Mary “Jackie” Downie

“Great listener, providing suggestions and appropriate challenges to help me grow and see things in other ways”

“Focus platform for bettering my mental health”

“We have just.<br /> Started working together but i'm very optimistic”

“I've just met Jackie, but she was an skilled and patient listener. I note 'skilled' because with so many ideas, emotions, and thoughts all clamoring to get out, Jackie was able to pick out the important part of my thoughts and dial in very quickly on what some of the key issues are for me at this point.”

“Jackie meets me where I am. That is the biggest gift. If you do not understand,, you never will.”

“My partner and I were on the verge of divorce when we first started working with Jackie, and I don't think it's an exaggeration at all to say she was instrumental in saving our marriage. From my perspective we're in a better place now than we were the day we got married. She's fantastic at making both parties feel heard and validated, and at working through issues in a way that feels genuinely supportive without it ever coming across like she's taking sides. Jackie's approach did so much more than treat the symptoms we were currently experiencing. Working with her, we learned better tools to communicate, to recognize when we were seeing an issue from different perspectives, and to make meaningful changes to how we engaged as partners. <br /> <br /> Honestly, the one bittersweet part of sort of "graduating" from couple's therapy was no longer having a reason to meet with her. It's been I think a year and a half since we regularly met with Jackie, but when we recently encountered an issue we were struggling to resolve in a productive way, it felt like a no brainer to reach back out to her for support. I've recommended Jackie to pretty much anyone in my life who has expressed any sort of marital distress in the last couple of years, and I wouldn't hesitate in the slightest to do so again.”

“Wow, what an amazing, inspiring and wonderful therapist. She is so insightful and she can really get to the core, in a good way. She asks questions and I can tell that she really cares about her patients. 10/10, five stars all the way. She is the best!”

“We have met with Jackie over a year now and it is hard to express our gratitude for her. She is a very approachable and patient therapist that has a way of keeping both of us involved / engaged even when it is important for one of us to listen more. She is so intentional in understanding each of us individually, it has been very rewarding and fulfilling to see how our therapy has shifted in our growth. We love getting to meet with Jackie.”

“Jackie is amazing at counseling and extremely knowledgeable. She is a blessing for anyone that is working with her.”

“Jackie is kind and intentional, she has a way of delivering hard truths or helping them seem not too difficult to process. I would recommend Jackie to anyone for individual or couples therapy. She makes her clients feel like they are the most important part of her day and doesn't let time go by without checking in or sending a note.”

“Great insights! She really tried to help our difficult situation. Thank you for your time and ears!”

“Jackie came across as kind, respectful, welcoming, and genuine when we first started meeting with her. She has a wonderful delivery that is to the point but doesn't feel off-putting. She is able to focus our conversations really well and find connections through one example that we can then apply across many areas in our relationship. <br /> <br /> I have most appreciated her reassurance to my partner and myself that we are practicing and we don't have to be perfect but being intentional about practicing our new tools is a show of our love for one another.”

“Extremely helpful, compassionate and respectful.”

“When I first joined ReGain, I was kind of at the end of my rope, and counseling was a last ditch effort to fix something I wasn't sure could be fixed. Jackie has done an incredible job bridging my partner's and my communication gaps, has helped us find more constructive ways to support each other, and strikes a great balance between validating the things that concern us about our relationship while also challenging us to try different approaches. I didn't actually realize how poorly we'd been doing long before we ever considered counseling until I recognized how hopeful I feel now. We've come a really long way in a very short time, and I don't think we'd have even known where to start without Jackie's help.”

“I won the therapist lottery when I was matched with Jackie. She is thoughtful and caring. She listens to me and provides helpful insights that help me become a better version of me. She is well versed and capable of handling a wide variety of issues and has helped me tremendously.”
