling support.  During this time she received training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, while also receiving certifications in PEERS social skills curriculum and Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.


Jacki continued her academic path by completing a Master’s in Applied Behavior Analysis and becoming a Board Certified Behavior Analyst. She worked with children ages 18 months-18 years of age with Autism Spectrum Disorder. Jacki became the Clinical Director and Co-owner of a private pediatric treatment facility providing applied behavior analysis, occupational therapy, speech therapy, and counseling for individuals with developmental disabilities and their families until she made the leap to start

Jacki specializes in various evidence-based practices, but believes the therapist/client relationship is of utmost importance. Jacki believes in meeting her clients where they are at and working at a pace most conducive to their progress.


Karen Smyte, LLMSW MS MFA

Clinician

 Karen completed her Master’s in Social Work at the University of Michigan. Karen has experience providing trauma-informed psychotherapy for a variety of clients, young adults – elders, including refugees, those in monogamous and polyamorous relationships, those experiencing chronic illness and/or cognitive issues, and those with a variety of spiritual worldviews. Karen believes the quality of the therapeutic relationship has the most significant impact on healing and strives to be a secure presence for her clients. 


Based on the strengths of the client, Karen draws from a variety of interventions including grief therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, psychodynamic therapy, attachment theory, cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, dialectical behavioral therapy, and narrative therapy. Karen knows the transcendent possibilities of the body in motion, of the wisdom our bodies possess, and integrates somatic exercises and awareness in her practice. She understands how the stories we tell ourselves and others, and how we tell them, impact our sense of identity. Karen is passionate about helping others tell their truths, to improve relationships with friends, loved ones, and themselves, to accompany others as they deal with anxiety, depression, grief and other life transitions. Karen enjoys working with those throughout the life span, aware we are always coming-of-age. 

  

A former Canadian national team rower, newspaper reporter, crisis counselor for sexual assault survivors, founder of a high school girls rowing program, collegiate rowing coach, educator, President of Children’s Literacy Network, award-winning writer, caregiver and founder of the first youth-driven publishing press in the United States, Karen brings a variety of work, life and educational experiences to her psychotherapy practice.
