Jay Key is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor with 9 years of experience in settings including offices, homes, and schools helping individuals ages 4-65. He specializes in depression and oppositional defiant disorder and is also experienced in treating anxiety, ADHD, grief and loss, trauma, suicidal ideation, self-harm, and more. Jay is LGBTQ+ affirming and has extensive experience working with the Black and Hispanic communities of the Triangle (aunque no hablo español, lo siento). He is dedicated to building a strong, positive rapport, ensuring clients feel comfortable and sufficiently challenged.


Jay graduated from Wake Forest University with a Master’s in Mental Health Counseling. He utilizes approaches such as emotionally focused therapy, humanistic therapy, culturally sensitive therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and cognitive reprocessing.


Jay knows people can be hesitant to reach out to a new therapist because of the intense emotional commitment it takes, or because they feel isolated and alone. He promises to provide unconditional positive regard and support you without judgment. You are the expert on yourself, and he will always work to build you up.
