Jelisa Matthews

Hello and welcome! I'm Jelisa, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW-C) with over 7 years of experience. I specialize in treating trauma, anxiety, and depression.

I create a safe space that is warm and come with a non-judgmental approach to therapy. I utilize an individualized and eclectic approach to therapy and tailor treatment towards your culture and unique personal identity. Therapy may include various treatment modalities and interventions based on your personal needs and background.

Congrats on taking the first step of your mental health journey and please let me know if you have any questions!

As a therapist, my goal is to create a safe space for clients that is warm and non-judgmental. I emphasize the importance of utilizing a person-centered approach and understanding how culture and life experiences shape core beliefs and personal values. I utilize techniques from CBT, Mindfulness, Psychodynamic Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing depending on the client’s individualized needs.

The initial session will focus on building rapport, completing a biospscyhosocial assessment, and collaborating to identify treatment goals.
