Jamila Hadden, LPCC

Jamila Hadden is a Kentucky LPCC with 13 years of clinical experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, and depression. She also addresses codependency and related concerns such as family of origin issues, communication problems, and isolation.

Jamila uses straightforward conversation to help people sort through what feels overwhelming. She listens to the problem and then suggests practical steps to try between sessions. Sessions focus on small, doable changes that reduce distress and help people feel more in control of daily life.

Her approach draws on Client-Centered Therapy to center the person's own goals, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to notice and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns, and elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy for distress tolerance and emotion regulation. Motivational Interviewing is used when people want help building or keeping momentum for change.

She has worked across situations that include domestic violence, addiction, caregiver stress, first responder issues, intellectual disability, and blended family concerns. Jamila pays attention to patterns people fall into, such as people-pleasing or losing themselves in relationships, and she helps identify concrete boundary and communication skills.

People who come for help can expect direct, clear conversation about what is getting in the way and what to try next. To begin, the process asks for a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session.
