Jacqueline Gross

Graduate Clinical Mental Health Counseling Intern

“You can come to therapy as you are. We’ll take time to understand your experience and discover what growth looks like for you.”

ABOUT Jacqueline Gross

Jacqueline brings warmth, empathy, and curiosity to her work with adolescents, adults, and families. She offers a welcoming space where clients can speak openly, explore their experiences, and feel accepted as they are.

She believes trust and authenticity are central to meaningful therapy. Jacqueline takes time to understand each client’s story, strengths, and goals, working collaboratively to find an approach that feels helpful and personal.

PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

Jacqueline is completing graduate training in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Hood College. Her studies include human development, counseling approaches, family and group dynamics, and culturally responsive care, including gender-affirming counseling.

Before entering counseling, she worked in healthcare, constituent services, and team leadership. These experiences strengthened her communication, problem-solving, and collaboration skills, which she brings to building supportive relationships with clients.

CLINICAL FOCUS

Jacqueline supports clients navigating anxiety, identity exploration, relationship concerns, life transitions, and questions about themselves. She also welcomes clients seeking deeper self-understanding, even when no single concern defines their reason for starting therapy.

Her integrative approach draws on person-centered, psychoanalytic, psychodynamic, emotion-focused, and mindfulness perspectives. Together, Jacqueline and her clients explore emotions and relationship patterns, develop insight, and identify meaningful steps toward growth.

I can’t say enough great things about Washington Psychological Wellness. From the very first appointment, I felt welcomed, respected, and genuinely heard. The entire team is professional, compassionate, and creates a comfortable environment where it’s easy to open up without feeling judged.

The therapists take the time to truly understand your situation and provide thoughtful, practical guidance that’s tailored to your individual needs instead of using a one-size-fits-all approach. Scheduling has been easy, communication is excellent, and every interaction has been positive.

If you’re looking for a practice that genuinely cares about your mental health and personal growth, I highly recommend Washington Psychological Wellness. Their professionalism, empathy, and commitment to helping their clients make them an outstanding choice for anyone seeking quality mental health care.
