I have a wholistic approach to therapy and draw from the various modalities , including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), solution-focused therapy and dialectal behavioral therapy (DBT), in an effort to meet the need of each individual. Through the collaborative process of therapy, Through the therapeutic process, I will help to guide you to increase self-awareness, gain new perspectives, decrease symptoms, and increase personal strengths to have a more meaningful life experience.

4 Reviews

“Thanks to her, I was quickly able to resolve all the issues I was having with my wife and save our marriage. She was able to understand me very quickly and help in every dilemma I had within myself. I spoke very highly of her to several of my colleagues already because she really helped me in my time of need.”

“She's great, and very helpful”

“Jamie Blakeman has been very professional, friendly, easy to talk to, and timely in her therapy sessions with our teen age daughter as well as when speaking to us(Mom and dad of teen daughter). She offers ways to cope with anxiety depression and CBT techniques that seem to be helping our daughter in that she hasn’t been negative about her therapy sessions and seems to look forward to scheduling the next week’s follow up session with Jamie Blakeman. So far, it’s been only two professional sessions but we already see that our daughter is comfortable and content with continuing treatment online with Jamie. We appreciate this online therapy platform for choosing Jamie to work with our daughter.”

“I love her already!! She Goes out of her way to figure out how to help somebody. She’s smart and has a lot of ideas to help. Would highly recommend!”
