LMHC, 5 years of experience
Hi there, I'm Jesse. I'm a licensed mental health counselor in the state of Florida. I've had the pleasure of working with adults in a number of different settings, from residential treatment centers, intensive outpatient programs, and community-based mental health clinics. As a lifelong learner, I believe that challenges and roadblocks are a part of life. Successfully navigating those challenges brings opportunities to use the strengths we bring to create new strategies and paths – solving problems and creating new solutions. It is with much admiration and respect that I engage with individuals to work through some of these life challenges. I look forward to learning your stories, helping you recognize your strengths and together finding tools to allow you to reach your goals. As a therapist, I have always believed in the strength of the individual to heal.
I assist individuals with everyday stressful life issues, improve relationships, reduce anxiety, depression and frustration, gain self-awareness, increase insight, offer another perspective, and help you develop new coping skills. I provide individuals with a safe, trusting environment to unpack the various complexities of life. Be assured that you are guaranteed to be received with acceptance, warmth, and compassion.
I am a supportive, client-centered therapist who utilizes evidence-based modalities including cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), psychoeducation, coaching, motivational interviewing techniques and tailored homework designed to continue working on improving communication, coping skills and confidence. I help individuals focus on relaxation, building self-esteem, and developing coping strategies to heal themselves by managing their issues and fulfilling their core longings.
I match my approach, style and therapeutic techniques to each individual's personality and needs to ensure sessions are both comfortable and productive. My clinical experience has equipped me to work effectively with individuals dealing with anxiety, depression, work/school stress, communication issues, and trauma. It is my goal as a therapist to support and encourage individuals to make the necessary changes needed for emotional stability and wellness. I focus on the skills individuals need to better cope with or overcome the challenges and stressors they face. Whether someone is dealing with a reoccurring mental health concern, a relational issue, or a life transition, I strive to provide a safe space where people can process, reflect, learn and grow.
