Jasmine Gates, LCSW, LISW-CP

Jasmine Gates is a clinician who focuses on supporting people through life transitions and the unique challenges faced by LGBTQ+ individuals. She works closely with couples of diverse backgrounds, including polyamorous partners, helping them find connection and calm, and provides ongoing support to women both in and out of relationships. Jasmine creates a space where clients can express themselves, process difficult feelings, and explore personal stories that may fall outside conventional expectations.

Her approach centers on empowering each person to be recognized as the expert on their own life while offering accountability and practical support for goals. Using strength-based and person-centered methods with psychodynamic insight and an approachable sense of humor, she aims to help clients align their daily lives with their values and identities. Jasmine partners with people to clarify boundaries, improve communication, and build the confidence to advocate for what they want in relationships, work, and personal life.

Jasmine brings additional perspective from growing up in a military family that moved across the United States, an experience that informed her cultural awareness when working with clients from varied backgrounds. She holds clinical social work licenses - LCSW and LISW-CP - credentials that qualify her to practice clinical social work and to provide independent clinical services. She earned a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Eastern Michigan University in 2010 and completed a Master of Social Work at Johnson C. Smith University in 2017.

Outside of her professional role, Jasmine enjoys attending open mics, brunches, and concerts, and she relaxes at home watching the Food Network as well as cartoons, dramas, and comedies. Those interests help her bring warmth and relatability into therapeutic work for clients seeking a grounded, affirming guide on their path forward.
