“Jay is the best! I had the pleasure of working with him weekly for the past year and some. He was understanding, flexible, and empathetic. He made me feel comfortable and like I could discuss anything and everything. The techniques he taught me changed how I think about my relationships and myself as well as the way I communicate. I will be forever grateful and I can not recommend him enough. Thank you, Jay!! ”

Getting to know Jay Varela

UpLift Behavioral Health providers do not issue prescriptions for substances controlled by any federal or state agency or other drugs that may be harmful because of their potential for abuse. UpLift Behavioral Health reserves the right to limit the types of medications that may be prescribed by its doctors and nurse practitioners. All prescriptions furnished by UpLift Behavioral Health care providers are issued in accordance with applicable federal and state law as well as UpLift Behavioral Health policy. Hi, I'm Jay. I specialize in treating anxiety, trauma, and depression, but I have an array of tools and techniques to help with other issues, such as PTSD, eating disorders, and relationship challenges. I hold a Master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Capella University and a Bachelor's degree from the University of Virginia. I'm also a Level 3 Advanced TEAM-CBT Therapist. This approach emphasizes the use of evidence-based tools and techniques, empathy and understanding, and data to ensure you receive the most effective and efficient care possible. The first step toward a brighter tomorrow is reaching out. Let's schedule a brief call to explore your needs, discuss your goals, and determine how we can work together to bring about the change you're looking for.
