Professional statement

D'Jonita is a Licensed Social Worker in PA and a Licensed Certified Social Worker in MA who uses a strengths-based perspective, believing that everyone has the capacity for growth and healing. She views therapy as a collaborative journey, guiding clients to discover the solutions and strengths that already exist within them.

D’Jonita tailors her approach to each client’s unique needs, whether it’s exploring childhood experiences, setting weekly goals, or brainstorming solutions. She strikes a balance between providing structure and allowing clients to lead, creating a personalized and supportive experience.

Her approach incorporates psychodynamic theory, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), focusing on processing past experiences and making positive changes in the present.


Message to clients

At the heart of my work is building a strong connection with my clients. I believe that feeling seen and understood is essential for deep engagement in therapy. I create a space where you feel comfortable being upfront about who you are and what you want to achieve. This openness allows you to explore and share the parts of yourself that may be harder to express elsewhere. Together, we’ll work collaboratively to implement meaningful steps that lead to a life that feels authentic and fulfilling to you.
