About Jelilat
Philosophy of Treatment
Jelilat’s philosophy of treatment pulls a lot from narrative therapy because she is a firm believer in the power of storytelling as a mode of healing and teaching one to find their voice and own their story. The goal is to help you to rewrite unhealthy internalized messages so that you can make room for self-love, empowerment, confidence, healing, community, authenticity, and wholeness. She believes that therapy should bolster self-awareness and one's insight into oneself. Creating a path for you to heal is essential, but equipping you with the ability to understand yourself better is equally as significant. She also holds the belief that growth is a communal activity, which is why systems theory is also integral to her treatment philosophy. Healing is not done alone. The impact and understanding of your systems, whether it be families, communities, or institutions, is necessary for sustained growth. She believes in order to create safe spaces one has to feel empowered to be able to create safety within themselves.
