Therapists in Hockessin, DE

“The greater the difficulty, the more glory in surmounting it.” I have worked as a clinical psychologist since 2011. Prior to this I received my master’s in clinical health psychology. I have had wonderful opportunities to work in numerous settings to help children and families. I have a vast amount of clinical experience with a range of difficulties including anxiety, depression, and behavioral challenges. In addition to my clinical work, I conduct clinical training for other child therapists as well as serving as a consultant to early childhood providers.

I enjoy working with children and families to address their unique circumstances and challenges. I work with children of all ages, from early childhood through adolescence. I enjoy supporting parents as they manage the ups and downs of parenting children of all ages. I work from a stregnths-based perspective and believe that client motivation to participate actively in therapy is a great indicator of success. I utilize evidence-based treatments including cognitive-behavioral therapy, trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy, and Parent-Child Interaction Therapy to treat anxiety, depression, stress, and challenging behavior.

Now accepting new clients- At times in our lives, we all need help. I'm here to make this an easier process. If you are looking to be treated as an individual and not another "patient" or "number", I offer a caring, non-judgmental, open-minded and experienced approach. My aim is to provide counseling that is person-centered, strength based and tailored to your needs. I also offer Performance MasterMindset Coaching to Performers, Athletes & Business Executives and Career Coaching Services.

The therapy process is a confidential relationship based on mutual respect and trust. The needs of the individual, couple, and family are addressed via traditional and alternative approaches. Dr. Jemail values good listening, kindness, a nonjudgmental approach and draws from the wisdom of research, experience, as well as, common sense. The goal is to promote healing, growth and independence. Therapy via Doxy, FaceTime or phone sessions are an option depending on circumstances. She will provide as needed support out of session. You can call or email Dr. Jemail to discuss your specific needs.

Be proud of your decision to find the right therapist for you! I work with clients from child to adult experiencing a variety of concerns including anxiety, trauma, anger, and depression. I have spent the past 5 years working as a School-Based Therapist. I compassionately and sensitively work to understand the concerns that you have in a safe and non-judgmental environment. We will work to develop and enhance your strength and resiliency, to cope and find success in life.

I feel comfortable bringing my own life experiences into the counseling relationship. This helps me relate to my clients and connect genuinely. I do not see myself as an expert but as an objective helper who can reflect on what the client is going through, provide validation and understanding and then gently challenge clients to change patterns and make changes for progress. I enjoy being a partner with my clients to come up with strategies to manage the challenges they face. We all need a place to feel safe, listened to, and seen. I provide that space for clients and their families.

Staff at Integrative Psychology Group, LLC provide a supportive, collaborative and compassionate approach that will empower and support you in dealing with your unique circumstances. A developmental perspective helps us know where to start. We work with you to understand the relationship between your challenges, emotions, learning and behavior. Are there areas in your life that you are struggling to understand? Have you experienced a death or loss, or have you been diagnosed with a terminal illness? Are your relationships in jeopardy or your family in turmoil? Or maybe you are trying to figure out why you, or your child, are having trouble learning, or maintaining attention. Do you need help with parenting and behavioral management of your child? Do you, or your child, need to be evaluated for ADHD, or a learning disability? Whatever the situation may be, we are here to help. Therapeutic goals are established to address your individual needs; and treatment is both person centered and evidence based.

In my practice, I look to build a strong and trusting rapport with clients. We are then able to work together on identifying potential sources of life stressors as well as strengths. In exploring these areas, clients are able to identify and modify previous patterns of behavior in order to achieve their full potential personally, academically, and/or vocationally.

We are all trying our best, myself included. Somedays, we take small steps forward, and other days we move backward or stay still. I know it takes a lot of courage to decide to come to therapy, to take that step towards facing what gets in the way of living your best life. If you are like most of us, you have already been working hard to get there by reading, listening to podcasts, talking to friends, and searching yourself for the answers. I get it; change is hard and can feel very uncomfortable. Sometimes we need a safe space and a teammate to continue our growth. If you are looking for an ally on your journey, reach out.
