About Jacquetta Mcghie

Hello. I’am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in New York. I have been working for 13+ years with families and clients of all ages. I enjoy helping and supporting clients on their individual journey. I have helped clients with depression, anxiety, trauma, abuse, adjustment issues, relationship challenges, anger management, self esteem, not being raised by biological family, and more.
My therapeutic style allows for adjustment, as I meet clients where they are, understanding that some might appreciate more direction, while others require less. Through it all, I uphold the value of vulnerability, walking alongside clients, building trust. I put my clients in the driver’s seat, as we unravel complicated feelings, trauma, and pain, in order to gain peace, wholeness, and empowerment.
It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life, and to take the first step towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.

“Jacquetta Mcghie is trustworthy and professional. She makes me feel like I am important and that I matter. She has helped me through a very difficult period of my life and has helped me grow emotionally.”

“Working with my therapist has been one of the most empowering and healing experiences of my life. From our very first session, I felt seen, heard, and genuinely supported. Their approach is compassionate yet direct—always creating a safe space while also challenging me in the most constructive ways.<br /> <br /> They have an incredible ability to help me unpack emotions I didn’t even realize I was carrying, and they've guided me through some of the most difficult chapters of my life with patience, empathy, and insight. I’ve gained powerful tools for managing stress, setting boundaries, and honoring my own needs.<br /> <br /> Every session leaves me feeling lighter, clearer, and more in tune with myself. I truly feel like I’m becoming the best version of me—and I couldn’t have done it without their guidance. If you’re looking for a therapist who is deeply intuitive, professional, and truly invested in your growth, look no further.”
