I am Jeremiah Knight, a seasoned Black psychotherapist practicing out of San Jose, California where I have lived most of my life. Over the past 8 years I have gained experience in the community and in the medical system as a psychotherapist treating children, adolescents, parents, adults, and families with varying mental health diagnoses. During that time I have developed an expertise in working with anxiety, depression, and trauma.
I believe change occurs through conscious reflection, intentional action towards one's goals, and an active engagement in one's life. With my clients I support them in determining areas they would like to see growth, identifying steps they could take to move closer to their goal, and explore the negative thoughts keeping them from happiness. This work is often done through the use of Solution Focused, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT, Trauma Focused CBT, and Existential therapeutic approaches.
In treatment I am never the one that sets the goals and outcomes of treatment as I leave that up to my clients. Some goals set by my clients have included be happier, feeling less anxious, improving their focus on a specific habit, building their awareness on their future, improving their relationships with their significant other, having more energy, and/or increasing their connections with others.
