Jayant Thomas

I am an independent professional clinical counselor in the state of Ohio with 15 years of experience in the mental health field. Since 2001, I've dedicated myself to helping individuals navigate their mental health journeys. I hold a BA in Music from Principia College (1991) and a Master's in Rehabilitation Counseling from Bowling Green State University (2000). In 2004, I earned my professional counselor designation, and by 2009, I became a licensed professional clinical counselor.

Throughout my career, I've had the privilege of working with diverse populations, including those dealing with severe and persistent mental illnesses such as schizophrenia and psychotic disorders, dual diagnosis (mental health and substance use), anxiety, depression, trauma, and bipolar disorder. I've also served in crisis situations as an emergency services mental health assessor.

My approach to therapy is grounded in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, and person-centered modalities, but I draw from a broad range of influences to tailor my methods to each individual's needs. I believe in empowering individuals to be their best selves, helping them overcome obstacles, and supporting them in achieving their goals and dreams.

Client’s can expect to take away a sense of hope, purpose and direction with each session. They will discover and get a sense that they already have healing power innately within them.
