Therapists in White Hall, WV

Are you feeling stuck, alone, lost? I can help. Everyone struggles with navigating a world that's often unkind, confusing, and overwhelming. I get it, it's hard to be a human. Having lived all over the world & moved 19 times, I know life can be tricky to navigate. Sometimes you need someone from the outside to help you make sense of life's messy stuff. I can. I've worked in prisons, with veterans, mil-families, trauma victims, govt officials, celebrities, moms, dads, college students, people like you and me, just trying to do life. I'm confident that together, we can shift, adjust, adapt and thrive. Breathe, then get unstuck.

Wanting to make positive changes in your life? Ready to overcome limiting beliefs, strengthen self-acceptance, and live more fully in the present moment? I look forward to walking with you on your personal journey to living a more fulfilling life. My name is Jamie Downs and I am a LICSW and Certified Advanced Alcohol and Drug Counselor providing psychotherapy services and individualized addictions counseling to those living in Morgantown, WV and the surrounding areas. Licensed in WV and PA. Telehealth appointments are also available for individuals in both WV and PA.

Therapy is a joint effort of two people to make significant changes in a person's life. I am coming in to session as an expert on change and you are the expert on yourself and the ideal life you want to live. Together we will work to find out what changes you would like to make in your life, and most importantly, how to get you there.

AT STILLWATER, WE PROVIDE COUNSELING, CONSULTING AND ASSESSMENT SERVICES FOR CHILDREN, ADOLESCENTS AND ADULTS. It is our desire to restore, maintain and increase the health and wellbeing of individuals through evidence-based practice, integrating conventional, holistic and faith-based approaches. We strive to offer an approachable, contemplative and encouraging space; an environment supportive of the wellness and healing intrinsic to us all. Stillwater practitioners consider the intricacies of the emotional, cognitive, physical and spiritual self, all essential to the vitality of the whole person.

The longest journey begins with a single step and I am grateful to walk that path with you. It can be frightening and intimidating to begin the process of therapy; however, that experience can help you to make the changes that lead to a happier and more fulfilled life. Through a collaborative and safe relationship I establish with my clients, progress and change is made. Areas of practice include mood disorders, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, men's concerns, and ADHD and cognitive functioning (including testing services). I also enjoy working with clients from adolescents to seniors.

None of my clients are failures or broken because they choose to come to counseling. In fact, I believe everyone grows up learning unspoken rules about what they should and shouldn’t do as a decent human being, when in reality, there’s a lot of rules that simply need to be readjusted. If you're currently struggling with your past, present, or future, let me take some of the burden off your shoulders. I currently am scheduling individual adults, couples, and college students. I especially love to help individuals struggling with relationships issues and folks with low self-esteem/confidence.

I consider myself a neuro-psychotherapist. I enjoy working with people who want to feel differently and are ready for the things that they know are true to feel true. I enjoy working with any age individual. I help facilitate change for those who would like to have the stresses or large events of the past not have so much power and control over them in the present. I work to empower people to feel more grounded in the present and hopeful about the future.

Seeking help takes courage and I’m glad that you’re reaching out for support. Therapy is a collaborative process, and it can provide a safe space to explore and navigate challenging situations and experiences. My hope is to help you along the journey toward greater self-understanding so that you may live a fulfilled, authentic life. My areas of special interest include eating disorders, trauma/PTSD, sport performance, anxiety, and depression.

Are you an athlete or know of an athlete with all of physical ability, but lack the mental ability in the moments that matter? Do you lack the confidence needed to consistently play well in your sport? You may be fed up with the pressure to perform and feeling like you can’t get out of your head. If this is you or someone you know, you are ready to take the next step in your athletic development. You are ready to have the confidence you desire. You are ready to learn the mental strategies that will give you consistent outcomes. Most of all, you’re ready to become the athlete you want to become!

Most people have a natural drive to be independent and self-sustaining. The truth is life is not always easy and it can be difficult to be vulnerable with others. When people use their courage and bravery to reach out, I have nothing but admiration for them. In the dark times of life, we need a place where we can feel understood, genuinely cared about, and supported. I believe that every person is unique, and everyone has different needs. Some times life's difficulties take more time then we would like but I am there to go through it all with you.
