Jacy Hargrave is a clinical mental health counselor and clinical supervisee who provides therapy to children, adolescents, adults, and families. She has developed a particular focus on working with younger children, especially children under age 12, including those with ADHD, autism spectrum disorder, behavioral concerns, emotional regulation difficulties, anxiety, and related developmental or adjustment needs. She also works closely with parents to help them better understand their child’s needs, strengthen effective parenting strategies, and support positive changes at home.
Jacy earned her Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from McKendree University. Prior to completing her graduate training, she gained clinical experience in a university counseling center working primarily with college-aged young adults, along with practicum experience serving older adults. Her current work has increasingly centered on children and families, where she has shown a strong interest in taking on complex cases and continuing to build her skills in child and family treatment.
Jacy practices under the direct clinical supervision of Dr. Jackie Jiang, PsyD, Licensed Clinical Psychologist, while completing the requirements toward independent licensure. She is a hardworking, highly motivated clinician who is eager to learn, receptive to supervision, and willing to work with challenging presentations. Within the practice, she is one of the clinicians who works most extensively with younger children and their parents.
Jacy’s therapeutic approach is warm, developmentally appropriate, and especially well suited to younger children and their families. She primarily uses play-based therapy to help children express emotions, communicate experiences, build coping skills, and work through behavioral and emotional concerns in ways that feel natural and engaging for their developmental level. She also works collaboratively with parents and caregivers, recognizing that meaningful progress with younger children often depends on consistent support and strategies outside of the therapy session.
Jacy incorporates a variety of child- and family-focused treatment methods, including:

She supports young adults with concerns such as anxiety, depression, ADHD-related difficulties, stress, adjustment to college and adulthood, interpersonal concerns, self-esteem, emotional regulation, and identity or self-exploration.
