Meet Jaki
Hi, I’m Jaki Neering, LCSW-QS
I’m a trauma-informed therapist who is passionate about creating safe, affirming spaces where people can feel seen, supported, and empowered. My work is holistic and somatic, helping clients reconnect with their emotions, bodies, and inner wisdom.
Since 2017, I’ve worked closely with LGBTQIA+ individuals and families, offering care that is affirming, compassionate, and grounded in respect for each person’s unique experience.
I honor the many ways we learn to survive and gently support people in letting go of what no longer serves them.
I believe healing is not only possible—it is a profound act of reclamation. You deserve the space to begin.

My Approach
Casual, collaborative, and deeply affirming
It is important to me that you feel seen and heard. Together we create a space where you can safely explore your experiences, reconnect with yourself, and move toward healing at your own pace.
I have a knack for truly seeing people while honoring their inherent worth. I normalize survival strategies and understand how trauma shapes the ways we learn to navigate the world. My work is grounded in the belief that everyone can rediscover their inherent worth and reconnect with their authentic Self. Through mindfulness, somatic awareness, body-based practices, trauma-informed care, and IFS-informed work, I help clients foster resilience, self-compassion, and personal empowerment.

Areas of Focus
Where my work goes deep
Gender-Affirming Therapy
I have proudly served the LGBTQIA+ community since 2017. I understand the trauma of suppression and the healing power of authenticity, congruence, and self-expression.
Trauma-Informed Care
Complex trauma is often overlooked and minimized, yet its impact reaches every aspect of our lives. I provide care through a trauma-informed lens that honors survival while supporting healing.
Somatic Healing
Body-based approaches help reconnect mind and body, creating opportunities for deeper healing, regulation, and self-understanding.
Internal Family Systems (IFS)
IFS helps people develop a deeper relationship with themselves by understanding the different parts that make up their internal world. This compassionate, non-pathologizing approach supports healing, self-leadership, and lasting emotional change.
It’s okay to take the first step gently.
