Create Your Life From Intention

I’m Jaclyn Fortier, a licensed counselor, counseling education trainer, and mental health advocate.

Building Your Life From Clarity, Courage, and Creativity

From military life to mental health care, I love helping others build their inner strength, find freedom and safety, create healing spaces, and write their life story from a place of empowerment.

Hi, I’m Jaclyn Fortier, a licensed counselor, counseling trainer, and designer of community wellness centers. I’ve built my life around one belief: healing is something we can design.

My journey began in the military and evolved through years of building counseling wellness programs and spaces where people can heal.

Write Your Story. Build Your Foundation

Rewrite Your Story. Rebuild Your Foundation.

Through narrative therapy, I help clients explore the stories they tell themselves and create new ones rooted in strength and possibility.

The Story Architecture Framework

Every breakthrough begins with a blueprint.

The Story Architecture Framework is my signature process that integrates empowerment-based counseling with design thinking. It guides clients through four steps: Awareness, Vision, Design, and Build. Each phase helps align their internal narrative with the external life they’re creating. It’s therapy, yes. But more than that, it’s emotional engineering.

Writing is where I express what I see, feel, and believe. Each piece is a reflection of how we can transform everyday moments into lessons in strength, compassion, and creativity. I write for joy, not for profit, and for connection, not clicks. My essays are published across LinkedIn and community wellness platforms.
