Jason Puchalsky, LICSW

I have worked in a variety of settings including inpatient, outpatient, community mental health, and addiction treatment. I use a strengths-based approach to help a client move forward with their goals and work through barriers to doing so. I believe in listening first. My approach I utilize cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavioral therapy to help with getting to the core of an issue and reshaping negative thought patterns. I also incorporate mindfulness into my work when appropriate. My focus I typically work with individuals who are new or newer to therapy and explore ways to move through life's obstacles. I treat a variety of conditions including anxiety, depression, ADHD, men's issues, substance use, and alcohol use. My communication style Having worked with individuals for the past 10 years, I have a strong understanding of getting to the root of an issue and working through current barriers. I believe in a collaborative and supportive relationship with people that will assist them with enhancing their strengths, engaging in meaningful life activities, and creating new abilities to achieve their desired life goals.
