¡Hola! I'm Jettie Z., LPC  

Believer |Behavioral Health Care Leader| Certified EMDR Therapist|Mental Wellness Practitioner and Consultant

​​

I wholeheartedly believe that everyone has an innate ability to access emotional wellness through the mind-body-spirit connection. As a practitioner, I've received advanced training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Trauma. My clinical work is Holy Spirit-led and focuses on the culturally attuned and creative integration of  EMDR  Somatic interventions and Polyvagal Theory.​

​

I earned both my graduate and undergraduate degrees from the illustrious Howard University (HU!). In addition to direct counseling, I have a background in working in the non-profit sector providing program management and technical support to private organizations, the juvenile justice system, local government agencies, community-based agencies, residential treatment centers, and school systems. 

​

I believe in leading by example so I do my best to prioritize Jettie-care. These days it's looking like cooking and sharing meals with family and friends, snuggling my pups, exploring other cultures through travel, listening to música, salsa dancing, long naps, getting lost in museum exhibits,  as well as drinking a coco frío on the beach.
