Jamila McCoy, MS, LPCC

I am a dedicated and passionate professional with a wealth of experience in the criminal justice and mental health fields. I earned a Bachelor’s degree from Western State College in 2000, with a double major in Political Science and Sociology, emphasizing in Criminal Justice. Throughout my career, I have gained extensive experience in addressing trauma, anger management, domestic violence, and supporting adolescents, including LGBTQI youth and adults. My work is characterized by a non-judgmental and engaging approach, underpinned by a strong foundation in Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused techniques, with plans to further refine my theoretical approach. After obtaining my master’s, I initially focused on family and other career opportunities before returning to therapy. I obtained my Licensed Professional Counselor Candidate (LPCC) credential in April 2023, with plans to achieve the Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) designation by April 2025. My experience with diverse populations and commitment to helping people of all walks of life underscores my dedication to the field.
