Getting to know Jahira James
I am a licensed clinical social worker in Virginia and Washington D.C. with over 20 years of experience supporting individuals facing depression, self-esteem challenges, severe mental illness, trauma, attachment issues, anxiety, and other mood disorders. I hold a Master’s in Social Work from Norfolk State University. My work includes conducting structural family therapy, couples therapy, child therapy, and assisting those experiencing separation, loss, and parenting difficulties.
What should a new client know about working with you?
My approach combines client-centered therapy, solution-focused, cognitive-behavioral therapy, and mindfulness. We will also work together to identify your strengths and help to find ways to use them to help create what you want and need in life. Within the therapeutic relationship, we will work to develop goals to support your individual needs and move towards change.
I believe that prioritizing one's mental health is an investment in self, it is an active step towards healing.
I look forward to working with you.

More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
