Meet Jas (any pronouns)
Founder, Clinical Social Worker, Therapist
An affirming and empowering therapeutic space to explore your emotions, experiences, and identities freely.
At Fragile Therapy, I see the strength in your sensitivity, empathy, and tenderness. I view these qualities as powerful assets on the journey towards healing and growth. In our sessions, I honor and validate the full range of emotions and vulnerabilities that you may bring, recognizing that they are essential parts of your unique human experience.
My therapeutic approach is deeply rooted in social justice principles. I recognize the impact of systemic inequalities, oppression, and discrimination on mental health, and I am dedicated to addressing these issues with cultural humility and sensitivity. I believe in fostering a collaborative and authentic therapeutic relationship, where trust, respect, and compassion are at the core. Through our connection, we will work together to navigate life's challenges, cultivate resilience, and embrace your authentic self.
As we embark on this journey together, my goal is to empower you to embrace your strengths, find your voice, and build a greater sense of self-acceptance and self-compassion. I am here to walk alongside you as you uncover your inherent worth and resilience, supporting you in every step towards a more fulfilling and joyful life.
Thank you for considering me as your therapist, and I look forward to the opportunity to work together on your path towards healing and transformation.
“Genuine love is rarely an emotional space where needs are instantly gratified. To know love we have to invest time and commitment...dreaming that love will save us, solve all our problems or provide a steady state of bliss or security only keeps us stuck in wishful fantasy, undermining the real power of the love -- which is to transform us.”
