Great to meet you!

Greetings! I’m Dalila Jarvis, LCSW, a licensed clinical social worker with over 10 years of experience in the mental health field and 4 years providing psychotherapy. I work with teens and adults navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationships, self-esteem, identity, and life transitions. I bring warmth, compassion, humor, and authenticity into the therapeutic space, creating a space where you can show up as your full self without having everything figured out. My goal is for you to feel seen, heard, and supported.

My approach to therapy

My approach is collaborative, strengths-based, and centered on what works best for you. I blend CBT, DBT, motivational interviewing, and creative interventions. That will help you understand patterns, work through emotions, and find practical tools that fit your life. Therapy with me is supportive, culturally responsive, and genuine.

What you can expect from me

Our first session is about getting to know each other, what brought you to therapy, and what you’d like to get out of our time together. I’ll ask questions, listen with curiosity, and give you space to share at your own pace. There’s no pressure to have the perfect words or your whole life figured out. Come as you are, and we’ll figure out where to begin together.
