About Jack
Jack Wildwood, PhD
My name is Jack Wildwood (They/He) and it is a great honor to support folks on their Healing Journeys! I identify as Queer, Trans/Non-Binary, and am half Wampanoag. I have my doctorate in Psychology and am a Clinical Mental Health Counselor that specializes in Trauma and the LGBTQIA2S+ Community. In addition to my education in the Western Therapeutic world I have also apprenticed with Shamanic Practitioners for many years and am certified in Reiki as well as Sound Healing. I also performed my dissertation on the benefits of Chakra Meditation in the Queer Community. The study was able to show that meditation does in fact have significant positive effects on Self-Compassion, Self-Awareness, and Self-Transcendence for Queer identified individuals. I am honored to say that this was the first study of its kind!
Throughout my years of practice it has become clear that therapy in the Western world can only go so far in terms of Healing. This is not to say that Western Therapy cannot be helpful! However, the Mind, Body, Heart, and Spirit deserve and need support in a way that traditional talk therapy just does not make space for.
In my spiritual therapeutic practice I support folks in accessing Healing by helping them to reconnect with their Spirit, Body, and Heart. I encourage folks to meet themselves with compassion and curiosity so they can come Home to themselves. Some of the practices that I bring in to support folks in this reconnecting journey are Energy Work/Reiki, leading folks in a variety of Shamanic Journeys and Guided Meditations, Tarot, Acupressure, and Sound Healing. I specialize in working with Queer individuals, Neurodivergent folks, Partnerships, and anyone who is curious about engaging in the Spiritual and Energetic avenues of healing.
I am Poly positive and informed!

On A Personal Note...
Ever since I could remember I could feel energies. As a young child before I developed the skills of discernment, boundaries, and channeling, my body would shake around various people, places, and things. I was fortunate enough to grow up in a household that never shielded me from the truth of Spirits and energy. So the existence of things was never in question. As I grew older I learned how to embody and maintain protective boundaries around unwanted or intrusive energies and have learned how to channel my gifts so I can be in intentional relationship with energy and can therefore act as a bridge for others.
Some fun facts about me!
- I grew up all over the US and lived in 43 states. My mom was a welder so we traveled where the work went.
-I have Tourettes and have since I was a child :) Instead of allowing this to negatively impact me or my life, I have learned how incorporate and listen to my Tourettes as a form of energy investigation and release. My Tourettes has also informed my practice with working with Neurodivergent folks as well as individuals with disabilities.
-When I am not supporting others I enjoy reading, writing, singing, acting, and dancing!
