Janelle Roache
I take a holistic approach, to help individuals navigate their mental health challenges with evidence-based interventions. I support individuals in managing distressing thoughts, improving emotional regulation, fostering resilience and regaining confidence, because I understand the profound impact mental health conditions can have on daily life.

My approach is patient-centered, ensuring that each individual receives personalized care tailored to their unique needs.
First session
During the intake appointment, individuals can expect to discuss what brought them to therapy and what they hope to gain from treatment. To better understand each person and their unique experiences, I will gather background information related to mental health, substance misuse, legal history, trauma, medical history, current medications, family relationships, friendships, romantic relationships, education, occupation, spirituality, and hobbies or interests. This information helps provide a comprehensive understanding of each individual and serves as the foundation for building a supportive, collaborative therapeutic relationship.
Strengths
My greatest strengths are building rapport, identifying strengths, motivating individuals, being empathetic and teaching skills.
Ideal clients
I work best with teenagers and adults who are motivated to pursue meaningful change and actively engage in the therapeutic process. Therapy tends to be most effective when individuals are ready, willing, and able to participate fully in working toward their treatment goals. Those who approach therapy with curiosity and openness to learning new perspectives and skills, related to the concerns that brought them to treatment, are often better equipped to sustain the progress they make over time.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
CBT helps individuals understand how their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors influence one another. It teaches practical skills to identify unhelpful thinking patterns, develop healthier ways of responding to challenges, and make behavioral changes that improve emotional well-being.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
DBT helps individuals who struggle with managing their strong emotions. It teaches practical skills for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and responding to stress in healthier ways.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
Mindfulness helps individuals stay present in the moment, observe their thoughts and emotions without judgment, increase self-compassion, manage stress and anxiety. It also helps individuals improve focus and emotional regulation.
Solution-Focused Brief Treatment
SFBT helps individuals focus on the present and future to reach their goals, instead of dwelling on their problems. SFBT emphasizes a person's existing strengths, resources, and past successes to create meaningful change.
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
ACT helps individuals develop greater psychological flexibility- the ability to respond to difficult thoughts and emotions in ways that support the life they want to live, rather than being controlled by those experiences.
