About me
Hello, I'm Jaime. I am a licensed mental health counselor.
I have spent years working with those that experience high fluctuations in mood and mental stability. I have expertise in bi-polar disorder, major depressive disorder, and anxiety disorders. I specialize in diagnosing and recognizing slight changes in behavior and symptoms when it comes to mental illness. I have worked with very severe mental health disorders and take pride in helping others and their families navigate the journey to mental wellness.
I use a variety of techniques but mainly, motivational interviewing, mindfulness, narrative approaches, integrative modalities, cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavioral therapy. I believe in working with your mind and body so no "one" therapy is chosen, I adapt your treatment according to what you need.
You can expect a gentle, warm spirit that is able to help you through the difficulties of life. My approach is strength based so I always start my therapy focusing on what strengths you have and how we can proceed by working on those while untangling life's complexities.
Let's talk soon!
