Jamie Friedman

Jamie Friedman Parker is a Professional Counselor Associate who works with individuals and couples to find safety, rest, and joy within themselves, often in the midst of very challenging circumstances. She works with folks healing from trauma – especially childhood, religious, sexual, and relational traumas – those exploring their authentic identities, and those who want support in life transitions large and small. She believes that you are the expert of your own experience, and together she and her clients create a space where clients can explore deeper layers of their experience, to understand, reframe, and release strategies that no longer serve them, and to take steps towards a richer connection with themselves and others.

In addition to trauma, Jamie specializes in LGBTQ+ issues, collaborative divorce and co- parenting support, racial identity exploration, grief and loss, depression and anxiety, and relational rupture, repair, and estrangement.

Jamie has received training in interventions (Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy, Neuro-affective Relational Model, Emotion Focused Therapy, Internal Family Systems) that work in present time to support and repair traumatic experiences, foster self-awareness and support, and strengthen resiliency. Mindfulness and body awareness may also show up in session to release trauma held there and to ground clients’ experience.

​

Whether you’ve had many counseling experiences, or this is your very first, Jamie looks forward to learning about who you are and where you want to go while practicing non-judgement, mindful curiosity, and radical acceptance to repair attachment wounds and help you move towards your goals.
