My name is Juanita Fontenot, and I believe in a person-centered approach to everything, as we are humans first. I also think the resiliency of the human spirit is often unnoticed but should be celebrated. We all have value, and once you believe this, the impact is life-changing. I want to work with you! You who have doubted your value because of what others have said, you who want to make a change, but feel stuck because it's just too much, you who are willing to do the work to make the change you wish to see. And you, you who need someone in your corner.
Our first session is an introduction to each other. We complete assessments together, and I gather background information. We discuss your goals, and I affirm your choice to decide whether or not you want to continue working with me.
I don't think I work magic, but I listen. I have found that really listening with empathy is the best foundation to build a strong therapeutic alliance. I am a stranger asking deeply private things. I respect your reluctance, and that empathy is usually enough to start with.
I use a trauma-informed lens in therapy, and I believe therapy is most effective when the client actively participates in finding the solution that works for them. We partner together to reach your highest potential. I am passionate about helping teenagers and young adults gain the skills they need to succeed in life. I have experience working with youth and adults experiencing ADHD, autism, anxiety, mood disorders, trauma survivors, and improving communication skills and personal life skills.

The unconscious mind is very powerful and often hides connections from our past that influence our present and future. Understanding the root of things often gives us a place to begin the work and healing.
We often face multiple challenges, so I use an integrative approach tailored to where you are and what is needed in that session.
No man is an island. Our thoughts influence our feelings, which can, in turn, influence our actions. Understanding that connection often empowers clients, allows them to take control, and make the change they want to see.
Our faith system is a foundational tenet of who we are. I have found that incorporating a client's faith often improves their outcomes.
Not everyone needs months and years of therapy. Some may just be stuck and need a jump-start on figuring out where to start addressing a problem.

Juanita Fontenot has been amazing. She is direct, honest, and gets straight to the point while remaining compassionate and understanding. She quickly identified my needs, helped me set realistic goals, and provided practical coping skills. She knows when to challenge me and when I need more time to process. Her relatable approach makes me feel seen and heard. The best way I can describe her is that she is my journal in human form. I highly recommend her.
