Hi, I'm Jahayra Bacon
With over 12 years of mental health experience and over a decade in the medical field, I work with individuals, couples, and groups motivated for personal growth and change in their lives, precipitated by a diverse range of concerns. I count myself lucky to love my job and feel honored to be allowed into the lives of the individuals and couples who trust me in their journey.
From as far back as I can remember, I’ve always been drawn to helping others. It’s not just what I do; it’s who I am. I believe healing begins when we feel truly heard, when we are given space to be vulnerable, and when we know we are not alone. My goal is to provide that space—a place where you can share your story, process your emotions, find the strength to move forward with hope, and simply feel like you can just breathe.
My passion for mental health was shaped by my upbringing in a military family. I saw firsthand how invisible wounds, like PTSD and trauma, impacted soldiers returning home—how their struggles rippled through their families, changing the lives of those they loved. I volunteered in a military substance abuse program and with an organization that paired veterans with service dogs, and these experiences solidified my dedication to supporting others through life’s hardest moments.
But my journey into this work became deeply personal when I faced my own struggles with infertility and loss. I endured multiple losses, endless medical treatments, and moments where hope felt impossible. I experienced the loneliness, feelings of failure, the self-doubt, the grief, the anxiety—the overwhelming feeling of being unseen in my pain. And I came to understand just how isolating infertility and loss can be, especially when there are so few people who truly grasp the emotional toll it takes.
This is why I am especially passionate about supporting individuals facing infertility, grief, trauma, and life transitions. I know the weight of these struggles, and I also know that healing is possible. You don’t have to navigate this journey alone. Whether you’re facing heartbreak, uncertainty, or simply looking for someone who understands, I am here to help you find clarity, resilience, and a way forward.
If you’re ready to take the first step toward emotional wellness, I’d be honored to walk alongside you.
