Create Your Life From Intention

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

Build 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 wellness spaces. I’ve built my life around one belief: strength is something we can design.

My journey began in the military and evolved through years of building counseling centers, wellness programs, and spaces where people can heal. Along the way, I learned that the same principles of architecture apply to emotional well-being — structure, intention, and design matter.

As the founder of Carolina Counseling & Wellness and a national mental health CE trainer, I help people find their way to building their own path to wellness.

Every offering I create is grounded in empowerment, awareness, and intentional design. Whether you’re an individual seeking clarity, a leader building emotional intelligence in your team, or a community ready for real dialogue, these experiences help you reconnect to your own story and rewrite it.

The Story Architecture Framework
Every breakthrough begins with a blueprint.
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.

My work on creating psychological safety in leadership and building mental wellness spaces has been featured in multiple publications and podcasts. My passion bridges the science of psychology with the art of intentional living.

Essays on mental wellness, empowerment, and designing a meaningful life

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.

Let’s design what’s next, together.

Whether you’re exploring one-on-one counseling, community trainings, or collaborative wellness projects, this is where our conversation begins.
