Jill Mays

My communication style

I work very collaboratively with clients to set goals and develop individualized, "you-centered" care plans. My goal is to build a therapeutic alliance based on trust and mutual respect. I offer a compassionate and relational space that helps clients feel fully seen and known without judgment throughout the counseling process.

My journey to mental healthcare

I don't think I chose to be a counselor; I think the profession chose me. I have a deep desire to help others overcome personal challenges, to make a positive impact on people's lives, and to witness meaningful growth in people. This passion stems in part from my connection to struggles that we all face and from a natural gift of empathy.

My goals for you

My goal is to help you take control of your life and achieve your personal and professional goals. After several sessions, you will become well-versed in handling issues whenever and wherever they arise. You don't have to face your struggles alone.

Our first session

In our first session, we'll work together to understand your unique needs and begin developing a plan tailored to you. I may suggest between-session activities like reading, journaling, brief assignments, or self-care options to reinforce learning and skill-building.

I identify as...

• Female
• Black or African American
