Unlock Your Potential with JEFF AT DRAGONFLY COUNSELING

Anxiety counseling is designed to help you overcome fear, panic, and anxiety. Step into a supportive and non-judgmental environment where you can explore your thoughts and feelings, gain insights into your behavior, and develop strategies to manage your anxiety on a daily basis.

Are things you used to enjoy no longer pleasurable?  Are you having trouble even getting out of bed some mornings?  Depression counseling services can help you overcome feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and despair. I provide a safe, judgment-free environment where together, we can explore your thoughts and feelings, gain insights into your behavior, and develop strategies to manage your mood and get back to being your best self.  

Behind a lot of how we behave and think is unresolved trauma.  I am trained as a trauma-informed therapist and proceed with the possibility of a past trauma beginning from our first meeting together.  For this reason, it is important to me to create a safe, caring space for us to work together as a team. 

We are not carbon copies of one another and our cultural identities directly influence our mental health.  These particular identities may consist of race, gender, sexuality, socioeconomic background, religion, or perhaps folks living with disabilities. Each plays a factor in how we experience the world as well as how we experience mental health treatment.  Therefore, they must be an essential element in the assessment and treatment process for counselors.  Your cultural identity will be embraced at Dragonfly.    

What begins as a way to cope with uncomfortable feelings later morphs into a problem we can no longer get our arms around.  A substance use disorder is a complex condition affecting the decision-making part of the midbrain.  I am trained in the gold standard of addiction counseling--cognitive behavior therapy and motivational interviewing used together to first, get you sober, and second, begin processing the mental health component of your addiction. 

I have been in recovery for more than a decade and feel a close connection with folks who wish to get on top of their addiction(s).   

The days after a hospital discharge can be a difficult thing--especially when trying to get started with outpatient services.  I have extensive experience in crisis counseling (suicidal and homicidal thinking as well as formal thought disorders).  I also understand the challenge of navigating the gap between a psychiatric hospital stay and getting connected to services once discharged.  Give me a call and let's work together to get you where you want to be.  

Do you feel like you stuff your anger until it overflows in unwanted places?  Anger management counseling can help you manage and control your anger in healthy ways. Our work together will be to help you identify the root causes of your anger, develop coping skills, and improve your relationships with others.

When we go through difficult life events, it can often leave us feeling stressed, sad, hopeless--or even stuck in the mud.  Together, we can work on how you react to the event, develop ways to cope with the intense negative feelings surrounding the difficult life event, and get you moving forward again.    

Are you experiencing difficulty coping with the loss of a loved one. Dragonfly provides a safe and supportive environment where you can explore your feelings of grief, gain insights into your behavior, and develop strategies to manage your grief and move forward.
