Profile

Jared is a US-trained clinical psychologist with a specialist interest in individual mental health concerns, the relational health of marriages, parent-child relationships, and families. In addressing individuals with mental health concerns, Jared utilises and integrates a variety of evidence-based approaches including Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Emotion-Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Interpersonal Therapy, Dialectical Behavioural Therapy, and Brief Psychodynamic Therapy.  

Jared has experience addressing post-traumatic stress disorders, complex trauma, obsessive-compulsive disorders (including scrupulosity), depression,  adjustment, generalised anxiety, panic disorder, achievement-related anxiety, ADHD, bipolar I, and personality disorders. His client profile ranges from pre-teens to adults. Where relevant, Jared enjoys addressing parent-child relationships to build protective social support factors that enhance mental resilience and increase the likelihood of recovery for individuals.  

As a Hope-Focused Couple Therapy Supervisor, Jared’s approach to couples therapy is integrative and strategic, incorporating emotion-focused elements to address expectations, communication, conflict resolution, and forgiveness within the marriage, utilising evidence-based interventions to restore relational health. As a psychologist, Jared has experience intervening in marriages with co-morbid attentional/cognitive, mental, physical health concerns, and relational trauma such as infidelity. 

In addition to his clinical work, Jared is passionate about preventive research that enhances the relational health and forgiveness of marriages through autonomous motivation, with the potential to increase marital stability and lower divorce rates. Jared also provides supervision and training to other mental health professionals and M.A. (Counselling) students and offers mental health training and consultation to various organisations. Previously, he worked as an MOE educator, spearheading school-wide efforts to nurture youth leaders holistically through a tiered approach.
