    Welcome

    Are you experiencing increased stress, fatigue, burnout, or overwhelm?

    Believe it or not, resilience led you here! I would like to commend you for taking the first step towards reclaiming the life you desire and deserve. In my experience, the first step can often be the hardest, but your feelings, worries and fears are safe here.

    Meet Jocelyn!

    Welcome to Greater Resilience Counseling! My name is Jocelyn Alston and I am a licensed clinical social worker with over 8 years of behavioral health experience working with adults and families. In 2009 I obtained a Master of Social Work and Public Affairs from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. I am passionate about strong healthy families and it starts with healthy caregivers! I specialize in working alongside women and caregivers to support you in navigating and balancing the rewards and unique challenges that come with caring for your loved ones. For many of my clients, it can be an internal struggle to prioritize your needs. It can feel like you are doing your best, but your best does not feel good enough. Whether you are caring for aging parents, a chronically-ill family member, or a child with special needs, I am here to help you on your journey.

    My clinical work utilizes a systems and strengths-based approach to support the total health and overall needs of my clients. I incorporate frameworks based in cognitive behavioral therapy, solution-focused brief therapy, motivational interviewing and mindfulness to support your goals towards a healthier and more fulfilled you. My social work experience includes work in community-based services, private practice, as well as managed care settings.

    You can feel empowered with the tools and support to take charge of YOUR life. I offer my clients a safe, supportive, culturally affirming, and judgement-free environment to explore and uncover the stumbling blocks that have gotten in your way.

    If you are ready to seek the care you need and deserve, take that next step and reach out by phone or email today. I look forward to championing you on your journey towards greater resilience.

    “Perfectionism is a self destructive and addictive belief system that fuels this primary thought: If I look perfect, and do everything perfectly, I can avoid or minimise the painful feelings of shame, judgment, and blame.”

    “Somehow we’ve come to equate success with not needing anyone. Many of us are willing to extend a helping hand, but we’re very reluctant to reach out for help when we need it ourselves. It’s as if we’ve divided the world into “those who offer help” and “those who need help.” The truth is that we are both.”
