Exploring Life & Business with Jasmine Frazier of Cozy Haven Counseling and Wellness

Today we’d like to introduce you to Jasmine Frazier.

Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started?
Whew, where do I start? So, I was born in Atlanta, but raised in Douglasville. When I first went to college, I actually thought I was going to be a nurse (HA!) But a year into school, I realized that path just wasn’t for me, so I ended up switching to social work — and honestly, it was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I went to “THEE Unsinkable Albany State University,” had the best college experience. I graduated with my Bachelors in Social Work in 2018, then I went straight into my Masters, and finished that degree (MSW) in 2021, and got licensed as a master social work (LMSW) in June 2022.

Since earning my BSW, I’ve worked in all kinds of spaces.. I mean foster care, CPS investigations, domestic violence shelters, community mental health, hospital social work, dialysis — you name it. While, I really loved getting a chance to do a little bit of everything, being a therapist ended up being my absolute favorite! I’ve worked with clients from age 5 all the way to 50, and while I always loved working with my kiddos and young adults, everything changed when I had my daughter in November 2021.

After that, I found myself needing my own perinatal therapist to process my pregnancy and own parenting struggles, and that experience honestly shifted everything for me. It made me realize just how much support new moms need — and how little we talk about it. Three years later, I’m now a Perinatal Trauma Therapist and private practice owner, and I can honestly say I’m in love with this work. I know I was called to do it. Every part of my journey, every job I’ve had, and everybody who has either helped me or walked away from me, has shaped me into the social worker and therapist I am today. And I honestly couldn’t be more grateful and proud of that.

Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
Oh man, this road has been anything but smooth. I’ve struggled with imposter syndrome a lot, constantly questioning if I’m really helping my clients or if I’m cut out for this. There were seasons where I literally had no movement in my career, and that was tough. At one point, I felt so overwhelmed by all the ins and outs of running a private practice that I thought, “Maybe this just isn’t for me.” It was hard. It was heartbreaking, honestly. As a business owner and even a therapist, you put so much time, energy, and money into building your business from the ground up, and when it doesn’t seem to be taking off, it can feel devastating. But quitting was never an option for me. I’ve always had this mindset that no matter how tough things get or how many times I feel like giving up, I’m going to figure it out. I’m determined to reach the goals I have for myself and for my daughter. Even when it’s hard, I just keep going.

Thanks – so what else should our readers know about Cozy Haven Counseling and Wellness?
At Cozy Haven Counseling and Wellness, I help new and expecting moms navigate the tough stuff — whether it’s trauma from birth or childhood, anxiety, postpartum depression, or just the messiness of life. I specialize in perinatal mental health and trauma, supporting women through pregnancy, postpartum, parenting fears, and breaking those old patterns from their own childhoods.

What sets me apart? I show up real. With me, there’s no cold therapist voice and no judgment. I believe healing happens when people feel seen, heard, and safe enough to be their messy selves. I’m not the therapist who just nods and takes notes — I’m in the trenches with you. I bring my clinical expertise (trained in EMDR, trauma-focused therapy, and perinatal mental health) and my own lived experience as someone who’s been there. Healing isn’t just about surviving, it’s about learning to thrive and feeling at home in your own skin again.

Brand-wise, I’m most proud that Cozy Haven has become exactly what I wanted it to be: a soft landing spot. A place where clients don’t feel like they have to “perform” or hide parts of themselves just to get help. Whether you’re a new mama terrified you’re messing it all up, someone finally facing their past, or just tired of carrying everything alone — you belong here. I want people to know therapy doesn’t have to be this scary, super clinical thing. It can be a human experience. It can have humor, those “aha” moments, and real connection. That’s what I aim for.

What matters most to you? Why?
What matters most to me is my daughter and how I show up as a woman and a mother for her. I have a 3 year old daughter who is my whole world, and every day she motivates me to keep healing and growing. Being a single mom isn’t easy, but it’s taught me so much about who I am and who I want to be. I’m constantly doing the work to heal from my own stuff, including the trauma from my own sexual assault, the wounds from my own childhood, and all the other experiences that could shape how I show up in this world and to my daughter. I refuse to let my past define me or affect how I show up for her. I’m not chasing perfection though and I stress that we’re all human and make mistakes. I just want to be real, present, and better every day — for her and for myself.
