Getting to know Jay Waddick

Hi! I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who keeps therapy real, practical, and down-to-earth. I specialize in trauma, ADHD, anxiety, depression, and life transitions, and I focus on helping you build tools you can actually use in daily life. I believe therapy should feel like a conversation, not a lecture—so I’ll meet you where you are, listen closely, and work alongside you as a teammate.

What should a new client know about working with you?

My approach combines evidence-based strategies like CBT and trauma-informed care with humor, compassion, and real-world application. We’ll break down big challenges into smaller, achievable steps, celebrate wins (big or small), and make sure progress feels possible.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

My goal is for you to leave therapy not only feeling better, but also equipped with confidence, resilience, and skills that last.
