Alfaye Jackson, LPC

Alfaye Jackson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Missouri with 17 years of professional experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, addictions, anger, bipolar disorder, and depression. She creates an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can share thoughts and feelings while working toward clear goals and practical strategies. Her approach blends evidence-based techniques such as cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused methods with mindfulness practices, motivational interviewing, and client-centered care to tailor treatment to each person’s needs.

In addition to individual therapy, Alfaye offers group and couples counseling and draws on complementary methods including cognitive processing therapy, humanistic approaches, and faith-informed interventions when appropriate. Her style is warm and caring without enabling - she emphasizes accountability and supports clients as they learn new skills and move toward greater stability and wellbeing. She attends to co-occurring concerns and complex presentations, and she works with issues ranging from attachment and personality-related challenges to substance use, domestic violence, family conflict, hoarding, mood disorders, and veteran-related concerns.

Outside of her clinical work, Alfaye is the founder and CEO of H.O.P.E. Inc, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit she has led for 14 years. The organization provides housing, education, and training for homeless youth, at-risk youth, and youth in need while offering outreach ministry to those in need. Her personal faith and family are central to her life; she cites a close relationship with Jesus Christ and the pride she takes in her son as guiding influences. As a counselor she values the trust clients place in her and strives to bring ethical, prepared, and evidence-informed care to each session.
