“My appointments with Jamaal are always met with calmness and enthusiasm. His ability to create an environment of trust with no judgment and yet accountability with the ability to recall past sessions and what I thought may be an insignificant point. He makes you feel heard and understood. He also has the ability to make you feel as if you’re talking with a friend. He is relatable and can really hone in on what your trying to articulate when your at a loss for words. I never feel rushed or cut off. Or TIMES UP. I truly look forward to my sessions. When they end I feel like I have clarity and peace. He the perfect reset button. ”

“Every therapist I ever had throughout my life was either ignorant to the problems I was facing or quit on me because my issues were beyond what they could deal with. That is every therapist except Jamaal. After so many awful experiences I had an extremely negative view on therapy, but I needed it, and decided to give it one more shot. That was in 2021 and I'm happy to say Jamaal is still my therapist today. I didn't need someone to nod their head and agree with me on everything but someone who could challenge my perspective on things and push me to really think, reflect and work to be a better person. Jamaal genuinely believes in me and if you go into therapy with him, he'll believe in you too and help you navigate whatever turmoil you are facing. I'm a 25 y/o woman of color and if you're thinking about having Jamaal as your therapist I 100% encourage you to move forward with him because you'll work with someone who works to listen and understand you. He truly is one of a kind.”
