Welcome. I'm glad you are here. I know it's not easy reaching out for support. My name is Janna and I'm a licensed marriage and family therapist. I'm a graduate of John F. Kennedy University. If you're struggling and unhappy with your life and relationships... there is hope. Sometimes we just need someone to talk to and listen without judgement. Sometimes we just need to be accepted for who we are. Sometimes we just need support from a caring, professional to help us figure out what is getting in the way so we can heal from past hurts, heartbreak, trauma, and disappointments. I've worked with individuals, couples, and families in a variety of mental health settings including, schools, non-profits, outpatient, and inpatient facilities. It is possible to create the life, career, and relationships you want. I'm here to help you be the best person you can be and feel the best you can feel. Here is one of my favorite quotes... "People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." ~ Maya Angelou Together, lets get you feeling better.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session, I will get to know you. I'll ask questions and listen compassionately to understand what you're going through. We will discuss what you'd like to improve in your life, what you've been struggling with, what has worked, and hasn't worked in your life. We will identify your goals for therapy, discuss the frequency of appointments, and I will answer any questions you may have.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
Clients have told me I'm compassionate, caring, and nonjudgemental. I use the strengths of clients to empower them to see different perspectives and possibilities they may have not previously considered that may be holding them back from the life and relationships they really want. I tend to work myself out of a job and enjoy seeing client's feel better as quickly as possible!
