JAMIE MCNAMARA
MASTER'S LEVEL CLINICIAN

Jamie received her master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health
Counseling and School Adjustment Counseling from Lesley University.
She is currently in the process of becoming a Licensed Mental Health
Counselor and has experience working in a variety of settings
including a therapeutic day school, hospital and the public education
system.

Jamie's primary therapeutic approach is relational and client-center
therapy, but believes that it is best to integrate a variety of
philosophies as therapy is not one-size-fits-all. She will often
tailor a myriad of approaches in conjunction with each other, based on
the client's needs. While working with children, Jamie emphasizes the
use of play as a way for the child to express themselves, their
emotions and understand their environment in a process that is
comfortable to them. She feels the best progress happens in a
welcoming and judgment-free environment.


Jamie was born and raised on the South Shore and loves living in a
place with four seasons, the ocean and autumn leaves. She is a lover
of reading, baking and boating.

giant leaps, that bring about the most lasting change" - Queen
