My experience working with children/adolescents from the start of my internship as a high school counselor was uplifting; it taught me how this demographic benefits from having a professional adult they can confide in. I understand therapy could be scary/uncomfortable, so I like to adopt a humanistic approach; which entails building rapport with my clients/getting a better understanding of their interests.

Together with my clients; I'll help normalize their experiences using psychoeducation and provide coping strategies to combat against stressors (using a CBT-modality of treatment). Clients that come to me often struggle with depression, anxiety, academic/family stress, gender/sexual identity issues, trauma and inattentiveness.

I help teens and young adults who feel weighed down by sadness, anxiety, or that persistent voice whispering, I’m not good enough.

As a first-gen Latina therapist and someone who’s navigated my own valleys, I know how daunting it can be to share these vulnerable parts of yourself—especially when you’re young. That’s why I prioritize creating a space where you feel truly safe, heard, and free from judgment. (And parents: I know how hard it is to watch your child struggle. My goal is to help them grow while honoring their need for autonomy.)

At Handspring Health, our work together blends:
• Relational safety — We’ll explore the roots of patterns holding you back, helping you feel understood and curious (not critical) about your own story.
• Gentle skill-building — Practical tools to soften self-doubt, respond to big emotions, and cultivate self-compassion.
• Playful creativity — Therapy isn’t just about direct talk—sometimes emotions hide in metaphors, daydreams, or the TV shows we binge. Together, we’ll explore the stories and symbols that resonate with you (yes, even that anime scene or viral song!), using them as bridges to the feelings that are harder to name.

Together, we’ll help those heavy emotions feel less like enemies and more like parts of your story you can hold with care. You deserve more than just "getting by"—you deserve to thrive, with a therapist who gets it.

When I’m not in sessions, you’ll find me playing with my little one, wandering in nature, or hunting for my next read on BookTok.

What you can expect from our first session together is for us to spend the majority of our time talking about how you have been feeling recently, and me asking questions to better understand how come you may be feeling that way.

The first session is about us building an initial connection and helping me get a sense of where we should go from there. Each individual is different, and I like to listen first before assuming I know what will work best for you moving forward.

I use approaches like mindfulness, positive psychology, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I adjust every session to fit each person’s needs, whether that’s through conversation, hands-on activities, or creative exercises.

At the heart of my work is the belief that “it takes a village.” Supporting a child means supporting the whole family, and I truly see parents and caregivers as essential partners in the process. Being a caregiver is one of the hardest (and most meaningful) roles there is, and I feel honored to walk alongside families as they navigate challenges, build resilience, and create stronger connections.

As for clinical expertise, I bring over 10 years of experience across community mental health, private practice, school-based services, and crisis intervention working with children, adolescents, and families- so I understand just how complex and overwhelming life can feel at times.

Outside of the therapy room, I am a PhD candidate and have the privilege of teaching and mentoring future therapists. Giving back to the field in this way is incredibly meaningful to me, and it keeps me connected to new ideas, perspectives, and the evolving needs of the communities we serve. Don't let the education fool you- I’m usually being outsmarted by my own kids and a Bernedoodle named Noodle!

I am deeply committed to creating a safe and empathetic space where clients can feel heard and understood.

My name is Jocelynn Stallworth and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT161001).

With over 10 years of experience working with youth and families and more than 6 years providing mental and behavioral health services, I have supported individuals across the lifespan in school-based, community, office, and in-home settings.

My background includes clinical experience working with children, adolescents, adults, parents, and families experiencing symptoms related to anxiety, depression, trauma exposure, postpartum challenges, grief and loss, Autism Spectrum Disorder, attachment and relationship difficulties, and life transitions.

As a Black/African American therapist, I have developed a deep appreciation for the impact of culture, identity, family systems, and lived experiences on mental health. This perspective has strengthened my commitment to provide culturally inclusive and responsive care, by upholding respect for diversity factors throughout treatment.

My therapeutic approach is grounded in the following 3 core values: education, skill-building, and empowerment. I help clients understand the connection between their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors while providing evidence-based tools to support progress both in and outside of sessions. I also draw from Positive Psychology to help my clients identify their strengths, build resilience, and increase confidence in their ability to manage life stressors that are connected to presenting symptoms (e.g. anxiety). I view therapy as a collaborative process and value ongoing client feedback to ensure treatment aligns with each person’s goals. My work integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma-Focused CBT, Solution-Focused Therapy, Family Systems Theory, Positive Psychology, Play Therapy, and principles of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA).Whether you are navigating a transition period, healing from life experiences, or seeking personal growth, I look forward to supporting you in building resilience and meaningful change.

That curiosity led her to study psychology and later earn her master's degree in counseling. Since then, Megha has gained experience working in elementary, middle, and high school settings, as well as with adults in private practice. Megha has supported people from many walks of life navigating a wide range of challenges, including but not limited to school stress, big emotions, relationships, trauma, challenging family dynamics, and questions around identity/belonging. Megha takes a strengths based, collaborative approach to therapy and believes clients are the experts of their lives. She works at each client's pace, offering gentle guidance in a safe, supportive, and judgment-free space. She works alongside clients to build coping tools and find solutions that fit their lives. She strives to create an inclusive and affirming environment for LGBTQ+, BIPOC, and neurodivergent clients, as well as those exploring or questioning their identities. Megha is also especially passionate about supporting the chronically ill community. Her goal is to help clients feel heard, supported, and more confident, while building tools they can use in everyday life.

I am a licensed clinical social worker providing evidenced based treatments rooted in cognitive-behavioral and mindfulness therapies. My goal is to create a safe space to explore how your journey has shaped you and offer opportunities for growth where you might feel stuck. I believe we adapt to our circumstances in the best way we know how in the moment, and as a result of that we sometimes develop unhelpful coping habits and lean away from our true selves. With a supportive and therapeutic environment, we will work to uncover your natural resilience and individual strengths that will guide you back to your authentic self.
