Get to know me

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

The goal is to explore the client's mental health issues, including any physical etiologies contributing to the mental health issues for a fully customized holistic treatment plan

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

It is my greatest joy to serve my clients as healer of bodies, minds, and souls that I strongly feel is my vocation in life. My strength are my natural intuition and empathy towards people with mental health issues. This intuition was borne from personal experiences. I derive utmost joy from helping people navigate their way through their mental health issues and see them overcome and thrive. I also continuously research and stay updated about the most recent evidence-based modalities in mental health to provide the best possible care for my clients.

I am having an excellent experience. She is thorough, attentive, and genuinely committed to patient care. I never feel rushed, and Jaana takes the time to explain everything clearly. Her professionalism and compassion make every visit reassuring. I’m grateful to have someone I can trust.

Janna is more than humorous and authentic. She is intelligent, kind and very warm. I think she's very good at deciphering my needs and helping me figure out the best plan for the best outcome.
