My name is Jason Newman and I am a therapist that loves DBT skills. In my therapy practice I use a lot of these skills along solid’s narrative techniques to help clients find new ways of being in the world. I enjoy being able to help my clients grow and figure out what they need to do to feel more successful. I always believe everyone is doing the best they can with the skills they have, and we will learn new ones!
I will be asking assessment questions and trying to see what has worked and what has not worked in the past. I am trying to make sure you feel just as comfortable with me so that this can be the best matching possible.
I am very personable. My clients tend to really like me and find me to be someone they can feel comfortable with rather quickly. I have a ways of relating to people where it is very rare that I cannot build a strong rapport with someone. I am also lighthearted, friendly, and yet also challenging at times when we need to go there.
My primary population has been adolescents to middle age adults. I specialize in queer clients and teens who are struggling. I also love working with young adults and helping them find their way in this world. I love working with anyone who has a desire to learn and become their best self.
I was trained by the Linehan Institute. DBT was created by Marsha Likehan and offers extensive trainings to people from her via video. I was in an extensive training program. I talk about using DBT skills in session all the time. There is so much that you can do from the main component: mindfulness, emotional regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, and distress tolerance. These can be used to help anyone.
Gottman level 1 and 2 trained and work with queer couples around relationships, kinks, ect.
I have been trained in gender affirming and am able to write letters of support for those looking to transition. Very respectful of all queer individuals.
Big proponent of narrative therapy because it helps those who have felt ostracized by society into externalizing issues and not blaming themselves for society issues.

I have been really enjoying the freedom to just express and his knack for repeating it back in similar words that helps me process on other fronts. It has been very good interaction.
