Alfaye Jackson

Alfaye Jackson is a licensed professional counselor in Missouri, holding an LPC credential (MO LPC 2015044726) and bringing 17 years of clinical experience to her practice. She supports adults facing stress and anxiety, addictions, anger management concerns, bipolar disorder, and depression.

Alfaye works to create an open, safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. Her approach balances warmth and care with accountability, helping clients set goals, develop individualized treatment plans, and learn sustainable ways to care for their mental health.

Her clinical offerings include individual counseling, group counseling, and couples counseling. She most commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), solution-focused methods, mindfulness, humanistic approaches, and Christian therapy to address presenting needs.

Faith and service are central to Alfaye’s life outside the therapy room. She names her personal relationship with the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ as a source of great joy, celebrates her son as her greatest accomplishment, and serves as Founder and CEO of H.O.P.E. Inc, a 501(c)(3) organization she has led for the past 14 years. The mission of H.O.P.E. is to provide housing, education, and training for homeless youth, at-risk youth, and youth in need, while offering outreach ministry to all in need.

As a professional counselor Alfaye views it as an honor to serve those who seek help. She recognizes the courage it takes to share intimate concerns with a stranger and expresses gratitude for clients' trust. She aims to build rapport quickly so the therapeutic relationship feels familiar and supportive, and she encourages clients to take the first step toward change.

Alfaye promises to treat each person, their feelings, and their thoughts with respect and without judgment, while adhering to legal standards for confidentiality. She strives to respect clients' time, arrive prepared, and apply ethical, evidence-informed clinical skills to meet therapeutic needs. Alfaye invites clients to begin the work of healing one step at a time.
