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!
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.
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.
I was trained from a behavioral perspective, so I like to get to the root of the issue by asking lots of questions to develop a clear understanding.
