Therapy Through Strength & Resilience With Jayzme (Jay) Perry, LCSW
Rising Beyond Circumstances
You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them.” — Maya Angelou. Therapy through strength and resilience helps you navigate life’s challenges, empowering you to grow, heal, and move forward with confidence.
Life can be overwhelming, but you don’t have to navigate it alone. Therapy through strength and resilience provides a space to process emotions, build confidence, and move toward the life you want.
I believe that change begins with our mindset and the work we put into growth. In therapy, we explore your experiences, set realistic and meaningful goals, and develop tools to help you move forward with clarity and confidence.
My Approach to Therapy
I take an informal, conversational, and person-centered approach to therapy. No two people are the same, and I believe therapy should reflect that. Healing isn’t one-size-fits-all, and I tailor each session to your unique needs, personality, and the phase of life you’re in.
I believe that processing emotions is important, but I also encourage my clients to ask:
👉 What do I want to do about it?
👉 How do I move forward?
Therapy with me is about finding balance—allowing space for reflection, while also building skills for growth. I help my clients set realistic, attainable goals while teaching them to be kinder to themselves along the way.
I use an integrative, person-centered approach, incorporating:
🧠 Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) – Exploring thought patterns and behaviors.
🌿 Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) – Building psychological flexibility and values-based actions.
💬 Solution-Focused & Person-Centered Therapy – Prioritizing strengths, problem-solving, and self-empowerment.
🔎 Psychoanalytic & Emotion-Focused Therapy – Processing deeper emotional experiences.
🛠 DBT Skills – Building emotional regulation and interpersonal effectiveness.
Therapy with me is direct, supportive, and tailored to you as an individual—because your journey should be as unique as you are.
Who I Work Best With
I specialize in working with:
🌟 Women & People of Color navigating identity, self-acceptance, and personal growth.
💪 High achievers & perfectionists looking to build self-compassion and confidence.
🌊 Individuals managing anxiety, stress, and self-doubt.
🗝️ People looking to improve relationships (friendships, romantic, and family dynamics).
✨ Neurodivergent individuals exploring self-acceptance & unmasking.
Therapy with me is about helping you develop confidence, strengthen relationships, and create a deeper connection with yourself.
What to Expect in Therapy With Me
Therapy with me is a balance of support, reflection, and forward movement.
🗣️ A Conversation, Not a Script – Sessions flow naturally while staying focused on your growth.
🌱 A Strengths-Based Approach – We identify what’s working and build upon it.
💡 Self-Compassion Meets Action – Therapy is about acknowledging emotions while also creating meaningful change.
Each session is personalized to your needs—whether that means processing emotions, setting goals, or improving communication skills.
A Little About Me
Outside of therapy, I love spending time with my family and close friends. Relationships and connection bring joy and meaning to my life.
☀️ Some of my favorite things include shopping, enjoying good food 🍪, and sipping on an iced coffee 🧋.
🎶 Music fuels me—I love hip-hop, R&B, pop, and gospel.
💃 And yes, I love dancing! Movement and joy are essential parts of life.
Fun fact: I have a little wiener dog who keeps me on my toes and brings endless laughter.
I also have a Degree in Ethnic Studies and a background in Social Work, which deepens my understanding of how race, culture, and identity shape mental health. I integrate cultural awareness and diversity into my practice, creating a space where all experiences are valued.
