Hi, I’m Nyjah Maat, the eldest of three boys and a proud Jacksonville, Florida native. My journey toward helping others began early, shaped by my role as the oldest sibling and the challenges my family faced. These experiences ignited my passion for supporting others, both personally and professionally.
With a background as a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) and experience working at a youth community engagement organization, I’ve developed a strong commitment to empowering children and families. Through a compassionate, person-centered approach, I’m dedicated to helping others overcome obstacles and build healthier, more resilient relationships. I am truly honored to play a role in helping others navigate life’s challenges with empathy and care.

Biography
I earned an Associate’s degree in Ministerial Leadership and a Bachelor of Science in Digital Media and Design from Southeastern University. I am currently pursuing a Master’s degree in Professional Counseling.
In my recent role as a Clinical Weekend Care Coordinator and Group Counselor, I’ve had the privilege of supporting various departments, from clinical services to direct patient care, enriching my ability to offer well-rounded support to those in need.
Outside of work, I love painting, working out, reading, and spending time outdoors. My wife and I have been happily married for five years, and we share our home with our two dogs, Oscar and Sadii.
