Getting to know Jason Straussman

Hi there, I'm Jason! I am a licensed clinical social worker in the Bay Area. Mental health is a critical part of life. Counseling is an amazing opportunity to receive support for managing relationships, dealing with stress, coping with difficult experiences, and clarifying values. My approach I have specialized experience in treating trauma through EMDR therapy and provide expertise in healing from spiritual trauma. My approach is client-centered and based on the power of inner healing. I provide Ketamine-Assisted Therapy in collaboration with Journey Clinical if clients are interested. My focus I work with people from all walks of life and people who are interested in gaining insight into their own past and discovering solutions for their future. I work with many people who are at a transition point or feel stuck and are looking for pathways to move forward. My communication style We create a space of trust together that is built over time and requires reciprocity. I take a more gentle guiding approach but also hold my clients accountable for the change they want to make in their lives. My journey to mental healthcare I became a therapist based on my own struggle with mental health as a young adult and the lack of support I felt in my community. I grew up in a space where you "prayed away" the pain and mental health was stigmatized. I became a social worker to make a broader change in the world and I love working 1 on 1 with people to help them thrive and live their most authentic lives. My goals for you I work collaboratively with clients to incorporate the right interventions and goals that make sense for each person I see. My first session with you Expect to spend time getting to know each other and understanding who you are holistically. I am most curious about your story, what has led you to reach out for therapy, and what you believe might be helpful in healing.
