My name is Jackie Viola. I was a therapist at Mandarin Counseling from 2007 until 2014. I left to pursue full-time employment. However I am happy to announce that as of April 2016 I will be back at Mandarin Counseling part-time. I have two children in elementary school which gives me first hand knowledge of the joys and challenges of parenthood. My passion is to advocate for children and help them work through the issues that life throws at us. We don't have to let stress overtake us, however sometimes it takes time to find the right path. We must look within ourselves to find out what is causing stress in our lives and recognize any patterns that continue to create the stress in order to develop a plan of action.

Mission: To help others improve their quality of life. Experienced with counseling adults, adolescents, and children in group settings, and on an individual basis. I have counseled people from all walks of life and possess the ability to connect with others to produce positive results.
