Meet Dr. Jamillah

As the Founder and Executive Producer of the Carefully Speaking Podcast, I create content and share insights from my practice as a behavioral health clinician and administrator in the metropolitan Washington, D.C., area. As a proud mother of two, I combine my professional expertise and lived experience with a deep commitment to individual, family, and collective growth.

With a Master's (MSW) and Doctorate (DSW) in Social Work, I am licensed to practice clinical social work in the District of Columbia and Maryland. Over the past two decades, my work in behavioral health has been dedicated to empowering individuals, families, and communities—particularly those in underserved areas. I am also an invited speaker, educator, and mentor—guiding aspiring social workers toward impactful careers that are grounded in compassion and service.

Through my podcast and public speaking, I aim to pass on insights and support those navigating the challenges and wins of parenting and personal growth. My hope is that my knowledge and experience can inspire others to embrace their parenting and professional journey with confidence and purpose.
