I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who earned my Master’s Degree in Counseling, with a specialization in Clinical Mental Health from Holy Cross University. I am a National Certified Counselor and a member of the American Counseling Association. I am currently advanced trained and working toward my certification in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Story Informed Trauma Therapy (SITT), and Play Therapy.
Prior to working as a counselor, I have worked with populations that have been greatly impacted by trauma. My experience includes working with individuals, couples, and families dealing with a variety of traumatic and relational issues.
I utilize an attachment framework derived from Emotionally Focused Therapy and Story Informed Trauma Therapy (SITT) to help my clients understand how they came to be who they are. Validating the client and how their behaviors make sense, aids in their understanding and acceptance of themselves. We can learn new behaviors once we have identified the unhealthy ones creating new cycles and securing bonds between partners.
My counseling style is attachment-based, which means we look at what you learned by those who raised you, how you found comfort as a child, did you have anyone safe, were emotions safe to express and how are these items impacting your life today.
We all struggle throughout life and I was no exception. Acknowledging the struggle is a huge step towards success along with finding the right therapist. We only know what we were taught and how to react to situations from those who raised us. You deserve to be the best you possible and I am here to help you find that. Let me help you discover new ways to a happy and healthier life.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Jamie Gaskin. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
I started therapy again to help process some family issues and having Jamie's help has truly been a blessing. She's a great listener and gives me a good perspective so I can focus on myself and create healthy boundaries. I am so grateful to have Jamie as my therapist.

I had the pleasure of working with Jamie for two sessions on here, and I can say that both times were incredibly valuable. She has a way of making you feel completely at ease, creating a safe space for open and honest dialogue. Even though our time was brief, the impact was significant.

Jamie is great! She also really punches me to figure out what it is that I want/ need to work on, instead of just telling me.
