About Jay

Jay Darien

Marriage & Family Therapist, MA, LMFT, EMDR

Jay Darien is a devoted father of five with a natural ability to connect with people on a profound level. His journey into therapy was shaped by his years of playing, coaching, and mentoring college basketball, as well as a lifelong commitment to being open, honest, and deeply empathetic in everything he does. These qualities have made him a healer, dedicated to helping individuals and families navigate life’s challenges with compassion and understanding. Jay’s deep Christian faith further enriches his approach, guiding him to support others with integrity and care.

Jay understands that the hardest part of therapy is often the first step—the moment you reach out for help. He frames his practice around meeting clients in the spaces where they feel most alone, where they believe no one would understand what they’re going through, and where they feel they can’t tell anybody. That’s precisely where he meets them, offering empathy, deep understanding, and connection as the foundation for true healing.

Specializing in helping individuals manage symptoms of anxiety, depression, and high levels of stress, Jay addresses issues that can deeply affect relationships with spouses, children, friends, and even one’s professional life. With expertise in trauma therapy using EMDR, as well as experience in dealing with divorce, infidelity, shame, self-esteem, and relationship challenges, Jay is well-equipped to guide his clients through their most difficult times.

As a licensed Marriage & Family Therapist (MA, LMFT) with specialized training in EMDR, Jay offers both in-office and online sessions, ensuring that his services are accessible to all who need them.

Jay is committed to accessibility and convenience, returning all phone calls within 24 hours and offering online scheduling and intake forms.
