Jax Anderson is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 20 years of clinical experience helping people understand one simple truth: you’re not broken, your nervous system is just doing exactly what it was trained to do. She specializes in women’s emotional health, perimenopause, nervous system regulation, and working with teens and parents — with a particular passion for helping women unlearn the conditioning that taught them to shrink, apologize, and call their rage a “mood.” Spoiler: it’s data.

Her approach blends solid clinical grounding with straight talk and humor. Clients often describe working with Jax as having a funny best friend who happens to know a lot about polyvagal and somatic 

theory. A former athlete and coach, she brings that same energy to therapy: honest feedback, real strategy, and the unwavering belief that you’re capable of more than surviving on autopilot. She won’t sugarcoat things, but she will sit with you in the hard stuff — and probably make you laugh while you’re there.

Outside the therapy room, Jax runs The Emotional Health Project, creates mental health content that reaches thousands of women online, and is a vocal advocate for her community. She believes emotional health shouldn’t require a diagnosis, a waitlist, or permission — and that once you see how the systems around you shaped you, you can’t unsee it. That’s where the good work begins.
