Hello
I wanted to take this time and space to give you a little deeper insight into who I am and why I do what I do. It isn't just a job for me, it's a calling and my passion.
Here's the Story...
Chaconna Downs uses her love for Christ and the gift of encouragement as the dynamic duo for therapy and ministry. Coming from a large but close-knit family only fueled her passion and created a desire to see broken people and families restored, healed, and made whole. In 2012 she earned her Master of Social Work from Asbury University.
Relocation to Daytona Beach birthed her first published book, Simple Sayings: Sprinkles of Encouragement. A new job in child welfare would be the catapult Chaconna needed to assess the needs of her community. After spending almost four years in safety services and prevention, Chaconna knew her talents would be best used by returning to therapy. Currently, she serves as a Lead outpatient therapist for Chrysalis Health and recently launched her private practice, C. Jaqis Enterprises LLC. Chaconna is blessed to share her gifts in Central Florida and abroad through therapy, books, blogging, public speaking, and advocacy.
​
When it comes to therapy, Chaconna uses an integrative approach to tailor treatment plans to her client's specific needs. She also believes in treating the whole person and not just the problem. She is passionate about seeing people thrive and become the best version of themselves. Chaconna enjoys working with clients who are ready to transform their lives, aren't afraid to have difficult conversations, and do the work to confront the issues. Along with evidence-based practices, you can expect honesty, insight, encouragement, and challenges to help push you to the next level.
