Jackie Brink, Clinical Intern

Hello and welcome!

I believe everyone has a unique story and deserves a nonjudgmental space to explore their experiences and what matters most to them. Life can be challenging, and at times we may find ourselves feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure of how to move forward. Whether you are navigating anxiety, trauma, relationship concerns, or life transitions, my goal is to provide a supportive environment where you feel heard, understood, and empowered as we work together toward meaningful change.

Using EMDR, CBT, and Narrative Therapy, I work collaboratively with clients to process difficult experiences, challenge patterns that may no longer serve them, and build on their existing strengths. I believe healing begins with understanding both the challenges you are facing and the resilience you already possess. Together, we will explore how past experiences and current stressors may be impacting your life today while developing practical tools to help you move forward with greater confidence, self-understanding, and clarity.

Creating a safe, compassionate, and authentic therapeutic relationship is one of my highest priorities. I strive to meet each client where they are and tailor therapy to their unique needs, goals, and values. I believe growth is possible for everyone, and I would be honored to walk alongside you on your journey toward healing. Taking the first step toward therapy can feel overwhelming, but it can also be the beginning of meaningful change. If you are ready to get started, I invite you to reach out to schedule a complimentary consultation.

Education and Training

 

I am currently pursuing a Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at the University of Phoenix, with an expected graduation date of February 2027. I also hold a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of Arizona, which deepened my appreciation for creativity, self-expression, and the unique ways people heal and grow. My clinical training includes:

  • Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR)

  • Internal Family Systems (IFS)

  • Cognitve Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

  • Narrative Therapy

  • Art-Informed Approach

If you feel Jackie may be a good fit, we invite you to schedule a complimentary 15-minute phone consultation to learn more and discuss your goals for therapy.

As a clinical intern at Cooper Counseling Center, Jackie receives ongoing supervision, consultation, and support from our team of experienced trauma therapists, helping ensure clients receive high-quality, evidence-based care. Jackie practices under the direct supervision of Marisa Chandler, LCSW (Arizona License #LCSW-23084).
