Dr. Jamie Bluemel
Psy.D.
My Approach
From Dr. Bluemel’s clinical perspective and experience, the benefits of engaging in treatment stem from the therapeutic relationship and a direct, but empathetic approach. She believes that the patient is the expert of their own experiences and with the assistance of therapy, particularly a healthy therapeutic alliance, positive change and relief are possible. Developing insights, eliciting solutions, and embracing perspectives can lead to reaching new goals and finding new paths. Whether you are seeking therapy or diagnostic evaluation, you can expect Dr. Bluemel to create a space where you are heard and valued, while seeking to grow toward the healthier, more authentic, and enriched version of you.

About Dr. Jamie Bluemel
My Experience
Dr. Bluemel earned her Psychology Doctorate from the Chicago School of Professional Psychology and attended the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign for her undergraduate studies in Psychology and Communication. She sought to embrace the connections between mental health challenges, trauma, behavioral and learning difficulties, and the criminal justice system through an early career in forensic psychology, completing psychological evaluations with court-involved adolescents. After a few years “in jail,” she shifted gears to supporting our nation’s Veterans with serious mental illness through group therapy with a focus on skills for leading a value-driven life. Dr. Bluemel most recently worked with federal law enforcement agents in the Unites States Air Force, working for the Office of Special Investigations. This eclectic career allows her to bring unique experiences into her testing and therapy relationships, while keeping her on her learning toes! A life-long learner, Dr. Bluemel has sought to walk alongside her patients as she helps them navigate change, self-understanding, and self-love.
