More about Jaret

  • 8 years' experience
  • Male
  • LPC, LCMHC

Welcome! I like to think counseling is a wonderful journey to help explore yourself and develop helpful coping skills when facing difficulty in life. I am a licensed professional counselor with over 8 years of experience in the field. I have a Master of Arts degree in counseling from Waynesburg University in Waynesburg, Pennsylvania. I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the commonwealth of Pennsylvania, a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in the State of New Hampshire, and I am also a DBT Linehan-Board of Certification, Certified Clinician and an EMDR-Trained Therapist. I have worked with many different individuals, including those who struggle with depression, anxiety, addictions, and trauma. I think of counseling as a process of working together to develop an insightful mind set into who you are and how to make meaning from your experiences.

My counseling style involves a high level of active listening upon my part and an overall collaborative effort to help you meet your specific goals and needs. I tend to practice from a person-centered, humanistic perspective. I also have specific training in dialectical behavior therapy, which is an incredibly helpful combination of developing skills in handling highly stressful situations in a healthy way, as well as improve upon communication skills and regulating emotions. I also work with individuals using EMDR therapy as a modality to help resolve unprocessed traumatic experiences. I believe everyone's story and experiences create strengths that can be helpful in feeling better.

It takes a lot of strength and courage to start the process of counseling. Something you might want to know about me is that I've been in the client's seat in the counseling relationship and understand just how much strength and courage it takes to talk with a counselor. If you're ready to start the journey, I'm here to support you.

I look forward to working with you!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Amazing therapist who continues to learn more about EMDR and other ways to help treat CPTSD along with other disorders that people are managing. He values the therapeutic alliance and does not impose his beliefs upon people. Jaret has been the most helpful counselor I have seen in my 30+ years of counseling. I am also in the field and appreciate the way he has helped me with being able to improve how I work with others.

Jaret is a compassionate and skilled therapist. I didn’t originally think I’d be comfortable with a man, but knew I needed DBT and EMDR, which he specializes in. From the very first meeting, I have felt super comfortable with him and would highly recommend him to anyone trying to work through traumas and/or resolve self destructive behaviors.

Reviewed May 2023

I have been blessed these past four years to have Jaret as my therapist. Since my first session with him, I felt very comfortable and knew that I was in very capable hands. Jaret is extremely knowledgeable of DBT, and all aspects of depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation and relationship issues, among many more, I am sure. Yet, with all of that knowledge, his demeanor is welcoming compassionate but still professional, but in a relaxing way. He's one of those types of people that you feel you've known forever when you've just met them. To say that he has helped me tremendously these past four years is an understatement. I am currently in a maintenance program with him, but if you are looking for someone you you ultimately want to trust and help take you out of the darkness of depression and anxiety, he is your man! I can't say enough about him. He is truly a gem and a Godsend for me.
