Jeanetta Thomas
If your goal is to overcome the negative effects of trauma on your life and relationships, I may be the therapist for you. One of my greatest joys as a therapist is working with members of diverse communities to be the best version of themselves.
I believe that we can best heal and grow through emotional intelligence, self-mastery, and understanding of how our cultural background and life circumstances have impacted our life outlook.
I believe that we can best heal and grow through emotional intelligence, self-mastery, and understanding of how our cultural background and life circumstances have impacted our life outlook. My counseling approach is strengths-based and person-centered. I believe in treating everyone with unconditional positive regard and I strongly oppose stigmatizing labels. I employ the use of practical problem-solving modalities, and will tailor our sessions and treatment plan to meet your personalized needs.
First session
Our first session will involve an assessment, as well as an opportunity for you to ask any questions you have about therapy in general or about my therapeutic approach.

Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use CBT to assist the individuals with whom I work in understanding the cycle of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
I use DBT to assist individuals with whom I work in effectively managing overwhelming feelings through simplistic approaches.
Trauma-Informed Care
I use a trauma-informed approach to care to assist individuals in understanding how past experiences of trauma impact current life circumstances.
Culturally Sensitive Therapy
I use a culturally sensitive approach to assist individuals in understanding the way that culture impacts worldview and how we respond to our environment.
