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

In our first session together, I will ask you some brief background questions and then we will discuss the specific challenges you're facing. By the end of the first session, you will have a basic idea of the first treatment goals and then we will discuss the dates/times for follow-up sessions.

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

My greatest strengths as a counselor include making my clients feel comfortable enough to share their most intimate thoughts and feelings, providing specific strategies for my clients to utilize, and providing verbal praise and emotional support throughout their counseling journey.

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

Jamila specializes in the treatment of anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, life transitions, and family conflict issues. I thoroughly enjoy meeting new and returning clients who often feel overwhelmed and anxious and are having difficulty coping with one or more major aspects of their lives (interpersonal, relationships, work/career, parenting).
