Jackson Borchers, Counseling Intern

As an only-child who grew up in a military family and moved a lot, I know what it feels like to be lost and lonely in the world. I hope these experiences will allow us to form a therapeutic relationship with empathy and understanding at the core.

In addition to a person-centered approach, I tend to integrate some cognitive behavioral strengths and acceptance based strategies into my practice. Above all, I radiate optimism and belief in the person who sits across from me in the therapy room. I want to help you achieve what you desire, find meaning, and be a light along your path.

I am new to Baltimore, and have only lived here for a year, so I am hoping to learn from my clients as much as possible about life in Baltimore and the unique struggles and joys the city may bring. I hope to develop as a culturally humble practitioner and engage in a continual learning process.

Finally, I personally come from a religious background and understand the importance of religion or spiritual ties within therapy. While I do not integrate religion and spirituality into every client’s treatment plan, if this is something that is important to you, I will happily work with you to validate and understand your religious background in terms of treatment.
