Hello my name is Jahmela Williams, LCPC, I am intentional about serving the needs of people/persons of color and intersectionality communities. I commend you for taking the first step to experiencing a transformational life. With over 15 years of experience in providing education and counseling services, my focus is on helping individuals successfully navigate through barriers that limit holistic well-being. One of the reasons for my success is the gift for forming positive, lasting connections with individuals. In all my years of service, I have never grown tired of empowering individuals to better know self, value, and live purpose. My counseling techniques are a strength-based approach infused with Cognitive Behavioral, Emotionally Focused, and Mindfulness theoretical frameworks. I believe life experiences carry emotional memories that influence thoughts about ourselves, our value, and our purpose, which in turn effect the choices and actions we take in life. I do not consider myself the expert but a facilitator that helps guide you along this process of discovery and awareness. I approach mental health from a holistic healing perspective. This perspective is woven into the very fabric of my being as a black woman. As a woman of color, I am intentional about providing a safe space for my extended community to learn tools in practicing radical self-care as a form of resistance and self-preservation. As a body of color, I am very much aware of how it feels to live in a society where I must demand “the right to matter”. Because of this, the mindset that I bring to therapeutic healing is one of radical acceptance, kindness, and non-judgment for my community and its intersectionality. It is my hope to be a therapeutic space to work on body, mind, and spirit healing, have your voice heard, and permission to breathe and “be”. It would be a privilege to accompany you on your wellness journey. I am committed to helping you realize your value and purpose and reach your healing goals.

I am the founder and owner of PBMJ Consultants and Associates, L.L.C. located in Baltimore, Maryland and established in 2012. As a licensed clinician and board-certified supervisor; I believe a cognitive behavioral approach to therapy along with the use of wholistic supportive techniques will help clients become more aware of the impact challenges of life have on thoughts and behavior. I completed my BS, MS and post graduate studies at Johns Hopkins University; and I am a public speaker and facilitator who cares and is willing to share how to attain a better way of life. I have traveled and trained nationally and internationally with a combination of over 20 years of professional, academic and personal experiences. During my years as a licensed practitioner and clinical supervisor, I counseled thousands of clients and trained hundreds of individuals in the counseling profession. As a mental health provider I offer the following services: grief counseling, anger management, stress management; conflict resolution; gambling and substance dependence counseling; professional seminars and workshops. I have counseled people from all walks of life and believe true healing begins – in spirit, mind and body - when change is made and a wholistic approach to life is experienced.

Hi - my name is Jeff Becker. I am a therapist licensed in Maryland with over 30 years of experience. I have worked with clients on a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, family and relationship issues, parenting problems, trauma, and addiction. I have particular expertise in work based problems, especially within school systems. I live and work in an area where the population is diverse, and my caseload has always reflected this. My therapy style is straight forward, supportive and interactive. I believe in treating all my clients with respect and dignity. I have learned that when people come into therapy they mostly wish to be heard and understood. I try to create an environment where this can happen. It is within such a setting I can best facilitate your ability to come up with solutions that will work for you. As with most experienced therapists, my approach is eclectic. My training includes elements of client centered, solution focused, CBT, and couples approaches (Gottman and Imago). I also have extensive training in trauma, including Mitchell Model and EMDR. I have helped many people who have recently experienced a trauma. Your decision to seek assistance is a big step that takes a lot of courage. I know you are looking to feel better and I would be happy to help find the best path for you.

I have worked in the helping profession for over 25 years because of my love for assisting populations to overcome issues, that hinders their ability to function to the best of their ability,using a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Approach. Initially, I started with a background in Social Services to Families with Children, with a focus on stabilizing the family unit, by providing case management services and counseling to oppressed populations. My experience evolved into my role as a Mental Health Specialist, providing counseling and Resources to Social Service recipients, who were experiencing problems becoming gainfully employed due to mental health issues , such as Depression and Anxiety issues. A focus on removing the barriers prohibiting them to obtain employment was identified, and counseling / case management, and family issues were addressed. Substance Addiction/Abuse, and School Counselor is also a part of my expertise, and experience. I look forward to assisting my clients identify, address, and work through issues that prohibit them to move forward, and to live the best life possible.
