Chat with me

Hello, I'm Javen a licensed mental health counselor. When I am not working, I enjoy spending time with my dog, working with my aquariums, or spending time in nature. I also enjoy listening to music, and find that creating playlists for different moods is a great coping skill for tackling the different emotions that come up.
