Meet Dr. Phelps:
Your Partner in Healing and Growth
From classrooms to communities, Dr. Jacqueline Phelps has been equipping people to overcome challenges and find purpose for more than a decade.f
I truly believe we all deserve to live a happy, thriving, empowered, and loving life. It is my passion to help people achieve their dreams and take powerful steps forward as they achieve their deepest desires.
It’s this passion that led me to pursue education and a career that is focused on helping others. I believe that we all have callings in life and that my purpose is to be of service to others.
You're not looking for another expert who talks at you from an ivory tower. You need someone who understands your struggles because she's walked through them herself.
Dr. Jacqueline Phelps, MPH., Ed. S., Ed.D. PH. D., Certified Life Core Therapist, isn't just a counselor with impressive credentials—though she has those too. She's a woman who has faced her own grief journey and emerged with both professional expertise and hard-won wisdom about what actually helps people heal.
"We can’t avoid grief, but we can
learn to walk through it —
together. You are never alone.”
Her Story Shapes Her Practice
When Dr. Phelps faced her own devastating loss, she discovered that healing required more than clinical techniques—it demanded faith, community, and someone who truly understood the journey. This experience shaped her entire approach to counseling and inspired her book "Sharing the Weight of Grief: The Dos and Don'ts of Faith-Based Grief Support."
Her personal journey through grief, combined with over 20 years of professional experience, gives her a unique ability to meet you exactly where you are and guide you to where you want to be.
