About Drew
Drew Jackson is a licensed mental health counselor who believes therapy is a collaborative process built on trust, authenticity, and mutual investment. His approach emphasizes meeting clients where they are, without judgment, while providing practical skills that empower them to thrive, not just cope. Known for his honesty, humor, and willingness to gently challenge clients, Drew strives to create a supportive environment that encourages meaningful growth and lasting change.
Drawing from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), mindfulness, sport psychology, and holistic health practices, Drew tailors treatment to each individual's unique needs and goals. His areas of focus include emotional regulation, trauma, men's mental health, eating-related behaviors, and the connection between physical and psychological well-being.
Drew is particularly passionate about working with individuals navigating high-pressure environments or significant life transitions. He believes that meaningful progress comes from developing self-awareness, building resilience, and applying practical strategies that support long-term mental health and overall well-being.

Special Clinical Interest
Drew believes mental health is deeply connected to physical well-being and that meaningful growth comes from understanding and strengthening both. His philosophy centers on helping individuals build practical skills, develop self-awareness, and create sustainable changes that improve their quality of life.
As a former collegiate athlete, Drew brings a unique perspective on resilience, performance, teamwork, and overcoming adversity. He values authenticity, humor, and genuine human connection, believing therapy should feel like a collaborative conversation rather than a clinical checklist.
Outside of counseling, Drew enjoys staying active through fitness, hiking, snowboarding, and outdoor recreation. He strives to practice the same balance, personal growth, and healthy living that he encourages in his clients.
