I am J. Dumas, I have a doctorate in Clinical Psychology and LPCC. I’m from New Orleans, La and have traveled all over the world learning about different cultures and practices. I believe therapy is about “treating people on an energetic level”. I want you to feel as though you can heal from the inside and extend that out to others. We all struggle in different capacities, and we can learn, grow, and help one another along the way. I am excited to join you on your life’s journey. I hope to have the opportunity to help you create progress toward positive and healthy life changes.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My greatest strength as a therapist is that I meet individuals where they are and I am willing to take on the most challenging individuals. There is no issue to great to problem solve and we will do it together.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I use a blended Humanistic approach to ensure that the agreed upon intervention is supportive and effective. During the planning phase, I conduct a comprehensive biopsychosocial assessment for a holistic view of the patient’s strengths and areas of need. The next phase is a collaborative treatment planning stage to develop/clarify treatment goals and mechanisms for achieving goals, as well as, measuring treatment effectiveness. My treatment plans highlight specific treatment approaches such as Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Trauma Focused- Cognitive Behavior Therapy, or Mindfulness-based Cognitive Therapy in how the methods are implemented. I defer to the most effective approach depending on the presenting concern. This means I sometimes use an eclectic approach involving more than two theoretical techniques.
