Getting to know Jonah Givelber
My name is Jonah Givelber. I am a licensed social worker with a Master’s in Social Work from the University of Texas at Arlington and many years of experience working with children and their families. Using kindness, support, and humor, I try to guide my clients toward a resolution of their problems.
My approach
I frequently use cognitive behavioral therapy to help my clients and their families. There’s nothing like a good behavioral chart to add stability to a chaotic home situation. I employ play therapy with children and strength-based therapy with parents.
My focus
I have worked with many children experiencing trouble following directions at school and at home. I have supported clients impacted by ADHD and anger-management issues. Many of the children I’ve worked with struggled with low self-esteem and feelings of hopelessness.
My communication style
I use humor and understanding to create a safe environment for clients to examine and work on difficult issues.
My journey to therapy
When I started my career, I worked as a school teacher. Though I loved interacting with children, I was more intrigued by their emotional journeys than their academic ones. My goal is to help every child with whom I work feel better about themselves and be better able to navigate their world.
My goals for you
I set achievable and measurable goals with clients.
My first session with you
Clients should expect an open, non-judgmental conversation that explores the reasons for seeking therapy. With children, this conversation is usually held with parental help and perspective.
