Associate Professional Clinical Counselor

Jasmin Gill

Associate Professional Clinical Counselor

I graduated from California State University with a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology and a Master’s Degree in Counselor Education program with an emphasis in Professional Clinical Counseling. I am currently a registered Associate Professional Clinical Counselor with the Board of Behavioral Sciences. I have worked with children and families and have provided mental health services for more severe mental health issues. Through these experiences, I was able to serve a diverse group of clients and enhance my skills in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy. In addition to my clinical background, I also have experience in teaching Psychology courses at Merced College and have been working as a Counseling Faculty member for the last three years. I look forward to working with you to provide support, and create new coping skills to enhance your life. License #7056 NPI: 1942847215
