Carolina Counseling Wellness Associates, Led by Jaclyn Fortier, Develops Wellness Program for Safer, Healthier Workplaces
Designed for organizations looking to modernize their internal practices, CCWA's program blends mental health education, leadership development, and partnership-based team structures to help companies foster emotionally safe and mission-aligned work environments.
"Psychological safety in the workplace. How having choice leads to empowerment," says Fortier, founder, counselor, and workplace culture consultant. "That's what this program is all about-creating forward-thinking workplaces where people are not only seen, but truly valued."

A Mission-First Model for Leadership
At the heart of the new wellness program is a call to shift from profit-centered to purpose-centered leadership. Fortier advocates a "mission over money" approach where values like authenticity, collaboration, and emotional intelligence are prioritized over top-down control.
The program equips organizations to:
*
Develop inclusive leadership practices rooted in emotional safety
*
Adopt choice theory models that honor autonomy and shared decision-making
*
Build cultures around mission alignment, where each team member feels connected to the "why" behind the work
*
Reduce burnout and disconnection through clear boundaries and mutual respect
The result is a stronger, healthier team, one that thrives not just in performance metrics, but in long-term human sustainability.
From Clinical Care to Corporate Wellness
With her roots in clinical counseling, Fortier has long understood that emotional well-being is not reserved for therapy rooms; it needs to live inside boardrooms, staff meetings, and leadership training.
As the founder of CCWA, a North Carolina-based mental health and wellness practice, she has built spaces where therapists and clients alike experience safety, support, and a sense of ease as soon as they come through the doors. Now, through her consulting and speaking engagements, she brings those same principles into the workplace for others to share in the wisdom of creating a place of value and alignment for their teams.
Her program integrates:
*
Real-time culture assessments
*
Leadership consulting for values-based decision-making
*
Workshops on psychological safety, emotional regulation, and effective communication
*
Systemic support for embedding mental wellness into company operations
Empowerment Through Structure and Story
The foundation of Fortier's wellness model design is both from clinical insight and lived experience. As a Navy veteran, first-generation college graduate, and experiencing personal adversity, she has spent her career transforming hardship into healing leadership.
This latest initiative draws from that path, encouraging companies to cultivate a culture where every team member has a voice and where policies reflect people, not just performance.
The mission champions the power of:
*
Culture creation as a bridge between leadership and shared team mission
*
Choice-based frameworks that boost morale and internal accountability
*
Partnership-based leadership that grows through respect, not hierarchy
"Workplace culture isn't just a buzzword; it's the daily experience of every human who shows up to serve a mission," says Fortier. "When you lead with empathy and give people choice, you create space for empowerment and innovation."
