About me

I am passionate about humans! This includes ALL folx, adults, children, couples, and families. I am dedicated to advocating for mental health and wellness for individuals of all backgrounds, focusing on women’s health through all the stages of life, people of color, and LGBTQ+ communities. As a therapist, I offer specialized support that empowers clients with the thinking patterns, mindsets, and the skills they need to succeed in a safe, non-judgmental space to explore and process life’s challenges. My clients describe me as warm, friendly, knowledgeable, and engaging.

Get to know me

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

Whether you’re experiencing mood swings, anxiety, an inability to sleep, the complexities of menopause, changes in identity, academic struggles, low self-esteem, or ADHD, I can help you manage these transitions with coping strategies to empower you to become the best versions of yourself by embracing this stage of life with confidence and resilience!

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

Some of my specialties include self-esteem, anxiety, depression, grief, menopause, relational conflict, communication struggles, and ADHD. My clients are struggling with life’s transitions. They may have relationship struggles like dating, mastering interpersonal skills, hormonal shifts, moments of sadness, marital concerns, parenting, menopause, career goals, communication, decision-making skills, grief/loss, academic interventions, and/or finances. Dr. Juanessa Booker has a decade of experience treating adults, children, couples, and families. She believes that therapy is for everyone, not just a privileged few. She brings a lifetime of experience working with all folx, including African Americans, people of color, and the LGBTQ+ community. Juanessa also works as an adjunct professor in the education department of a large online university.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

My work with clients focuses on navigating life’s transitions that can bring about physical, emotional, and psychological changes. My approach is rooted in mindfulness, emotional regulation, and coping strategies to equip you to become the best version of yourself. This includes the ability to tell your own story and embrace your distinct identity. Our journey typically takes 6 to 8 sessions of a combination of evidence-based therapies, like Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). Most clients see decreased symptoms within a month and consistent improvement after that.

I appreciate how Juanessa truly listens and allows me to process my thoughts. I would say the biggest attraction I have for our sessions is her ability to challenge me and connection spiritually.
