Hi, I'm Dave Jaskolski, a Licensed Marriage and Family Counselor. LMFT. I graduated from JFK University with a degree in Counseling and Transpersonal Psychology. I have worked at Antioch Children's Behavioral Health for over 26 years. I have worked with children, adolescents, and their families with serious symptoms and challenges such as: PTSD & trauma-related issues, ADHD/ learning disorders, and school-related IEPs, Self-harming/cutting/suicidal ideation and attempts, foster children, attachment issues, aggression/ anger issues. Autistic spectrum issues. I have taught and supervised interns in training to become therapists. I lead a Multi-Family Dialectical Behavior Therapy Group. I also trained in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavior Therapy.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
In our first session, we will get to know where you are at and where you want to go and grow. We will get clarity about what you want and what are the obstacles preventing you from achieiving your most important goals.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
I have found and studied the most powerful ideas in human transformation throughout my life. I love sharing, teaching and helping others to grow, transform and end thier suffering.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
Currently, I am interested in working with clients who are retiring from their employment and transitioning to a life of their own by design. I call this "Inspirement" versus retirement, and I have written a book, "Inspired not Retired." Anyone seeking more meaning and purpose and creating a life worth living is my ideal client. "If life is for living, what is living for?" The Kinks
Transpersonal
Seeing your identity as consciousness allows one to become a watchful awareness of the events happening around you and the meanings you are creating about them. This will enable you to become the creator of your life rather than a victim of circumstances. This is the highest level of access to rapid therapeutic transformation.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Becoming aware of the meaning we are giving to events, our thoughts, our self-talk allows one to change and let go those beliefs which are not effective and are disempowering. We can change our thinking to change our feelings which changes our actions and delivers us positive results.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
Learn and practice the skills: Mindfulness, Distress Tolerance, Emotional Regulation, Interpersonal Effectiveness, Middle Path to create a "Life Worth Living!"

David left me with some thought-provoking perspective. Engaged me with personal experiences and didn't make our dialogue too clinical. Shared some material for me to review and homework to help exercise steps towards some level of progress.
