Ally Jackson

ADMISSIONS DIRECTOR

Ally has worked in admissions and outreach roles for respected residential and wilderness therapy programs since 2013. She holds a bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Utah Valley University and served for four years as a Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) for abused and neglected children.

Parents often find comfort in Ally’s calm, compassionate presence during moments of acute stress. Having gone through treatment herself as a teen, she brings uncommon empathy to her conversations with families. Her warmth, clarity, and deep understanding help parents feel supported as they take the first step toward stability.

“It’s an honor to walk alongside parents as they make incredibly difficult decisions for their child. I never take that trust lightly.”

Outside of work, Ally enjoys practicing yoga, spending time with her family and friends, and doting on her dog, Sadie—and her four nieces, who proudly call her their favorite aunt.
