Jana Dobesova
Welcome. I am glad you are here. I know life can be overwhelming at times. I believe that together we can start an exciting journey of tapping into the many strengths that will help you become the person you want to be. That means that perhaps you want to be happier, more confident, more at peace with your past, and an overcomer.
It is okay to be brave and scared at the same time.
It is okay to be brave and scared at the same time. It takes courage to take the first steps toward a change and a more fulfilling life. I am here to support you on your journey.
First session
The first session can be intimidating as you are meeting a stranger - a therapist - with whom you expect to talk about vulnerable things in your life. That can be understandably hard. I strive to help you be comfortable by caring, warm and open approach from the very beginning.
Strengths
As a therapist I thrive to be an excellent listener and focus on your goals and your values. I am warm and compassionate and direct when needed.
Ideal clients
I specialize in anxiety, grief, pet loss, life transitions, vocational stress, depression, trauma and parenting among other topics. I enjoy being creative and to the point in my sessions. I explore your strengths and collaboratively work on building new skills.
Treatment methods
Motivational Interviewing
I work collaboratively with you to ensure we are working on what is most important you. I meet you where you are at even if you do not have it all figured out. Together we explore your values and areas where you might feel "stuck" so you can move forward toward your goals. My approach is warm and caring.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Together we explore the connection between thoughts, feelings and actions to ensure the outcomes you want for your life. We also focus on the areas in which you might feel "stuck" and wish to move forward. We examine what is keeping you "stuck" and explore healthier thinking patterns that serve you well and empower you.
