I am sure you have heard lately how much our daily life have changed and how stressful it has become. What we knew life to be today was not what it was a couple of years ago. Feeling anxious or sad from time to time is not unusual these days. The signs and symptoms may vary from one person to another and it may also present itself differently at work or at home. My name is Janina Branch and I am a License Mental Health Therapist, certified in trauma work, addiction issues, relationships challenges, and very knowledgeable of evidence base practices. I work with people who are seeking help, who want to make life changes, resolve issues, improve their relationships, and make significant growth while living day by day. My passion is to help people move forward from where they are to where they want to be. My work is characterized by knowledge, intuition, compassion, empathy, optimism and collaboration. My approach is proactive and solution focused. This means, I am particularly motivated to help you achieve your goal as quickly as possible. I feel that while on the journey of discovering and exploring together the issues that are pressing and influencing your day to day living, we will work to implement a plan that will lead you to achieving your goals and a more fulfilling life. Lets work together on replacing your struggles, uncertainty, hurt, pain, relationship challenges for a holistic Life Style that is based on Self Awareness, Strength, Empowerment.
In your first counseling session, you’ll be greeted warmly and introduced to how the process works. I will explain confidentiality to ensure you feel safe. You’ll talk about what brought you to therapy, your goals, and what you hope to achieve. I will outline my approach and cover practical details like scheduling. Finally, you’ll have a chance to ask questions and share any concerns. The session is about starting to build trust and setting a foundation for our work together
-One of the my greatest strengths in my ability to create a trusting and empathetic therapeutic relationship. This means genuinely understanding and validating your experiences, providing a safe space for you to explore your thoughts and feelings, and fostering a collaborative approach to healing and growth. This empathetic connection will help you feel valued and understood, which is crucial for effective therapy, positive outcomes, growth and healing.
I am open most populations if the issues is within my scope.

I’m so grateful to have met Ms Janina. She’s the one who’s going to help me to get my self steam back. I’m confidente. She’s the best.

Love Janina's initial approach even as a intro session. Right away offering critical thinking activities for my partner and I to dwell on.
