As a therapist, I offer a perspective from the outside, listening with empathy and providing nonjudgmental feedback. My therapy is compassionate, non-threatening, direct, and focusing on your strengths offering short term and long term counseling. I work with adults, children, and families. I am trained in EMDR,

Cognitive and Mindfulness based therapies.
Meeting with a therapist for the first time can be scary, so I try to provide a safe environment for you to focus on the issues that are cause you difficulty.

Children and families have the right to a safe and therapeutic environment. I am studying at Walden University to achieve my Master of Social Work working w/ children and families. My expected graduation date is November 2022! As a strong believer of “WE ARE BETTER TOGETHER” I know that there’s so much hope in seeking psychotherapy services, and individual and family counseling. As we as a nation continue to endure the battles in their world, the connectedness of one another should always remain. I have a deep passion with working with children of all ages and I have been committed to advocating for at-risk youth and those experiences unique uncertainties since my very first internship placement in 2007. After eleven years of working with individuals experiencing trauma from intimate partner violence, I moved on to become the Positive Alternative Coordinator at an addiction outpatient treatment center; where bringing hope and joy in the communities is the number one priority. I am also a Certified Prevention Specialist and am trained in the Lifeskills curriculum. As a beginning intern at ACCC, I look forward to connecting with you as I expand my understandings of therapy techniques and approaches!

My hobbies include photography, coordinating events, spending time with my huge family, creating TikTok recipes, napping when I have the time, and traveling.

Hello, My Name is J’Nayle Harkey, and I have a passion for helping adolescents take control of their mental health. And I believe one of the most important things as a Social Worker is to be an active listener. I utilize Trust-Based Relational Intervention (TBRI) and Crisis Intervention with adolescents wanting to overcome their trauma. If you have an adolescent ready to start their journey to self- empowerment, I want to help them recognize their worth.

I have extensive experience with assessing risk and safety issues, as well as referring clients to appropriate services to address any identified needs to move towards positive behavior changes.
