Meet Jamie Given, LMFT

Founder of Preparing Relationships

As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I understand the unique challenges that come with balancing multiple roles — from being a mother and a wife, to running a business. My professional work is deeply influenced by my personal experiences, allowing me to connect with clients on a genuine level. I’m passionate about helping families navigate the transitions of early parenthood, heal generational wounds, and strengthen their relationships. Through Preparing Relationships, I provide practical tools and compassionate support to help families and individuals thrive.
