LCSW, 12 years of experience
New to Grow
Hi, I'm Jillian Varamo, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 12 years of experience dedicated to helping individuals navigate their mental health journeys. My private practice is called Perigee Mental Health, LLC. I received my Master's in Social Work from New York University in 2013. I specialize in the management of anxiety, depression, women's issues, life transitions, and self betterment.
Based in Delaware and Pennsylvania, I use a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and or Acceptance and Commitment Therapy approach to empower my clients to make meaningful changes in their lives, but I'm not here to throw around therapeutic buzzwords. My priority is to maintain a genuine and authentic connection with you.
I'm a down-to-earth therapist who values real, meaningful connection over surface-level positivity. I believe that healing happens when we can show up as our true selves—without pressure to "stay positive" or push away difficult emotions. I don’t believe in quick fixes or toxic positivity; instead, I offer a grounded, compassionate space where all parts of your experience are welcome. My goal is to help you feel seen, understood, and empowered as we work together toward growth and change.
I believe that how we think has a profound impact on how we feel and behave. Together, we can explore these connections and work toward achieving the positive changes you desire for your mental well-being. I understand that starting the process can feel intimidating, especially when you may be at your most vulnerable.
Lets work on not avoiding our issues and work towards psychological flexibility!
Our thoughts impacts our feelings and how we act, I like to examine this with my clients and work on adjusting these thoughts for better feelings and behaviors.
