I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and have received my Masters of Art in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Argosy University. I have over 9 years of experience in the mental health field and have worked in various clinical environments such as psychiatric hospitals, county jails and insurance providers.
I am committed to working with diverse populations such as adults dealing with depression, bipolar disorder, stress management, substance abuse, racial identity, life transitions, trauma and men's issues.
I have a passion for helping others reach their full potential. I thoroughly believe in starting the healing process and helping you develop and maintain stability in order to become your best self. My counseling style is warm and interactive. I have the ability to show compassion and empathy for my clients.
I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, as my primary theoretical approach. I firmly believe that our thoughts, feelings and behaviors intermingle with each other. If we can work on influencing that triad through cognitive restructuring then we can truly begin our journey through life.
I look forward to working with you!

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Jared Washington. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
I highly recommend Jared to be your go-to counselor. He is very understanding, wise, but most importantly patient. He relates to many situations to give the right advice and conversation. He do not judge you but instead pours life into you. Thank you Jared and BetterHelp for this life change.

Jared has been kind and supportive in this journey to improve my mental health. I tend to be quite reserved, but speaking to Jared feels like talking to a friend which makes the process so much easier. I know my mental health and I will be in good hands with Jared’s guidance.

This guy knows his stuff. He is very pleasant to talk to definitely keeps me grounded. I have had only had one session with Jared at this moment in time, but I already feel a “changed me” for the better.

Jared consistently does an exceptional job! He really takes the time to get to know you so that he can help you. He is able to offer a personable approach while still also being professional simultaneously. I have had a fair share of counselors over the years and I finally feel like Jared is the one for me. Thanks for all you do Jared!!!!
