My name is Joniett and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor. My goal is to provide a safe, open, and honest space where we can work together towards your actualization of your truest self. I believe that everyone has the potential to create and employ positive changes in thoughts, attitude and behavior that will allow your truest self outward. I provide individual and family therapy to adolescents, adults, and families with a wide range of mental health, emotional, behavioral, and relationship needs. I have experience in the inpatient, school, and community settings where I’ve worked with adolescents and adults in individual, family, and group psychotherapy. Throughout my education, training, and work with numerous clients, I have become especially interested and experienced in: • Working through past traumatic events • Depression and suicidality • Anxiety-related issues • Emotional identification and regulation • Academic pressure and goal setting • LGBTQQAAIP+ and gender issues • Race/Culture based fatigue/trauma • Relational conflict resolution and strengthening • Coping with transitions (academic, professional, and life transitions) • Self-esteem and image concerns • Substance use and Recovery
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
Using a collaborative approach, I help my clients create and achieve goals such as identifying and implementing healthy coping skills, engaging in better decision-making, reducing negative effects of traumatic events, decreasing impulsive behaviors, and building stronger relationships with family, peers, and self.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
I utilize a person-centered approach to ensure my clients feel respected and understood as well as trauma focused cognitive behavioral therapy, solution focused therapy, and motivational enhancement therapy to facilitate sessions.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My biggest strengths include my desire to help you heal your inner child. I utilize pop culture references constantly in an effort to connect with clients as well as show how even the strongest of heros can be vulnerable and need help.
