Teletherapy for 10010

I approach counseling from a practical, client-centered approach. I believe in meeting people where they are at, setting attainable therapeutic goals, and fostering intentional self-exploration. My experience with clients focuses on changing behavioral patterns, dealing with interpersonal issues, exploring new coping skills, and addressing symptoms of depression and anxiety. I have worked facilitating group therapy for people diagnosed as HIV+, as well as individual counseling for LGBT+ people. I have a history of working with people experiencing substance use from both abstinence and harm reduction approaches.

I am experienced and passionate about treating a range of disorders including depression, anxiety, ADHD, learning disorders and individuals with high functioning autism. I am particularly focused on helping individuals improve their self esteem. Whether it be for my passion for changing the stigma on men’s mental health, working performance anxiety in athletes at the highest level of their sports or helping high functioning individuals on the autism spectrum overcome their social anxiety and improve their communication with peers.

Who am I? What am I doing with my life? Why am I having such a hard time? Many of my clients are searching for their place in the world and struggling with big and small questions alike. They might be exploring themselves and their spirituality, or they might be having trouble coping with anxiety or handling relationship issues. My belief is that all questions- large and small- are worth exploring thoughtfully. My goal is to help clients gain a deeper sense of insight and purpose while doing so.

Interrogating your thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and relationships to improve your quality of life requires bravery and commitment. I honor this bravery and commitment by creating a therapeutic environment where you’re fully accepted as your whole, authentic self so you can achieve long-term healing and change. My therapeutic work engages a wide range of clients, but I specialize in working with teens and young adults moving through relationship issues, grief, depression, or anxiety.

As a counselor, I aim to be a mirror for you to help you understand your thoughts, process your feelings, and see your patterns. Through building awareness of ourselves in a nonjudgmental place, we can learn to accept ourselves and make the changes we want to see. I value collaborating with clients to build self-esteem, manage stress during challenges or transitions, and create healthier relationships. Common focuses include self-esteem, adjustment, communication, empathy training, strength identification, coping skills, trauma, stress management and career/school issues.

Everyone has the potential to make life-affirming changes. However, many of us move through our lives relying on unhealthy coping mechanisms. Learning to pause and reframe our responses to difficult situations can create better outcomes, deeper relationships, and more life satisfaction. You bring a unique sense of self determination into the therapeutic space. Using a strengths-based perspective, we’ll build upon the gifts you already possess to bust through the patterns of thinking and behavior keeping you from accomplishing your goals.

Therapy offers us a powerful space for reflection, healing, and liberation, but, just like life, it’s not always an easy process. I’m here to be your ally through every step of this journey, to make your therapy as smooth, supportive, and helpful for you as possible. Above all else, I aim to cultivate a space of openness and peace, where you feel not only seen and valued for who you are, but also heard and supported for what you’re going through. No topic is off-limits – seriously – I’m here for it all!

I strive to create a welcoming, empathetic relationship that promotes understanding, respect, and solutions to life issues. My hope in session is that our time be rooted in mutual respect and filled with a zest for knowledge and inclusive care. I support individuals as they navigate life’s challenges and transitions, improve thought patterns, and develop productive strategies that support the attainment and maintenance of your personal goals.

I have found that my top skill sets lie in working with children, teens, and adults within individual, group, and couples therapeutic settings. I help individuals who are struggling with anxiety, stress, LGBTQIA+ navigation, life transitions, and other obstacles in life we all face.

I am a psychotherapist who will work in partnership with you to help you find happiness and fulfillment in life that you deserve. I practice in a supportive, sensitive, collaborative way. I listen, coach, and sometimes challenge you, always respecting you as an individual. You may feel stuck, embarrassed about your life circumstances, lost and not know what is eating away at you. This is normal and together we will uncover ways to resolve these and other uncomfortable feelings.

I believe that we all struggle, at times, to cope with difficult feelings. You know, the ones that have been with us all our lives? The ones that make us feel stuck and hopeless at times? I also believe that we can make some sense out of our feelings by examining past relationships. With this awareness we can begin to look at your current feelings and relationships. In a non-judgmental environment, come as you are. We will approach this together.

As a licensed clinical social worker with extensive experience working with diverse populations and issues, I believe that every individual can achieve a more authentic understanding of themselves, their background, the more challenging aspects of their lives, as well as identifying positive attributes and assets. Through the use of a diverse set of treatment strategies and via an intersectional lens which acknowledges systemic impacts, my clients are able to set achievable objectives and goals, moving forward in life with a better understanding of themselves and the environment around them.

You are not alone in your struggles. In a world that often stigmatizes therapy as something only 'crazy' people do, it's crucial to recognize that seeking help is a brave and empowering choice. Quality therapy has the power to transform your life in ways you may never have imagined. It's an investment in yourself—a step towards reclaiming control over your feelings, relationships, and future. If you're tired of feeling like external forces dictate your emotions, walking on eggshells in your relationships, being overly critical of yourself, or feeling trapped by your past, therapy can offer a path towards healing and growth.

I deeply believe in every individual's potential to grow, change, and solve problems. Using several approaches to tailor therapy to each client, we work together to achieve more self-compassion, awareness, and understanding. This team effort is applied to best cultivate the most effective and efficient ways to reach all goals.

Seeking out therapy is a sign of strength and you deserve a safe place for discovery. Ultimately therapy is a journey of exploration. I strive to create a therapeutic environment where you genuinely feel understood, heard, and seen in a compassionate, non-judgmental space. Our work together can explore and navigate through your concerns to reach a more meaningful and fulfilling life while reaching your extraordinary potential.

As a social worker psychotherapist, I have been trained to address not just your immediate symptoms, but also all of the various other factors that may be involved—family structure, past experiences, spirituality, bodily health, and systemic issues, to name a few. There are so many unique and important pieces that have come together to affect your experience of the world; they deserve to be acknowledged!

In an increasingly demanding and fast-paced world, life can sometimes feel overwhelming, uncertain, and urgent. Counseling can provide a safe space and environment to explore these challenges, decisions, and emotions. Counseling sessions can empower individuals and cultivate personal growth. Jeremy believes every individual has great potential and can achieve whatever they’re looking for, given appropriate opportunities and a supportive environment that encourages self-discovery and self-acceptance.

In a world filled with so many stressors, everyone deserves a safe space to process and explore ways to feel better. Often times, it is people and situations that we encounter daily that cause us to feel sad or anxious, and having a supportive therapist to talk with can actually make life more meaningful and enjoyable.

So many of us desire to feel more connected, less anxious, and less alienated, but we simply do not know how to achieve this reality. This is especially true for some of us who have experienced attachment disruptions, or even more severe forms of trauma. Or, perhaps we see a path forward, but that path vanishes suddenly without warning and is replaced by malaise and renewed uncertainty, or, even worse, despair. Our work together will focus on developing that path in such a way where it will endure even in the face of adversity and the intrusion of the past into the present.
