Jason is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Washington state since 2005 (LH 00011166).

He is a specialist in data-driven, evidence-based programs, and has served as a family therapist and clinical supervisor for Functional Family Therapy (FFT) and other family service programs for high-risk clients. Jason has extensive training in cognitive behavioral therapeutic interventions, couples counseling, and community supervision protocols for child welfare/juvenile justice. He specializes in cultural competency and inclusion programs that address issues of diversity and difference in the workplace.
