Getting to know Jason Gillard

Hi there, I'm Jason! My name is Jason Gillard, LCSW, and I specialize in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). I earned my Master’s in Social Work from the University of Southern California. In 2023, I earned the DBT-LBC certification, awarded to clinicians who demonstrate excellence in delivering adherent DBT, based on standards set by Marsha Linehan, the founder of DBT. This certification is the gold standard in DBT, with fewer than 500 certified clinicians worldwide. My approach Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) focuses on identifying the challenges a patient faces and working together to discover more effective solutions. It emphasizes core skills like mindfulness, interpersonal effectiveness, emotion regulation, and distress tolerance. DBT helps individuals reduce bitterness and emotional suffering by adopting healthier, more effective behaviors in everyday life. My focus I have worked with a wide range of patients, including those with multiple concerns and those experiencing suicidal thoughts. My approach has been effective in addressing depression, anxiety, and Borderline Personality Disorder, helping individuals navigate these challenges with better coping strategies. My communication style I believe in working collaboratively with my patients. My goal is to understand what you want to achieve from therapy and support you in reaching those goals. My communication style balances providing support and offering motivation to help you make meaningful progress. My journey to mental healthcare I've always been the friend who listens and offers support. Coming from a family of healers, I’ve long recognized this as a strength. Helping others feels natural to me, and over the years, I’ve developed the skills needed to address specific behaviors. I believe there’s a key to every lock—it just takes time and effort to find the right key for each challenge.
