About Jaida
I am a licensed mental health counselor and a master credentialed substance and alcohol abuse counselor in New York. I have over 15 years of experience providing multi-systemic therapy to at risk families and adolescents; and over 15 years of experience providing cognitive behavioral therapy and motivational interviewing to adults struggling with co-occurring mental health and alcohol/substance use disorders. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, and acculturation issues. I also helped many people who have experienced physical, sexual and emotional traumas.
My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in providing counseling that is culturally sensitive where everyone is treated with respect and compassion. I don’t believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, strength focused, person-centered, and humanistic counseling. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first step towards change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support you on that wonderful journey.
I look forward to working with you!
