About Jama Thurman
I’m so happy you are looking for help for anxiety, stress, depression, or career counseling. I have been helping people work through their problems, learn coping strategies and tips, and make positive changes for a long time, and I would love to help you. I know it can be hard to ask for help, to find someone you can trust who is easy to talk to. Let me tell you a little bit about me so you feel more comfortable reaching out.
Career Counseling
If you are looking for help with your career, you have come to the right place! Career counseling is one of my specialties because I know what it is like to feel stuck in a job you hate. I used to be an engineer but wasn’t fulfilled or satisfied with my work. I decided to go back to school to be a counselor and I love what I do now! I know I can help people and I can really see the difference I make every day.
I’ve helped hundreds of people (both adults and teenagers). I can help you figure out what you want to study, start a new career or find a great job. I use career assessments and tools to help you find a career you will love. I have helped hundreds of people write amazing resumes and practice interviewing to find great jobs.
Stress and Anxiety
If you are feeling anxious or stressed about life, I know how you feel. We all feel overwhelmed and stressed sometimes. What do you do to help you relax or take your mind off things? I love to read, watch TV comedies, enjoy the sunshine, and play games. Sometimes I color, and I love solving the Rubik’s cube for fun! I know, it’s nerdy, but I used to be an engineer, right?
I can help you figure out how to solve problems and gain confidence. There are so many strategies and techniques I can teach you so you will be able to manage your emotions better. These coping skills can help you work through your anger and stress and feel happier and calmer and find your place.
Christian Counseling
If you are looking for counseling from a Christian perspective, let me know. My counseling degree is from Dallas Theological Seminary. If you’re not interested in Christian counseling, don’t worry, we don’t have to talk about it. It is completely up to you. It’s your session.
Positive Changes
Change is possible and I am here to help. I want to help you grow and achieve your goals. You don’t have to figure it out alone, I will be with you every step of the way. I will help you change your negative beliefs and focus on your strengths.
Teenagers and Adolescents
I love working with teenagers! Being a teenager today is hard! Social media affects our self-esteem. Teenagers feel anxious and worried about fitting in and making friends. I used to be really shy meeting new people when I was a teenager, but I learned ways to build my confidence. Now I love networking and connecting with others!
Can I help you?
I’ve helped a lot of people work through a lot of problems. I’ve worked in schools, universities, and counseling centers. I would love to help you solve your problems, learn coping skills, feel happier and confident, and change your life.
