Emily Jalajas
Hi! I am Emily Jalajas. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and received my Master of Social Work Degree from Rutgers University. I have experience establishing relationships with individuals from diverse racial, cultural, and socio-economic backgrounds. My therapeutic work addresses a range of issues, including anxiety, depression, ADHD and emotional dysregulation. I specialize in supporting clients across the lifespan, with a particular focus on adolescents and young adults navigating life transitions. In my free time, I enjoy doing CrossFit, traveling, spending time outside and being with my dog.
Any time a client achieves one of their goals, it feels like abreakthrough to me. Some of my proudest moments have been witnessing myclients’ growth throughout their mental health journey. Specifically, I’veparticularly enjoyed working with high school students transitioning tocollege and embracing adulthood.
I specialize in helping individuals understand how their thoughtsinfluence their feelings and behaviors. I primarily use acognitive-behavioral and strengths-based approach, with an emphasis onmindfulness. I will help you to develop healthy coping strategies andself-regulation skills to enhance your ability navigate any challenges. Itake a person-centered approach to goal setting, recognizing that this isyour treatment journey. My role is to support and assist you in achievingyour goals.
Our first session is an opportunity for us to get to know each other.We’ll also begin exploring what brought you to therapy and identify yourgoals.
I became a social worker because of my deep desire to help others. I’vealways cared for those around me and genuinely value being a source ofsupport. My goal is to help people feel better and thrive.
