She is actively engaged in shaping the conversation about social justice and cultural competency among mental health professionals.

Dr. Jackman is the Founder & Owner of Innovative Psychological Services (InnoPsych), a thriving solo practice in the metro-Boston area. After launching InnoPsych 12 years ago, Dr. Jackman quickly realized the necessity of having a diversified income stream.

Dr. Jackman offers business development coaching and marketing support to clinicians who are poised to launch or grow their private practices.
