Hello, I'm Jamesia Mathis, a Licensed Professional Counselor and Certified Professional Counselor Supervisor based in Georgia. With over 8 years of dedicated practice, I've had the privilege of working across various mental health settings, including crisis stabilization, partial-hospitalization, intensive-outpatient, and outpatient programs, serving both adolescents and adults. I firmly believe that one's thoughts and emotions significantly impact their behaviors. I am passionate about helping individuals build awareness of negative thinking patterns and maladaptive behaviors to initiate positive change. In our therapeutic journey together, I work collaboratively with you to explore your current struggles and past experiences, aiming to identify the root causes of your challenges and guide you toward greater peace and happiness.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
The first therapy session is often referred to as the intake session or initial assessment. It is our opportunity to begin building a strong therapeutic alliance and laying the groundwork for effective treatment. It sets the stage for ongoing exploration, growth, and healing in the therapeutic journey. I will explain the principles of confidentiality and informed consent, outlining the limits of confidentiality and the exceptions in cases where there may be a risk of harm to you, the client, or others. I invite you to discuss their reasons for seeking therapy and what they hope to achieve. This may involve exploring current challenges, symptoms, concerns, relevant personal history, and life experiences.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My journey in counseling has led me to develop a comprehensive understanding of various mental health concerns. I specialize in substance misuse, depression, anxiety, mood disorders, trauma/abuse, relationship issues, grief, self-harm, and suicidal ideations. Through my experience, I've honed my skills in providing individual and group counseling, tailoring my approach to meet the unique needs of each client.
