Jamie Reilly, LPC
THERAPIST
Empathetic
Grounded
Insightful
My mom once said that even as a kid I “always wanted to talk about something.” I’ve always been curious about connecting people—what makes them tick, how they feel, and how they heal. Becoming a therapist has been the most natural way for me to put my personality, talents, and God-given gifts to use. I genuinely believe this work is my calling. It’s one of the most meaningful ways I can show up for myself and my community—with empathy, presence, and maybe a little humor along the way.

Therapeutic Style + Approach
What can clients expect during their first session with you?
During our first session, I like to get a big-picture sense of your life by checking in on your 8 dimensions of wellness—things like emotional health, relationships, work, spirituality and self-care. It’s not a quiz (promise), just a way for me to understand what’s going well and where therapy might be able to help make life a little better. I’ll also ask what you’re hoping to get out of therapy and how I can be a helpful partner in that process. By the end, we’ll have a starting blueprint to build from—one that’s tailored to you.
Personal Touch + Personality
What hobbies or interests do you have that might surprise people?
I love bicycling around town (it’s my favorite kind of active meditation), painting ceramics when I need a creative reset, and—plot twist—I play a mean game of poker. I think having a mix of active, creative, and strategic hobbies helps keep me balanced and grounded.
WORKING WITH CLIENTS
What is your approach to helping clients set and achieve their goals?
II use a lot of motivational interviewing techniques to help clients explore what they truly want and find the inspiration to pursue it. We’ll break long term goals down into manageable steps, and I’ll support you in discovering your own strengths along the way. I also like to keep things flexible, so we can adjust as we go, ensuring you’re always moving toward what feels most important to you.
Therapy Philosophy
What’s a common myth about therapy you wish you could debunk?
A common myth is that therapy is only for people with "big problems." In reality, therapy is for anyone who wants to better understand themselves, improve their well-being, or work through any of life’s challenges. It’s not just about crisis moments—it's about growth, healing, and gaining clarity at any stage of life.
Personal Well-Being + Self-Care
Can you share a personal strategy you use to manage stress?
One personal strategy I use to manage stress is assigning myself a theme song every so often—like a pep talk in musical form. It not only helps me get into the mindset I want but also changes my mood and empowers me. It’s a fun and effective way to reset and stay grounded when things get overwhelming.
Final Thoughts + Encouragement
If a client could only remember one thing after a session with you, what would you hope it would be?
If a client could only remember one thing after an initial session with me, I hope it would be that that it’s okay to not be okay. I want them to feel like I was genuinely there for them-listening, supporting, and meeting them where they are, without any judgment.
