Jakari Washington, LMHC
Whether you’re navigating anxiety, trauma, relationship struggles, or simply feeling stuck, my goal is to help you feel seen, supported, and empowered to create meaningful change. As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, I provide a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can explore your challenges, reconnect with your
strengths, and begin to heal.
I am passionate about working with teens (15+), teen parents, BIPOC communities,young adults, and adults. I draw from evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) techniques, person-centered therapy, and mindfulness-based approaches.
Professional Experience
I earned my Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Medaille College, completing clinical training in diverse settings, including community mental health centers, inpatient substance use rehabilitation facilities, and outpatient practices. I also collaborate with other professionals to provide therapeutic group counseling opportunities. This wide range of experience has equipped me to work effectively with various concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, stress management, and mood disorders.
As I continue my professional journey, I remain committed to ongoing learning and personal growth, maintaining a strong ethical foundation, and helping clients find clarity, resilience, and hope in their lives.
