Hi there, I'm Jocelyn!

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New Haven, Connecticut. I also offer telehealth services to clients in New York and have 14 years of experience in the behavioral health field. My expertise includes working with adults from all backgrounds who are experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, abuse, and many more.

My focus

I specialize in supporting adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, abuse, sleep difficulties, relationship issues, poor stress management, low self-esteem, and challenges adjusting to life transitions.

My approach

I utilize an integrative, solution-focused, and person-centered approach to therapy, tailoring my methods to each client's individual needs. I draw from a range of modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, DBT, Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and traditional Psychodynamic Therapy.

My communication style

My style is compassionate, personable, and focused on building a strong therapeutic relationship where you feel safe sharing openly. I'm direct yet considerate, honest yet sensitive, and dedicated to providing insight, discussing goals, and guiding you toward your own healthy conclusions.

My journey to mental healthcare

I've dedicated my career to helping people navigate mental and emotional health challenges. I believe in the power of connection and the importance of tailoring therapy to each person's unique needs and experiences.

My goals for you

I prioritize collaborative goal-setting. Together, we'll identify barriers, develop action plans, provide emotional support, maintain accountability, and problem-solve throughout the process to help you reach your goals.

Our first session

During our initial session, I'll gather information about your mental health and family history, current symptoms and concerns, and therapy goals. You'll have the opportunity to ask questions, address concerns, process emotions, and actively shape your treatment direction.
