Sondos Jaber
Hello! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and I've had the privilege of working with individuals in diverse mental health settings, from emergency departments and psychiatric facilities to private practices. This experience has given me a deep understanding of the challenges people face, and I'm truly passionate about helping them find healing and growth. I'm also EMDR trained, which means I have specialized training in helping people process and heal from trauma. I often work with individuals navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, and overall life goals.
I often work with individuals navigating trauma, suicidal thoughts, depression, self-esteem issues, anxiety, and overall life goals.
My biggest goal is to create a warm, supportive, and safe space for you. I strive to be a compassionate, authentic, and respectful guide, walking alongside you on your journey. You can expect a judgment-free environment where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to explore what's most important to you.
First session
In our first session together, we'll start with a brief introduction and we can then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. We will work together to create a tailored treatment plan for us to work through in our follow-up sessions.
Strengths
Having a combination of person-centered approach with trauma focused technique like EMDR, I offer a well-rounded, individualized treatment that addresses both the root of the issue and the client's immediate emotional needs.
Ideal clients
I love working with children, adolescents, adults, and families, and I feel privileged to walk alongside each person I work with on their journey toward healing and growth. Every individual comes with a unique story, so I take the time to understand your personal background, upbringing, beliefs, culture, and values, weaving them thoughtfully into a counseling experience that feels truly your own. My goal is to create a warm, safe space where you feel seen and understood, so that together we can work toward the meaningful, lasting change you’re seeking.
Treatment methods
Person-centered (Rogerian)
Person-Centered Therapy is a humanistic approach that emphasizes the importance of the therapist-client relationship. It is based on the belief that individuals have an innate capacity for personal growth and self-healing when provided with a supportive and non-judgmental environment. I believe that PCT is particularly helpful for clients seeking a safe space to express themselves without feeling judged or directed. It allows for a deeply personalized and transformative therapeutic experience.
EMDR
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a structured therapy designed to help individuals process and heal from traumatic experiences and distressing memories. EMDR is highly beneficial in therapy because it provides a structured way to process trauma, enabling clients to move forward in their healing journey with reduced emotional distress.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a focused, goal-oriented approach that helps you learn practical skills to improve your state of mind. It works by identifying the patterns of negative thoughts and unhelpful behaviors that are keeping you stuck, and teaching you how to challenge and change them. CBT empowers you with tools to feel better now and build lasting strategies for handling life's challenges, making it an excellent path toward personal growth and emotional resilience.
