Jami Lash, Registered Intern

jami lash

Hello! My name is Jami. I am a registered mental health counseling intern who currently serves in the Seminole County Public School System as a high school counselor. 

I provide individual, couples, or family counseling to support clients through current short-term trials and long-term mental health diagnosis. Choosing to go to counseling can be a vulnerable decision and yet one that is highly empowering and impactful. Each client possesses unique strengths that contribute to the problem solving nature of counseling. My belief is no one understands your life better than you; therefore, your strengths will be very crucial in the counseling process.

I have worked for five years as a high school guidance counselor, working in the Florida public high schools. As a guidance counselor, I specialized in working with anxious teens helping them focus on problems such as focusing, planning, organization, and executive function tasks. When working with teens diagnosed with ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder, anxiety, and depression, I aim to help clients with building coping skills, self-esteem, and processing grief/trauma as applicable. 

Knowing the intricacies of the public school system gives me a unique perspective of helping teens navigate their surrounding social spaces while working collaboratively with parents/guardians and understanding what resources are available. 

My education and experience at the University of Florida has prepared me to not only help teens, but also young adults, college students, and couples/family counseling. I am certified in United Marriage Enhancement Training (U-MET), the first step in UF’s Research extension course, SMART COUPLES, which focuses on effective communication, conflict resolution, and relationship strengthening. Having completed pre-marital counseling with my husband, I am a first-hand believer in the power of open and positive communication, and how it transforms relationships. 

 I look forward to assisting you through life’s sometimes tough transitions and supporting your family’s needs. My availability is primarily Monday evenings from 4pm-7:30pm and varying other times as needed.
