Licensed Associate Counselor

Therapy is often a matter of tipping the first domino �Milton Erickson

As a counselor, I encourage my clients to take the one, first step towards change.

As Erickson wrote, �Don't ask why the patient is the way they are, ask for what they would change.� With this written statement comes the first step toward working for your organization. I am even more excited for the second step, of hearing from you so we can gather to explore in what ways I can start using my skillset to serve your clients & change our community together.

I received my Licensed Associate Counselor at the end of March 2019. I graduated summa cum laude from Kean University, earning my master�s in counseling. I have honed my skills studying REBT at Albert Ellis Institute in NYC, brief therapy at Milton Erickson Institute in Phoenix, AZ, and couples counseling through the Gottman Institute. I have recently completed the training in trauma competency to become a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional.

Experience gained through my year at an adult inpatient psychiatric unit, from providing individual counseling, leading Yalom-focused therapy groups, and supporting clients through milieu therapy, I found complementary to the evidence-based, research-driven pedagogy I received at university, forming my specific toolkit. The opportunity to develop and then lead a recurring 4-week, 12-module Rational Emotive Behavioral Group Therapy program during my time at an adult voluntary psychiatric unit assisted me in cultivating my skills in crafting client-centered programs that I plan to bring to my future employer.

Being the lead writer for Kean�s team in the 2015 ACA�s ethics competition formally focused my reflection upon the current state of the mental health field, and how we have a responsibility to be agents of change. My desire for a chance to change the field one domino at a time has led me here, and for you to feel free in contacting me either at JasonS------------ or my cell,------------. I look forward to discussing the next steps with you.

Sincerely,
Jason Ian Sack
