Meet Jamie
Jamelle (Jamie) Greene, Ph.D.
Licensed Psychologist
I'm a clinical psychologist with close to 20 years of experience helping people understand themselves more deeply and make meaningful changes in their lives. DBT has been the foundation of my work for more than a decade, particularly its emphasis on mindfulness, radical acceptance, and balancing acceptance with change.
I especially enjoy working with people who experience emotions deeply, whether that shows up as anxiety, perfectionism, and self-criticism or as anger, irritability, and a tougher exterior. I also love helping parents manage their own emotional reactions so they can be more present with their children, as well as working with adolescents, young adults, and families navigating high-achieving educational environments.
As a Black woman who grew up on St. Croix, I bring a lived understanding of identity, difference, and power to my work. My style is warm, curious, and gently challenging. I laugh easily, and I can get pretty animated when something suddenly clicks. I believe therapy should honor who you are while helping you live with greater freedom and make room for more joy.
Alongside psychotherapy, I provide psychological assessment for complex diagnostic questions and second opinions, as well as consultation and navigation when decisions about mental health care are difficult to sort through.

How I can help
The emotions you feel and what other people see are not always the same thing. Distress can show up as worry, perfectionism, or self-criticism. It can also look like anger, withdrawal, or toughness. We can work together to understand what is happening underneath and create more room for you to choose how you respond.
Understanding that leads you somewhere
Insight with purpose. Practical change.
Thoughtful psychological care does more than name a problem. It helps you make sense of what is happening, understand what has shaped it, and identify what can change. The goal is not to reduce you to a diagnosis or a trait. It is to give you greater clarity and more choice in how you move forward.
An integrative approach
DBT as a Foundation
DBT has shaped my clinical thinking for more than a decade. Its emphasis on mindfulness, acceptance, dialectical thinking, and meaningful change continues to inform the way I work. I use its principles and skills flexibly in individual psychotherapy. If, in your past, DBT has not felt helpful, or has even felt invalidating, I want to know about that so we can figure out together what you need.
Insight and Action using Evidence-based Tools
Understanding why a pattern developed matters, but understanding alone is not always enough. Therapy should also help you experiment with new ways of responding and determine what actually makes a difference. I draw from evidence-based therapies and insight-oriented approaches according to the person and the problem. I do not expect one therapy model to explain an entire human being.
Understanding the Whole Person
Your history and context matter. Therapy should make room for complexity while still helping you move forward. I want you to feel that you can bring all of who you are into our work together.
