Existential Therapists in Wichita, KS

Jamaal is a mental health professional committed to helping others reach their mental health goals. This may include building healthier relationships, working towards self-actualization, or managing symptoms. Jamaal’s work focuses on building a strong therapeutic alliance in which non-judgmental honesty, and integration of the “here and now” existential framework, helps bring about clarity and confidence from within. This approach has been effective in addressing unwanted behaviors or beliefs, helping overcome grief, anger, or pain, and in bringing about positive change and motivation with those who actively engage.

My approach to therapy honors the innate strength and intuition of clients. Often, clients arrive at therapy feeling lost, out of control, or overwhelmed. I believe therapy can offer a space to connect with ourselves deeply and learn how to listen to our own self-leadership. I offer a warm and compassionate space that also challenges the natural incongruencies of human behavior. I have experience providing therapy to individuals, families, and couples from diverse backgrounds and orientations. I currently see individuals (16+), couples, and families.

I believe services related to mental health should be as normal and attainable as those related to physical health. Science, with a personal and creative flair, should drive these services. I completed a MSW, with a concentration in mental health, from Washington University in St. Louis. During this time I was able to specialize my education and training experience to best fit the role of a mental health therapist. I am able to work with individuals ranging from five years and up, and can address most mental health needs by utilizing a variety of practice models. The role of trauma and traumatic stress is a special area of practice.

I work with individuals of all ages. Through an individualized treatment plan you will gain some valuable tools you can take away to assist you with what you may face during your life's journey. I want you to leave feeling empowered and that you have been heard. Feeling as if you have been heard is a big part of the healing and improvement process. Taking an active role in the process is also essential to becoming a better version of you.

I am not a "normal" person, which means my therapy style is not "normal". There's laughing, joking, getting to the root of the problem, more laughing, crying, baby yoda gets involved, homework assigned that you won't do four times in a row, then you'll do the homework, healing will take place and you'll say "I feel amazing" and I'll say "Right?" So Contact me because therapy and healing doesn't need to be awkward, scary or ultra serious.

As a counselor, I believe in the profound similarities between a kaleidoscope and mental health. Like a kaleidoscope revealing vibrant patterns, I honor your unique experiences, emotions, and perspectives.

Each session is a chance for discovery, uncovering insights and coping strategies for personal growth. I understand the complexity of human emotions, offering empathy as we navigate your journey together. Your individuality is celebrated, just like the diverse beauty in a kaleidoscope's patterns.

When human beings experience severe life stressors or trauma, it’s common for their lives to unravel which often changes the way they view themselves, others, and the world. My passion is to work closely with people to bring them healing and facilitate learning new ways to relate to their emotional pain. I aim to help my clients find healthy perceptions of themselves and strengthen their relationships so they can know themselves as peaceful, whole, confident, and safe.

Life can be full of light, and sometimes equally as much dark. Managing in the dark can be challenging, scary, lonely, and uncertain. Exploring, learning, and developing the tools necessary to bring a little light of your own into that darkness can be so important as you venture down the path. With time, commitment, and some creativity, there is light at then end of the tunnel.
