Welcome to SupportiveSteps!
At SupportiveSteps, I recognize that every individual is unique and has their own set of needs and goals. I am dedicated to providing my clients with personalized services to help them reach their goals in a safe and supportive environment.
A little bit about me...
My name is Jacelyn Giacobbo and I hold a Master's degree in Counselling Psychology. I have over 10 years of experience working with children, adolescents, families, and school teams. My background includes previous experience as a Registered Psychologist in Canada, performing psychoeducational, academic, and functional assessments, behavioural consultation, threat/risk assessment, and parenting support in efforts to help children/adolescents and their families build the skills necessary to be successful in school and at home. During my years working in schools, I have realized the importance of connection and relationships with everyone I work with. I come from a neuro-affirming, strength-based perspective, where I hope to foster collaboration and success.
I am so excited to begin my journey here in Georgia with families and schools!
I can't wait to meet you!
Testimonials
"Jacelyn is compassionate about and understands how important it is to connect with each of the individuals she supports and works with. She takes her experience in assessments, as a registered psychologist [in Alberta, Canada], and walks her clients through the reports … helping them understand the diagnoses, supporting them as they discern and navigate next steps and journeying with them as they advocate for their child’s learning needs with the school….walking with them through the challenges and celebrations."
-Eleanor Heesing, Famiyl Wellness Worker at Elk Island Catholic Schools-
"Jacelyn has been a lifesaver as I navigate not only the very complicated world of filling out the Katie Beckett Waiver, but also in helping to empower me to advocate for my child’s needs while helping me prepare for an IEP meeting. She has provided me with ongoing advocacy support as I communicate with my child’s teacher and school to discuss my current questions and concerns with virtual and in person sessions. In one of our in person sessions she sat with me to review, analysis and assist me in revising my child’s IEP. Everyone should have someone that is as knowledgeable, reliable and understanding of their individual needs as Jacelyn is! I am so grateful to have found her!"
