Jermaine Watson

My communication style

I prioritize clear, open communication to create a supportive, non-judgmental environment. I practice active listening and will give you opportunities to reflect on your experiences as an empathetic partner. If we're working through something challenging, you can expect me to be calm and patient.

My journey to mental healthcare

I started my career working in a juvenile detention center and met a counselor who encouraged me to look into the field as he liked my psychoeducational groups. I was actually pursuing a career in law enforcement because I majored in criminal justice. I realized I have a pretty 'chill' personality so I pivoted.

My goals for you

Therapy is a partnership. Together, we will identify and set goals that matter to you whether they focus on improving relationships, building self-esteem or another personal objective. We do not have to be robotic and when needed we can adapt our plan at any time to ensure it is always meaningful and relevant to you.

Our first session

Our first session will be an opportunity for us to get to know one another. We'll discuss your background and what brings you to therapy. Therapy is a process, and we'll continue to build our work together over time. We'll take it one step at a time, and I'm here to guide you through each step of the process.
