Jonathan West, LCSW

Psychotherapist
UT
My name is Jonathan West, and I am a licensed clinical social worker with a Master’s in Social Work from the University of Central Florida. During therapy, I believe it is important to take a client-centered approach toward addressing any presenting issues. You know yourself best, and I will be a tour guide in helping you overcome any obstacles. My approach I take a client-centered approach where you are in the driver's seat. I see myself as the navigator, helping you get where you need to go, but it is up to you to push the accelerator. I utilize a variety of theories to navigate, such as solution-focused therapy, motivational interviewing, CBT, and DBT, to name a few. My focus I have typically worked with populations such as Native Americans, at-risk youth, senior citizens, and those experiencing grief. I am more than willing to help navigate a variety of issues including depression, anxiety, trauma, grief/loss, relationship and attachment difficulties, career challenges, religion/spirituality, self-esteem, and 12-step recovery. I tend to stay away from short-term, crisis interventions, as I recognize that I need time to build trust to be beneficial in crisis situations. I also recognize that couples counseling is not my strong suit. My communication style I tend to be fairly light-hearted and easy-going, able to go with the flow. I like to spend 5–10 minutes discussing rapport and trust-building topics at the start, then gradually move into more difficult subjects. Whatever the situation demands, I am able to mirror the client. My journey to mental healthcare I have always enjoyed serving others. I worked with at-risk adolescents in a non-therapeutic role, helping reframe their perspectives and enhance their lives in meaningful ways. That experience inspired me to pursue learning better ways to serve others and improve lives and relationships through therapy.
