"Inhaling deeply, I bring a sense of calm to both my body and mind. As I exhale slowly, a gentle smile emerges. Anchored in the present moment, I acknowledge its singularity." - Thich Nhat Hanh
Greetings! I'm Jummy, a licensed professional counselor with authorization to practice in Pennsylvania, Delaware, and New Jersey. My specialization lies in addressing Perinatal Depression/Anxiety Disorders. My dedication revolves around the transformation of lives, particularly within communities of color, with a strong focus on women. My mission involves providing a secure sanctuary for women, fostering their self-assurance and preparedness.
Following the birth of my daughter in 2018, a blend of passion and frustration ignited the birth of Relinquish and Transcend Counseling in 2019. This platform was carefully crafted to offer a secure, empathetic, and confidential space tailored to the needs of the black community, placing special emphasis on women. My objective is to champion women, empowering them to become their own advocates and rewrite their life stories.
The solutions you seek are already intrinsic to you; my role is to assist in their revelation by imparting skills and techniques that reignite your inherent creativity and intuition. This guidance is supported by validation and encouragement. Utilizing diverse methodologies, I will offer fresh perspectives on challenging issues. Together, we'll collaboratively devise a personalized wellness regimen designed to cultivate greater gratitude in your life. Embracing empathy and abstaining from judgment, my holistic approach integrates mindfulness training to supplant ineffective coping mechanisms.
I possess advanced expertise as a Clinician at the Mastered Level, accumulating more than a decade of experience in offering assistance to adolescents, teenagers, young adults, parents, veterans, and seniors across a wide array of environments. Those encountering challenges related to stress, anxiety, trauma, self-esteem, stress management, grief and loss, relationships, parenting, or addiction can gain substantial advantages from therapeutic intervention.
My primary objective revolves around dedicating myself to the treatment, objectives, and progress of my clients, achieved through the establishment of a secure setting where they can express themselves and evolve.
My approach commences with an acknowledgment of clients' mental, emotional, and developmental positions. I collaborate with clients to pinpoint and address issues, establish and attain goals, and facilitate healing from previous trauma, addiction, and related concerns. I extend my support in navigating emotions, cultivating effective coping strategies, and enhancing overall emotional well-being.
I am unwaveringly committed to crafting a secure environment, even through remote means such as teletherapy, enabling clients to engage in therapeutic sessions from the familiarity of their own residences. I eagerly anticipate the opportunity to guide you on your journey towards personal growth and enduring transformation.
I am a Master’s Level Clinician with a specialty concentration in trauma-focused therapy. I am also a Certified Anger Management Specialist - I (CAMS I) through the National Anger Management Association (NAMA). I utilize evidence-based practices to implement personalized treatment for my clients. Therapy is not one size fits all which is why I integrate several specialties including humanistic, CBT, and solution-focused techniques. Solution-focused therapy can help you address your concerns by creating a future that is goal-directed and solution oriented. My hope is to support you in navigating your current challenges and developing a future that you desire. In my experience, I have worked with children, adjudicated adolescents, and young adults to navigate difficult transitions and address presenting issues. I also have experience working with individuals with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities (I/DD), as well as individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and their families. I enjoy helping clients become more self-aware and develop new healthy ways to creatively cope. I believe that everyone's process is different, so I offer support to my clients that is tailored to their needs. Together we can find ways to become the healthier you that you desire.

My name is Jeanine, I am a psychotherapist based in Philadelphia. I currently hold a Master’s degree in school counseling and have over 10 years of experience working with children and families. I am dedicated and passionate about helping others reach their full potential through a strength based approach. My approach to therapy is focusing on the positive attributes of a person or group, rather than the negative. Focusing on strengths doesn’t mean we ignore challenges, it just means giving yourself more credit even in tough situations. I believe it is important to encourage people to make the best choices for themselves, while never forgetting that they are the author of their own story.
