Hi, I’m Jacque Tyrrell, LCSW-C

I specialize in anxiety and perimenopause, helping women navigate the anxiety, self-doubt, and emotional changes that can make it harder to feel like themselves. I’ve spent my career helping people work through difficult seasons of life, and I know that sometimes the things that once helped us succeed can eventually leave us feeling stuck.

I'm interested in helping you understand what's happening without turning it into another thing you need to fix about yourself. In our work together, we'll look at the expectations you live by, the habits that keep your mind on high alert, and why it's so difficult to give yourself the same understanding you might readily offer someone else.

My style is direct and practical. I won't give you a generic list of ways to manage stress or tell you to practice better self-care when what you really need is to understand why switching off feels so difficult in the first place. We'll focus on what's keeping you stuck and what meaningful change looks like in your actual life.

You can care about your work, have high standards, and take pride in what you do without constantly evaluating yourself. And you deserve support when anxiety or perimenopause makes life feel harder than it used to.

Outside of work, I'm usually spending time with family and friends, traveling, or exploring one of my many hobbies. I also have three cats—Zero, Rouge, and Sheba—and a serious love of horror movies and spooky season.

I believe there should be room in life for both the serious stuff and the things that make you laugh. Therapy is meaningful work, but that doesn’t mean it has to feel stiff or formal. I want you to feel comfortable showing up as yourself.

My Approach

My clients often say they feel understood and challenged in the right ways. In our work, you can expect a space where your experiences are taken seriously, and you’re also gently pushed to look at patterns that may no longer be helping you.

Sessions are structured but flexible, meaning we stay focused on what matters most to you while also making room for what comes up in the moment. You’ll leave with concrete ideas to try between sessions, so therapy feels useful in your day-to-day life rather than something that only exists in the therapy room.

More About Me

Overall, I have 10 years combined experience working within the human service field as an agent of change.
