Every person is important. Every person deserves to be respected. Every person deserves to be heard. I want my clients to develop a strong sense of identity and confidence in their own abilities. I have gained an appreciation for people and their needs regardless of their backgrounds due to having years of experience working in various settings such as corporate America for a Fortune 100 company as well as an established mental health organization. Along with this, I have extensive experience traveling internationally and was raised in a family of several mental health professionals.

Out of suffering have emerged the strongest souls; the most massive characters are seared with scars.`` - Khalil Gibran My ideal clients are willing to look at the somatic elements of who they are, become more mindful of their internal sensations and return to the present moment. They begin to understand that change can happen, that they can become unstuck, and find healing and growth within balancing thinking and somatic self.

Sometimes it feels like life has “snatched the rug from underneath” us. Other times, life seems to leave us feeling confused, disconnected, discouraged, hurt and stuck. It’s difficult to find our footing again. If this resonates with you, you are not alone. Life can get better and you are in the right place. Hi, my name is Jocelynn Jefferson. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate. I have experience working with adolescents, young adults, adults, couples as well as individuals experiencing life transitions, anxiety, depression, difficulties in their relationships, trauma , sexual abuse/assault and more.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor (LPC-S) who believes in internal power and strength. It may feel like internal power and strength is non-existent because there are times when situations and circumstances seem to get the best of life. A way of escape may be to indulge in unhealthy habits (such as substances) that make things worse. This is where I can be of assistance because I work with individuals struggling with addictions (ages 18-65). If you need help in this area, therapy can be scary but courageous and a necessary step for you.

I work under the motto, "The sun will rise and set regardless. What we choose to do with the light while its here is up to us..." I fully believe in journeying with my clients through treatment. I truly enjoy working with my clients on the variety of life's ups and downs. Generally, most of my work is with adults; however, I also see adolescents beginning at 16-years-old. Over the years, I have worked with depression, anxiety, trauma , and some of the more severe mental health problems. My other experience includes working with self-harm and suicidal behaviors, as well as behavior management.

You are not your diagnosis. I focus on wholistic treatment while providing individual and family therapy in order to understand the various aspects of your mental health. My goal is to help you understand your symptoms, and help you navigate through the obstacles that may arise to return your focus to living life. We will focus on your strengths, and how to use the coping skills I will teach you to resolve any conflict. We all need help from time to time, let me be the professional support you and your family need.

Do you constantly second guess yourself or find there are thoughts you can’t seem to let go of? Do you experience lingering grief or need to improve your relationships? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then DLR Counseling Group is for you. It’s a fact. We all carry long-held beliefs that influence our lives. Oftentimes, they were seared into our minds and hearts when we were children. The positive ones cause us to move forward. The negative ones hinder us through fear, anger, self-doubt, hopelessness, or silence. They alter our thoughts about love, race, relationships, death, trauma , and much more.

Have you had a situation happen that has caused deep emotional or physical pain? Has the pain been pushing you to the breaking point? Pain can come in many forms both emotional and physical and the strategies we use to deal with it often make the problem worse rather than better. Are you unsure what to do or where to go? Is your desire to get out of the pain but you are afraid that it can't get better? I can tell you from experience that ignoring it doesn't help but I do know that there are lots of strategies to get through it. I’d like the opportunity to show you how to turn your breakdown into a BREAKTHROUGH!

Sometimes things happen that are totally out of our control. We may try to forget about it but the reality is it will still affect us directly or indirectly. We might not know where to start but asking for help is the first step. Congratulations on taking that step! I understand that this can be a very scary step to allow someone into the most intimate part of your life, but it can also be very rewarding if you choose to trust the process.

I know it can be difficult to find someone you really feel safe with, who you can trust, who won't judge you. I'd be honored to be that person. As someone who works with the whole person, I understand the importance of religion within all faith groups. I also love working with those who identify as poly, LGBTQIA+, and in the kink community. If you're currently in a place where you're thinking, "I don't know if I can do this anymore" or if you sometimes wonder if you're "too broken" to feel better, don't give up. You've taken the first step to getting help. You are worth following through and seeing what the next steps can offer.

On the surface it looks like anger or constant irritation, but beneath the turbulent current of destructive behaviors are emotions like sadness and grief, pain, sorrow and fear. Anger is much more preferable if a lot of your life you have felt powerless or helpless. As you might be figuring out, the power of intense, uncontrollable anger only leads to self-destruction and can deeply hurts others. Self-destruction can look a lot like being stuck, resistance to change even when miserable, using substances, or being undisciplined. It can feel lonely.
