Jacklyn Byrd

My name is Jacklyn, and I am a therapist at Grounded Wellbeing. I am a white queer transfeminine professional counselor licensed in the state of Georgia with experience working with adolescents and adults. I am honored you are considering working with me. I am passionate about radicalizing mental health.

My job is to hear you and witness your story. Know that you are not alone. Together we can support you in reconnecting to your body and feeling more safe in the world. We will embark on this journey together to get you from surviving to thriving.

I enjoy working with individuals who are queer, trans, neurodiverse, polyamorous, and/or chronically ill who are curious about addressing the ways that trauma may be showing up in their lives and relationships. Trauma is an experience that most of us have and I center it in all the work I do. I am motivated to serve my community by merging my clinical expertise and lived experience. This looks like a focus on work with trans people. I believe strongly that trans clients deserve trans clinicians.

In our first few sessions, I am most concerned about the relationship and container we are building together. My clients find this process to be life-giving and restorative. I often use somatic therapies in my practice. We work together over many sessions to deepen your awareness of your mind-body connection while increasing your ability to remain present. This is an individualized journey we embark on together!

I’m also interested in somatic sex education, and am currently working on my certification!
