About Jayme Branagh
Jayme Branagh, EdD, NBCT, LMHC
For over 20 years, Jayme has dedicated her life to building relationships with children and learning better ways to serve their needs. Children with anxiety, trauma, ASD, ADHD, and social skill deficits are often categorized or mislabeled. As an elementary school counselor, building trust and understanding has been the foundation of her philosophy for facilitating the growth and evolution of children into healthy adults.
In addition to school counseling, Jayme was director of an extended school year program for a satellite campus of Seattle Children’s Hospital. This program served students with Autism and ASD. She also worked with individual children on at-home programs with the goal of increasing social and life skill behaviors. Jayme maintains a passion for ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder) children and parents of ASD children.
Jayme has an incredible thirst for improving her professional learning and enhancing her practice. Finding and creating new ways to model useful and creative strategies to support children is her inspiration. She graduated from Seattle University with her master’s degree in school counseling. She continued her pursuit of professional learning by earning her national board credentials in school counseling. She currently holds her Mental Health License (LMHC) and runs a private practice. In 2021 she earned her doctorate in community care and counseling.
Using experiences and expertise supporting numerous children and families, Jayme recently began her journey as a children’s book author. Jayme’s books are based on effective educational and therapeutic approaches to address a child’s social and emotional needs.
Through her books, Jayme hopes to empower children to overcome obstacles and flourish while feeling positive and powerful.
