Jay's Process for Working with Clients
Jay’s process begins with a conversation about what brought the client to therapy, what has been weighing on them, and what they hope to gain from the experience.
From there, Jay and the client work together to identify patterns, challenges, and goals. Treatment is collaborative and tailored to the concerns and circumstances each client brings to therapy.
Jay uses evidence-based approaches that may include:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
Trauma-informed therapy
Motivational interviewing
