Jaclyn Fortier, LCMHCS
I am the founder of Carolina Counseling Wellness Associates. I provide clinical mental health care for individuals recovering from PTSD and domestic violence, clinical supervision, and mentorship to our associates.
I have been a counselor since 2008 and have witnessed the professional growth of our field and how mental health care has evolved is encouraging. I have been inspired at how much has changed in mental health care access, such as insurance coverage and increased accessibility. The efforts to reduce stigma for mental health has been getting national attention. We still have a lot more to do and we are dedicated at CCWA to be a mission focused group, demonstrating the benefits that mental health care can provide.
My mission is to help end the mental health stigma and provide a place for healing in our community. Learn more about our story here.
