I am a licensed clinical social worker in Georgia focused on providing services to individuals and families. I have a Master's Degree in Social Work, and a PhD. in Social Work: Policy, Planning and Administration and have over 10 years of experience providing clinical services to children, teens and families. The onset of my career began with helping children and families within a community mental health setting as well as those involved in the child welfare system. My clients have had a wide range of concerns including: Anxiety, Depression, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, and Oppositional Defiant Disorder. I've also worked with clients who have experienced trauma and abuse.
I believe in a humanistic, person-centered, cognitive behavioral approach to therapy where the focus is on helping clients develop a strong sense of self within a non-judgmental therapeutic setting. I am a proponent in addressing factors that contribute to the healing of the spirit, mind and body.
I am happy that you have taken the first step in your healing process and I look forward to working with you.

My first review wasn’t positive. And I may have judged too soon. I needed to step back and realize I’m not her only patient so the speedy responses I wanted weren’t realistic. But the advice and help she has given me has been fantastic. I feel so heard and understood. So far she’s doing great for me.

Written on Jun 27, 2022 after therapy with Jamila for 2 weeks on issues concerning relationship issues
Dr. Hankins is the therapist you didn't know you needed. I sought grief counseling due to several recent losses. She helped me identify anxiety and triggers as well. She encourages self-reflection and acknowledges where you are in the moment and provides you with several tools that will help you in your journey to becoming who it is you are destined to become. I am a better version of myself than I was one month ago when it seemed like I was in a downward spiral. She helped me open my wings to regain balance and control. Thank you Doc! I am forever grateful.
