Hi! My name is Jason Markel (pronounced Mar-Kell) and I am honored to be considered as your therapist. I am a person who is passionate and dedicated in helping others and I use that passion to help clients overcome obstacles, heal pain and move towards living the life they want to live. It is always an honor and privilege to be welcomed into someone's world and I treat it as such.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first session they can expect that we will move at a pace that is comfortable for them. Some clients may experience anxiety as a first session approaches, in which case we will move slowly to firmly begin to establish trust and build rapport. Some clients may be ready to dive into whatever they wish to work on, in which case I will actively listen and begin to gather history. In either case, a main focus is on getting to know each other and work towards building a wonderful working relationship.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

One of my greatest strengths is my ability to build good rapport with almost any client. I take a genuine curiosity to find out "who you are" and identify your needs. This generally results in the client feeling welcomed and valued, which is my intention.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

I am best aligned with clients who are motivated to do deep, introspective work. Additionally, I work from a stance of building a wonderful relationship with each of my clients so they feel seen, heard and valued. My approach is very interactive and relational, so clients who appreciate that are a good match for me.
