Hello, and thank you for visiting our 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's School of Social Welfare, where I received both my Bachelor of Science with a concentration in Social Work and a Master of Social Work with a specialization in Health Care. 

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 over the years and have now led me to start my own private practice, where I aim 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. At Regaining Life Counseling, we work from a strengths-based perspective, utilizing cultural competence and taking a holistic approach to assist you in finding answers that empower you to become a whole person, with inner peace.
