I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Certified Alcohol and Other Drug Counselor (CADC) with years of experience in helping individuals overcome mental health and substance use challenges. During my career, I have partnered with clients in community mental health, academic medical center, and private practice settings as they strive to reach their full potential. In addition to my clinical practice, I am a faculty member at the City Colleges of Chicago, where I teaches courses in the Addiction Studies program. I hold a Master of Arts in Social Service Administration from the University of Chicago. When not managing his professional obligations, Jarrett can often be found reading, cooking, or spending time with his spouse and two cats.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

During the initial 60-minute session, we will discuss your reasons for coming to therapy in greater detail. I will ask questions about your life experiences, background, and the challenges that brought you to therapy. We will discuss these challenges, ensure that we have a shared understanding of path forward, and create a treatment plan - the roadmap for our work together. While the treatment plan is established during the initial appointment, it is a flexible and living document that can be updated at any point during the therapy process.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

Whether you are struggling with sadness, worry, work-related stress, substance use issues, relationship difficulties, or emotions resulting from traumatic experience(s), I offer a supportive ear and a nonjudgmental environment in which we can work together to identify and implement strategies to move you toward your goals. I strive to assist clients in fully exploring their emotions in an environment characterized by compassion, acceptance, and safety.
