Hello! I’m Jasmine Walker, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and proud graduate of the University of Maryland, Baltimore School of Social Work, where I specialized in Clinical Social Work. With over 10 years of experience in therapy and care coordination, I bring a holistic, person-centered approach that honors both your inner experiences and the external factors shaping your life. I believe healing starts with understanding the whole person — your story, strengths, and goals. When I’m not in the therapeutic space, I recharge through exercise, playing basketball, and traveling — activities that remind me how important balance and self-care are in showing up fully for others. My practice is grounded in compassion, authenticity, and empathy, and I strive to create a therapeutic relationship where you feel seen, supported, and empowered to grow.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
You can expect a warm, welcoming environment where we’ll take time to get to know each other and make sure we’re a good fit. I’ll invite you to share your story at your own pace and help clarify your goals for therapy. Whether you’re navigating stress, anxiety, trauma, or working to build greater self-awareness, our sessions will focus on creating comfort, trust, and a plan for meaningful change.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
My practice is unique because I believe that healing and growth come from within. I incorporate each individual’s skills, talents, strengths, and even hobbies into the therapeutic process. I strive to create a space where individuals can freely express themselves and feel genuinely seen and heard. Whether we're exploring patterns, processing emotions, or building new coping skills, my goal is to meet every individual where they are and walk alongside them toward healing and fulfillment.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
Finding your inner voice and navigating life’s transitions can be challenging—but you don’t have to do it alone. I specialize in supporting children, adolescents, and adults who are navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, and/or PTSD. My approach is gentle, collaborative, and rooted in understanding the whole person. I draw from evidence-based practices like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and trauma-informed care, while ensuring the work is client-focused. With teens and adults, I focus on helping them understand their emotional patterns, process difficult experiences, and develop practical skills for managing stress, improving mood, and rebuilding confidence. I look forward to supporting you in discovering your strengths and navigating life's changes with confidence and care.
Psychodynamic
The use of psychodynamic therapy can support in exploring the "why" behind thoughts, feelings, and patterns so we can better understand ourselves. Think of this approach to therapy as connecting pieces of your story- past and present- to see the bigger picture. The process is gentle and collaborative, helping you feel more grounded, self-aware, and in control of your growth.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
CBT is a practical, collaborative approach that helps individuals understand how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are connected. Together, we explore patterns that may be causing stress or anxiety and practice new ways of thinking and coping. This might include learning strategies to manage anxious thoughts, challenging negative self-talk, or experimenting with small steps to build confidence and emotional balance. CBT provides tools you can use in everyday life to feel more in control and resilient.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
I use mindfulness and meditation techniques to help individuals stay present, calm, and centered, even during stressful or overwhelming moments. Together, we may practice grounding exercises, guided meditations, or create personalized positive affirmations to foster self-compassion, confidence, and emotional resilience. These tools support individuals in managing anxiety, regulating emotions, and building a greater sense of inner peace.
