Getting to know JayDene Albert

Hi there, I'm JayDene! My name is JayDene Albert RN, LCSW-R It has been my pleasure to join my clients on their journey through life's challenges and joys I believe that this vocation is a calling, spiritual as well as physical Most of us desire to be content with ourselves and others Therapy is an outlet to achieve this outcome My approach My approach to therapy is holistic I am warm, supportive, and direct when need be I use several models including CBT, MI, REBT, EBT, and the "Stages of Change" by Prochaska and DiClemente A client's needs should dictate the approach My focus My clients are often dually diagnosed—dealing with medical and emotional conditions that exacerbate each other Common medical issues including heart disease, cancer, AIDS, HIV, COVID, and end-of-life issues can lead to depression and anxiety or vice versa My communication style It is important to provide a safe environment with open discussions about client concerns Very often, my clients are unable to communicate their concerns with family or close friends because of the nature of their problems I tell my clients that coming to therapy should feel "like an old slipper." Finding comfort, concern, and warmth during these times is helpful An understanding of medical conditions, tests, medications, and treatments is a teaching opportunity My journey to therapy In 1979, I was the Head Nurse at a local long-term health-related facility Many of the residents had a long history of mental health issues We interfaced with the Mental Health Services of that area One day, the Chief of Psychiatry asked me if I would be interested in starting a Geriatric Psychiatric Unit at my facility We developed a program and trained staff to treat this population I went on to do nursing in several mental health units and was encouraged by my peers to further my education I graduated from the State University of New York at Buffalo in 2000 with a Master’s in Social Work.
