Jack Szary, LMHC

I often see clients who are experiencing anxiety, stress, or mental health challenges related to either their present life circumstanecs or past experiences of trauma. These challenges can often leave you feeling insecure, inadequate, or unsatisfied with personal achievements and abilities. In our work together we’ll learn to identify the source of your emotional distress and build an understanding around thought patterns and held beliefs contributing to these experiences.

My clients typically have a strong desire to succeed, minimize rejection, and achieve excellence. Over time, these pursuits can erode your confidence in taking risks and maintaining courage in the face of adversity. It can make maintaining relationships with your partner, your work, your goals, or even your closest friends feel like an uphill battle against a never-ending wave of self-doubt.

My goal is to help you find the meaning and purpose you deserve in your life crucial toward overcoming these challenges. Through exploration of strengths, weaknesses, and abilities you will form a stronger sense of personal identity and confidence. You will work to reestablish healthy habits, reframe and process unhelpful thought patterns, and develop increased confidence in personal abilities. You will cultivate positive habits around healthy communication and effective conflict resolution and achieve a greater level of interpersonal satisfaction, pride, and self-worth. Even if it doesn't seem like it at first, these changes will soon bring immense satisfaction, and eventually, the phrase "I'm worth it!" will become a natural part of your everyday life.

Over the course of my career, my desire for personal growth and commitment to continuous and persistent learning has afforded me a diverse collection of healing tools and modalities that I offer my clients. I aim to assist you in exploring the challenging unknowns of your inner mind by utilizing the resources that I have available to you. Through our work together, we will identify the suppressed emotional territories of your clandestine awareness to free you from judgment, fear, and self-criticism. We will use modalities such as psychodynamic therapy, cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) and more to ensure you’re equipped with the most effective interventions for your specific needs. This exploration will ultimately lead us to a path of self-discovery and self-empowerment, enabling you to live a life of joy and optimism.
