Hello and thank you for visiting my site. My name is Jataya and I am the founder of Regaining Life Counseling. 

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in New York.  I am an alumna of Stony Brook University School of Social Welfare where I received both my Bachelors of Science with a concentration in Social Work and a Masters of Social Work with a specialization in Healthcare. 

Following graduation I immediately began work  in the field of Mental Health in settings such as hospitals, outpatient clinics and private practice. During my time in these settings I have worked with individuals, families, children and geriatric clients. All of these opportunities have cultivated my skills throughout the years and have now led me to start my own private practice, where I now wish to help you.

I have a passion for the field of Psychiatry and wish to work with you to take away the stigma that is often associated with mental health and show you it is as easy as just having a conversation about changes you wish to see. Mental Health is just that, taking care of the “mental” part of your overall Health. I work from a strengths based perspective  while utilizing my cultural competence and taking on a holistic approach to assist you in finding the answers to making you as a whole, empowered with the answers to finding your inner peace.
