Getting to know D'Jonita Cottrell
*This provider does not accept any Medicaid or Medicare plans*
I work with clients who feel stuck-whether that's in their relationships, thoughts, careers, or life in general. My goal is to help you feel less stuck by providing collaborative, direct support focused on problem-solving and implementing lasting solutions. I believe therapy should help you gain insight into who you are at your core while also building the tools you need to face challenges with confidence.
I offer a warm, honest space where I’ll hold you accountable to your goals and gently challenge you toward meaningful change. Together, we’ll navigate life’s difficulties with support and grounding.
If you're considering therapy, it's a great step toward positive change. Finding the right clinician can take time, but don't be discouraged-the relationship between clinician and client is key. Be intentional in your search and take that important first step with courage!
D'Jonita Cottrell has a Master’s in Social Work from the University of Pennsylvania, School of Social Policy and Practice. D'Jonita is a Licensed Social Worker, LSW SW141657 (PA) / LCSW2120597 (MA) at Cerebral. Supervised by Erin Sandler, Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker, LICSW CW024073.
What should a new client know about working with you?
Whether you have done therapy before, are returning after a long break, or are a seasoned client, I welcome you into this space! I have worked extensively with clients navigating a stressful adjustment period (ex: new job, grad school); struggling with motivation; experiencing relationship difficulties (both romantic and nonromantic); and struggling with self-esteem and sense of self. My clients are ready to challenge themselves and prepared to hold themselves accountable for the difficulties that come with accomplishing lasting change. Ultimately, they truly want to better understand themselves and their relationship to others.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
Welcome! I know that therapy can feel intimidating and daunting. But my goal is to build a connection that feels authentic and natural to you, so you feel comfortable being open about who you are and what you want to achieve.
In our sessions, you’ll find a warm inviting space where I’ll be honest and hold you accountable to your goals. I aim to cultivate a healthy sense of challenge that encourages you to work toward meaningful change. Together, we’ll work collaboratively to discover the solutions and strengths that already exist within you– and also try some new skills along the way. My hope is that you’ll feel grounded and supported as we tackle life’s difficulties as a team.
Even if you’re unsure about therapy, I encourage you to reach out and book a free consultation call to see if we’re a good fit! Remember, you don’t have to do it all alone.
