Hello, my name is Jason Nerio, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. My approach to providing mental health services is by first creating a safe, compassionate, and non-judgmental environment while working through your journey of healing, and growth. I have experience working with a wide range of clients and families, all with different needs and presenting problems including trauma, anxiety, depression, behavioral/emotional disturbance, family conflict, life transitions, among many others.

Life gets difficult. -Our distress may make us uncomfortable, overwhelmed, anxious, angry, sad or depressed. -Maybe we have experienced job loss, a big move, had a significant relationship end, or experienced a major shift, change, or transition in our life. -Really, we want to feel "better" and "happier", but how do we get there? Short-term counseling or coaching can help, while sometimes we needed to address deeper pain and patterns in long-term psychotherapy. Each of us is different, but maybe you found your way here because you are ready to let go, ready to grow, and ready for something new, different, and better for your life.

If you find yourself with anxiety, feeling down on yourself, overthinking, and doubting your decisions or life path, we can work together to find confidence, joy, and peace of mind.

Yet, anxiety, stress, baggage, and self-doubt have gotten in the way. I'm here to provide a safe, non-judgmental space for your healing, growth and self-exploration.
