Jonathan Meza,
LPCC #5916
Hello! I’m a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with over a decade of experience in the mental health field. I’ve worked extensively with children, adolescents, and adults in individual sessions to guide them onto a healing path.
My areas of expertise include addressing depression, anxiety, anger, life adjustments, trauma effects, grief, and self-harm symptoms. I offer interventions to help clients learn coping skills, build insight, manage tasks, practice mindfulness, and process trauma. With a focus on cultural competence for the BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ community, each treatment plan is collaboratively tailored to meet your unique needs.
I draw from various therapeutic approaches, including EMDR, Trauma-Focused and regular Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, and Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT). Additionally, I have experience in grief counseling, ADHD management, faith-based counseling, and play therapy.
As a therapist, I’m known for my attentive listening and compassionate approach. I believe that life’s challenges can lead to incredible personal growth. I gently guide clients, respecting their individual pace in self-discovery and motivation to achieve their goals.
On a personal note, I’m a US Army veteran who has navigated the grief and loss of a child. Fluent in Spanish, I was raised by immigrant parents from Mexico and El Salvador. My daily inspiration comes from being a husband, a blessed father of two, and my passion for music, art, science, technology, geek culture, nature, and spirituality.
