About Jamal
I have over a decade of experience working as a healthcare professional working the LBGTQIA+ and BIPOC communities, and my specialties include: ADHD, Anxiety, Depression, OCD, Life transitions, emotional regulation challenges, grief, and trauma. I combine my psychiatric and psychotherapy work together, to treat my clients through an integrative approach that works to treat the entire challenge you’re facing, from a medicinal but also therapeutic way. I believe we're all products of the environment we grew up in, but it is up to us as individuals, to grow and learn about ourselves, so we can become the healthiest, and best versions of who we hope to be. My office is a judgement-free place, where I will help you improve your quality of mental help, and support you on your journey towards a happier, healthier life. I work with ADHD, Anxiety, Depression, OCD, Life transitions, emotional regulation challenges, grief, and trauma.
Why did you become a therapist, and what motivates you to continue?
I know from person and professional experience; it's incredibly difficult to reach out and ask for help. My office is a safe place, where I will take the time listen to your needs and customize my treatment to you. I don't believe in the one size fits all approach, and instead believe it's my job to customize my approach to each client's individual needs.
For people that are hesitant to try therapy, what do you wish you could tell them?
That I completely understand. Many years ago I too was hesitant to try therapy or mental health services in general, especially being an African American male, talking about emotions or mental health was never encouraged when I was growing up. However I promise you, talking about emotions and your mental health is one of the bravest and most courageous things a person can do.
How do you work with clients with anxiety?
I do! I have extensive experience working with clients who suffer from everything from generalized anxiety to chronic anxiety, for all genders, ethnicities, and age ranges. Let me help you balance your life, schedule, and take the reins back from your anxiety, so you're the one running your life and mood-not your anxiety.
How do you work with clients with depression?
I do! I have extensive experience working with clients who suffer from everything from generalized depression to chronic depression that interrupts your ability for daily functioning for all genders, ethnicities, and age ranges. Let me help you balance your life, schedule, and take the reins back from your depression, so you're the one running your life and mood-not your depression.
How do you work with clients with stress?
Absolutely! Stress is one of the biggest challenges that we as individuals face. Regardless of stress comes from work, relationships, family dynamics, holidays, trauma (past and present), health challenges, children, etc., stress is one of the biggest factor that negatively impacts an individual's immune system and physical health. We live in a society that promotes stress as being "productive", while never looking at the physical ailments that comes with chronic stress. Let me help you balance your life, schedule, and take the reins back from your stress, so you're the one running your life and mood-not your stress.
How can you provide care remotely?
I realize not everyone has the time to commute to an office, having to take time away from their work and family. I want psychiatric and psychological care to be available to everyone, everywhere, regardless of where they live or how busy they are. Mental health impacts every aspect of our lives, and I want to help you improve your entire well-being, from the comfort of your own home or office. I utilize HIPPA compliant telehealth sessions for your convenience and your confidentiality.
