Jay Serrano has in-community experience working with adults re-adjusting back into society, overcoming mental, physical, and emotional disabilities. In the PHP setting, Jay developed extensive experience working with children and adolescents, providing group, individual and family therapy. Jay's accumulation of skills has strengthened experience working with adults and children working through depression, anxiety, trauma, ADHD, ODD, parenting challenges, middle-age/late-age life transitions, cultural conflicts, LGBTQ+ conflicts, and Autism. Through an eclectic application of a person-centered and nurtured approach
that encourages clients to build a safe and welcoming environment, Jay will meet the client where they are at in their treatment. Jay will work with clients to increase awareness and recognize patterns that will help reinforce strong coping mechanisms to challenge negative self-talk, impulsivity, and decision making.
