Getting to know Jeffrey Ottowitz

Hello there, I am looking forward to working with you. My goal is to create a therapeutic relationship with each of my clients that gives them the necessary agency to create a life they deem worth living. I approach every session with full presence, empathy, compassion, and a sense of humor. Since 2002, I have worked with a variety of populations in outpatient and community-based mental health programs. I treat ADHD, depression, anxiety, mood disorders, and parenting issues. I use cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), and mindfulness techniques to achieve optimal client outcomes. I hold a Master’s in Social Work from the University of Central Florida and a Bachelor’s degree from the University of North Carolina. If this is the care you are searching for, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

Dr Jeffery was cordial and listened to my problems patiently. He ensured not to rush into things while letting me share thoughts. Good experience so far,
Jeff helped me out through PTSD and anxiety that I've been dealing with since childhood via EMDR and was a really big help in re-processing the way I perceived traumatic events that negatively impacted the way I live my life into a healing and learning moment with supplemental tools. He is very patient, kind, understanding, and very smart!
Good experience
Jeffrey is an excellent listener and observer and makes sure to work with me on pinpointing the aspects that need more attention, setting goals and making sure the progress towards those goals is monitored. I tend to drift in my thinking and delivery and he strikes a very good balance, I think, between letting me drift and share whatever comes to mind and steering me towards focusing on specific problems and goals. He has helped me identify the elements in my life that I need to work on reframing positively to make sure I'm focused on those. Overall, I'm finding my sessions with Jeffrey very helpful.
Prompt, friendly, professional, helpful.
