You may be a good fit for Jamie’s care if...
You are struggling with your relationship to food, body, or eating patterns and you're ready to explore healing that goes beyond diet culture and embraces your body's innate wisdom.
You are exploring burnout and you need affirming, knowledgeable support as you navigate this deeply personal journey toward authenticity.
You are neurodivergent or suspect you might be and you want to understand your unique neurological makeup while developing tools that support your thriving rather than forcing you to fit neurotypical expectations.
You are experiencing difficulty in your relationship and you're curious about how nervous system regulation and attachment patterns might be influencing your connection with your partner.
You are caught in cycles that no longer serve you - whether in relationships, self-talk, or behavioral patterns - and you're ready to understand these patterns with compassion rather than judgment.
You are interested in therapy that includes your body and nervous system rather than just talking, and you're open to exploring breathwork, movement, or somatic awareness as part of your healing process.
You are a highly sensitive person or empath who feels deeply affected by the energy around you and you want to learn how to honor your sensitivity while developing healthy boundaries.
You are navigating a major life transition - becoming a parent, career changes, relationship shifts, or identity exploration - and you want support that honors both the challenge and the growth inherent in change.
You are ready to move slowly and intentionally in your healing process, understanding that sustainable change happens when we create safety first rather than forcing breakthroughs.
You are looking for a therapist who understands the athletic mindset or the unique challenges of transitioning from competitive sports to life beyond athletics.
You are tired of being told what's wrong with you and you're ready to work with someone who sees your struggles as adaptive responses that made sense given your circumstances.
You are seeking genuine healing rather than just coping skills and you're willing to explore the deeper patterns and root causes beneath your symptoms.
You are in a mixed neurotype relationship or family where people regulate differently, and you want to learn how to honor these differences while building connection and understanding.
You are ready to become a cycle-breaker in your family or community, interrupting patterns of trauma, shame, or disconnection that have been passed down through generations.
You want therapy to feel nourishing and regulating rather than overwhelming or retraumatizing, and you appreciate a collaborative approach where your inner wisdom guides the work.
You are committed to showing up for yourself even when the work feels challenging, and you understand that healing is a process that unfolds in its own timing.
You are a parent or caregiver feeling overwhelmed by the intensity of supporting a neurodivergent, struggling, or highly sensitive child, and you need your own space to process and regulate so you can show up more skillfully for your family.
You are parenting differently than you were parented and you need guidance interrupting inter-generational patterns while developing new ways of nurturing that feel authentic and sustainable to your family.
Important Notes:
Therapy services are not appropriate for mental health emergencies, active psychosis, or high-risk suicidal ideation. If you are experiencing symptoms such as hallucinations, delusions, severe disorientation, loss of contact with reality, or thoughts of harming yourself or others, please seek immediate medical attention at an emergency room or call 911. These conditions require specialized medical evaluation and intervention that cannot be provided through outpatient therapy.
