I’m Jaclyn Fortier, an Empowerment Architect and visionary counselor who helps people design the lives, environments, and mindsets they dream of. My work bridges inner transformation and outer creation, combining psychology, storytelling, and design thinking to turn adversity into architecture.
Whether I’m guiding a client through narrative therapy, designing a wellness retreat, or speaking to a room of future leaders, my message is simple. Your dreams are blueprints, waiting to be built.
Hi, I’m Jaclyn Fortier, a licensed counselor, visionary, and designer of wellness and retreat 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 retreat environments where people rediscover themselves. Along the way, I learned that the same principles of architecture apply to emotional wellbeing — structure, intention, and design matter.
As the founder of Carolina Counseling & Wellness and a creative strategist for individuals and organizations, I help people write new narratives of empowerment that align purpose with possibility.
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.
Jaclyn’s work on empowerment, leadership, and mental wellness has been featured in multiple publications and podcasts. Her voice bridges the science of psychology with the art of intentional living. She is a sought-after contributor on emotional design, workplace wellbeing, and conscious leadership.
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.
Whether you’re exploring one-on-one counseling, community talks, or collaborative wellness projects, this is where our conversation begins.
