LPCC, 16 years of experience
I am J. Dumas, I have a doctorate in Clinical Psychology and LPCC. I’m from New Orleans, La and have traveled all over the world learning about different cultures and practices. I believe therapy is about “treating people on an energetic level”. I want you to feel as though you can heal from the inside and extend that out to others. We all struggle in different capacities, and we can learn, grow, and help one another along the way. I am excited to join you on your life’s journey. I hope to have the opportunity to help you create progress toward positive and healthy life changes.
I offer a comprehensive mental health services encompassing a wide range of offerings designed to address the diverse needs of individuals seeking support for their psychological well-being and personal development. A holistic approach is taken, focusing on both assessment and intervention. Specializing in Psychological Assessments, Comprehensive Diagnosis, IQ Testing, Clinical Training & Audits and Curriculum Building. Mental health services prioritize confidentiality, empathy, and evidence-based care. Dedicated to helping clients understand their mental health, providing them with the tools to cope with life's challenges, and supporting their personal development journeys. Whether you are seeking a diagnosis, treatment, or guidance in improving your mental well-being, we are here to assist you every step of the way. Your mental health is a priority, and together, we can work towards a brighter and healthier future.
My greatest strength as a therapist is that I meet individuals where they are and I am willing to take on the most challenging individuals. There is no issue to great to problem solve and we will do it together.
I use a blended holistic approach to ensure that the agreed upon intervention is supportive and effective. During the planning phase, I conduct a comprehensive biopsychosocial assessment for a holistic view of the patient’s strengths and areas of need. The next phase is a collaborative treatment planning stage to develop/clarify treatment goals and mechanisms for achieving goals, as well as, measuring treatment effectiveness. My treatment plans highlight specific treatment approaches such as Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Trauma Focused- Cognitive Behavior Therapy, or Mindfulness-based Cognitive Therapy in how the methods are implemented. I defer to the most effective approach depending on the presenting concern. This means I sometimes use an eclectic approach involving more than two theoretical techniques.
