About Jacqueline Schatz
Jacqueline Schatz MA, EDM, LMFT
As a psychotherapist, dating coach and relationship expert, I have been successfully helping people for 20 years. I work collaboratively and actively to develop individualized, unique strategies for each client. I provide a safe and comfortable space in which you can say anything, even things you have never been able to talk about before.
Clients have told me that they find me accessible, insightful and kind. I am honest and direct, yet always approach people’s most personal details with kindness and compassion. Often, we even laugh together. I take great care to personalize therapy or coaching to each client. Over the years, I have worked with many people who, through our work together, have moved into the life, success and relationships they desire.
What I have found is that the people I work with do not have time to waste. I like to help my clients quickly gain the insight, tools and roadmap they need to solve their difficulties.
Like you, I have struggled and I have been single. I get it. It can feel so lonely and painful to be suffering with the things you do not have or the things that are going wrong in your life. Having losses that you cannot control or insecurities that are difficult to quell, can become huge obstacles to happiness and success.
Becoming a therapist was a natural path for me. I have been highly attuned to relationships since I was young, when I watched the demise of my parents' marriage. Their divorce shattered my world. I wanted to learn how to do things differently.
As a student of relationships, I eventually learned how to achieve my own happy relationship with the love of my life. As someone married with children, I know both the joys and challenges of being in a committed, long-term relationship and raising children together.
I use my personal and professional experiences, my super-power intuition, and of course my extensive education and training to help my clients find the happiness they seek and to achieve their most important goals. I want to help you move through your struggles to create the life, happiness and success you have always wanted.
