About me

Hi! My name is Jana! Thank you for reading my profile :) I want you to know a little about me so you can decide if you'd like to schedule with me. I am licensed in Ohio and I have been a Therapist for over 10 years. I have been doing teletherapy for quite awhile now and I much prefer it to in-office settings. I am a mother to 3 wild kiddos, I live in the country and I [try to] make friends with feral cats. I am very chatty, I enjoy getting to know the people that I am working with. I have a lot of experience in several areas: domestic violence, narcissism, autism, intellectual disabilities, adhd, depression, pregnancy loss, anxiety, parenting issues, life changes, bullying, etc. I like a natural conversation style in sessions so it is as comfortable as possible! FYI: I'm not currently accepting couples and I don't write recommendation letters for ESA/service animals due to the potential liability.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

I am very low key and informal. You should be comfortable. I do my sessions as if we are in a giant conversation. We first discuss what brought you into therapy, what you want to work on and then we start developing a game plan.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I am very informal and my goal is to make it as comfortable as possible. I am very chatty, do not feel like you have to do all the talking. I am also very humorous, I really enjoy bringing humor into session when appropriate.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I love working with people in general, so there really isn't one type of person that I am inclined to work with over another. I am very behaviorally-oriented and solution focused, so I will ask a lot of questions to help us come to some sort of resolution for you. If I had to choose the people that I have worked the best with - I really enjoy people who have personality disorders, people who are experiencing domestic violence, narcissistic/sociopath abuse, those who have an intellectual disability and people who have depression/ADHD. I also think I am good at making sessions pretty fun and light-hearted.

This was my initial visit with her. Jana was very understanding and is solution based which is something I desperately need. She listened and is developing a plan to actually help me versus previous therapists that talk at me. Looking forward to working with her.

Very understanding and empathetic to what I am experiencing. Nonjudgmental and very open to hearing me as a person.
