“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

Hi, I'm Jay. With over 10 years of experience as a Licensed Professional Counselor (MA), I specialize in helping individuals navigate anxiety, trauma, depression, and more. My goal is to help you achieve lasting, meaningful change so you can thrive. We'll work together to understand your challenges and set empowering goals, creating a tailored treatment plan that fits your lifestyle and unique needs. My compassionate yet direct style allows for open sharing in a judgment-free space. I'll be there with you each step of the way, providing support and accountability to help you reach your full potential. In our first sessions, we'll explore your story, identify strengths, and map out goals for treatment. I'll get to know you on a human level while gathering relevant information to customize your care. I strive to create a warm, trusting environment where you can feel comfortable being your authentic self. I'll assign personalized homework and gather your feedback to track progress and fine-tune your treatment plan. My approach draws from proven modalities like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), solution-focused brief therapy, and acceptance and commitment therapy. This diversity of tools allows me to be flexible and meet your needs. If you feel stuck in old patterns and are ready to build the life you want, let's connect. Together, we'll determine if my style and methods are a good fit for you and your goals. I look forward to supporting you on your journey to a more meaningful and fulfilling life.
