About Vanessa M. Jackson

Vanessa is a Licensed Professional Counselor at The Timothy Center and Clinical Director at Adjuvant Behavior Health. Her personal experience, professional experience, and training make her a great fit for anyone tackling value, purpose, and legacy. She uses DBT, EMDR, and CSAT and specializes in difficult transitions, co-parenting, betrayal trauma, end-of-life care, anxiety, and fear. She holds a Doctorate of Education in Community Care and Counseling with a focus in Traumatology from Liberty University. Her doctoral work emphasizes trauma-informed, community-based care rooted in Christian principles. Her dissertation, The Impact of Church Members on Single Parents in Residential Family Care Systems, explors how church communities play a transformative role in healing and growth. The study found that accountability functions as a conduit for grace, offering individuals a structured, supportive environment where they can receive honest feedback without fear of shame. This dynamic fosters resilience, trust, and lasting personal development. These findings offer practical and powerful insights for the modern church, and care ministries alike, highlighting how grace and accountability, when working together, can foster meaningful spiritual and emotional growth.
