Jacquelyn Jabul Mercer

Jacquelyn Jabul Mercer is a New York-licensed clinical social worker with post-graduate training from an analytical institute and four decades of clinical experience. She holds a New York advanced clinical social work license (LCSW-R, license number 039169) and has worked therapeutically with children, adolescents, and adults throughout her career.

Her professional background includes civilian credentialing by the Department of Defense as a GS-11 primary provider, with deployments to Fort Wainwright, Alaska, and Misawa, Japan, where she worked with Service Members and their families.

Her therapeutic orientation is psychodynamic psychoanalytic psychotherapy, with an emphasis on creating a collaborative working alliance to address long-standing, recurring patterns that interfere with a person’s relationship with themselves and with others. She encourages the courage needed to explore unresolved losses and to examine inner conflicts, fears, and anxieties.

Jacquelyn approaches treatment without rushing to judgment and does not promise instant results; instead she emphasizes the importance of trusting the treatment process. After clarifying what a client expects from treatment and identifying a treatment frame that fits within her offerings, she proceeds at the client’s pace.

Although the work can be intense, she remains attentive, interactive, and caring. Her approach is directed toward fostering change, enhancing self-understanding, supporting personal growth, and strengthening core emotional and psychological capacities.

She is available to support individuals in a personal journey of discovery.
