Male Therapists in Vermont

My work as a therapist is to empower and motivate people to access inner resources to lead fulfilling lives, explore emotional experience and its personal meaning, find wellness and harmony in relationships, and grow and change in alignment with their ideals. I believe that the therapeutic relationship opens the door to honest and fruitful self-exploration. Engagement in this relationship mirrors patterns of social interaction in a person's life, illuminating emotional experience and relationship patterns. This approach produces long-term improvements for people suffering from a variety of personal and interpersonal conflicts.

Hello, my name is William Jamara, and I am a licensed clinical mental health therapist. As a client-focused therapist, my approach is centered on providing personalized support and guidance tailored to each individual's unique needs and goals. With years of experience practicing full-time since 2018, I am dedicated to helping my clients achieve their desired outcomes and improve their overall wellbeing.

My practice is dedicated to the idea that there is a warm compassionate presence alive in each of us that is capable of holding our most difficult experiences and healing our deepest wounds. My goal is to help clients begin to identify and change the habitual patterns of reactivity that may be clouding their lives and relationships, become more relaxed and mindful about their emotions and motivations, and find greater clarity in the actions they take. I strive to provide a warm and inviting environment that supports personal growth, self-acceptance, and healing.

I am a firm, sensitive and client-focused therapist with many years of experience helping young people and adults from all types of backgrounds throughout the Northeast and Southeast.

I help clients with individual, family and/or marital and relationship issues, mental health and serious mounting chemical dependency problems.

Being vulnerable and open can feel scary. I take a non-judgmental approach with all my clients no matter what they bring to the therapy space. Listening carefully, reflecting back, gentle challenges, and infusing all parts of the process with compassion (and sometimes humor!) are my style. My clients experience deeper insight, improved symptoms, and a sense that I am truly on their team cheering them on in life.

I am a bilingual psychologist Master who enjoys working with individual adults from different backgrounds. I strive to provide a place where you are supported and safe to begin to explore what troubles you.

In my 10 years practice, I have worked with individuals who struggled with a wide range of issues, depression, anxiety, interpersonal issues, life transition, grief and trauma.

I believe no matter what mental, emotional or physical challenges you are living with, at the heart of being human we are all well. In today's world it is common to experience despair, anger, loneliness and stress. Without support and guidance unhealthy patterns can overwhelm our sense of well being. Together we will journey into the truth of being and discover the path that leads to wellness again. I am flexible and attend to your strengths and encourage activities derived from your own life experience that aid in your capacity to change and thrive.

In addition to weekday hours, I do have weekend sessions that open occasionally. I specialize in meaning and perspective.

When appropriate I like using humor. Laughing is medicinal. Humor helps makes sense of human life.

I specialize in treating individuals, couples and families who are struggling with anxiety and relational turmoil. My approach differs slightly based on the presenting problem. In treating anxiety we will take a close look at the thought processes that inform it. We will then tailor treatment to your situation. When relational turmoil is the presenting concern, we will look at the relational patterns across the span of your life, and explore how these patterns are manifesting in the present. We'll then explore pathways to relational security and empowerment.

As of 5/29/24: Caseload full, can accept clients for waitlist. I work individually with adults, helping those who are struggling with issues related to anxiety, depression, trauma or identity development. I believe that the therapeutic relationship allows people to consider alternative ways of examining their thoughts and emotional responses. I strive to help people develop a more positive relationship with their thoughts and emotions in order to struggle less with daily stressors in a safe, non-judgmental environment.

I invite clients into a supportive atmosphere where they can share and explore their different emotions, experience empathy, and being fully heard. Clients will develop skills to better manage their upsets, fears, or relational challenges, both past and present. From a mindful perspective, I challenge clients to create a ‘half-full' mindset, to gradually move beyond emotional reactivity or overwhelm. Regardless of the challenge, clients will learn to see the opportunities in life, rather than falling victim to upsets, and will gradually move into a new way of being - one with a renewed sense of possibility, peace, and freedom.

Life can present us with very difficult situations and painful experiences. Sometimes we feel stuck. Coping skills that helped in the past may simply not help enough or even make things more difficult. In my practice, I work to provide a safe place in which you and I can build trust and explore together what you are dealing with. As we build a shared understanding of what you are facing and how your situation fits into the greater context of your life, we can work together to identify ways to respond that help you move forward.
