Meet Jama: Your Partner in Healing and Transformation

Embarking on life’s journey requires more than just pushing through challenges—it demands that you prioritize your well-being and make self-care a non-negotiable part of your life. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, or relationship issues, it’s never too early to start your healing journey. You don’t need to wait until things feel unbearable—prevention and healing can start now. I’m Jama, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 30 years of experience, and I’m here to support you through whatever you're facing, helping you transform challenges into opportunities for growth.

What I Offer

I offer both virtual and in-person counseling sessions tailored to meet your unique needs. My approach is focused on creating a safe, non-judgmental space where we can work together to uncover patterns that no longer serve you and help you build new, healthier ways of coping. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, or life transitions, I use a variety of therapeutic techniques, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Strength-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy, to help you create meaningful change.

Why Choose Me?

• 30 Years of Experience: With decades of experience working with adults, teens, children, couples, and families, I bring a wealth of knowledge to address a wide range of issues.
• Holistic Approach: I focus on the whole person, working to not only address immediate concerns but also to foster long-term growth and healing.
• Client-Centered Therapy: I deeply believe in the power of collaboration and work to ensure that each session is aligned with your personal goals and needs.
• Compassionate Support: My goal is to be your calming center—offering empathy, mindfulness, and a safe space where you can explore your emotions and begin your journey toward healing.
