Many people turn to psychotherapy or counseling for help with anxiety, depression, trauma, painful relationship patterns, feeling stuck, or sometimes just the feeling that something is missing from life. Sometimes we may not have the words to describe our feelings, struggles or suffering. However, with insight into past relationships and experiences, many people can make progress immediately towards overcoming these difficulties and becoming more effective in their work and relationships. I am a licensed clinician with more than 18 years of experience in helping individuals achieve a more fulfilling life.

Welcome to the House of Transformation Therapy Services LLC!
You may ask why House of Transformation? After years of working in the IT world I transitioned into the addictions and mental health field following a calling from my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ in my middle age. My acceptance of Jesus Christ, began my internal transformation and continuation of being transformed day by day leading to receiving a calling and a purpose to help heal those suffering. This transformation began my personal journey of healing from domestic violence; different types of abuse, drug abuse and much more. I learned in this journey that the Lord uses our suffering for eternal gain.
You may find yourself at a similar crossroad suffering with a chemical addiction; domestic violence or abuse; various types of trauma/PTSD; or somewhere on the anxiety, depressive, obsessive compulsive, ADHD, or personality disorder spectrum; interpersonal relationship issues; or challenges with transitioning into adulthood from 18-21’ish ranging from financial, job/career, relationships, moving out to your own place, or learning more of who you are. Maybe you’re a parent struggling with how to raise a child, unsure if parenting skills or other areas are effective or experiencing a child with behavioral/emotional problems. You’ve come to the right place!
It all starts within us, the desire to be transformed within… to be happier, more whole, more fulfilled so you experience less suffering and thrive more instead of just surviving day by day. The key to healing is change within and I will be with you to guide, help, encourage and support you on this journey at your personal pace using over 13 years of clinical experience. Together, we set goals in our conversations and use these to develop an action plan to aid in healing, growing and thriving.

Are you so busy being a superhero caring for everyone else that you're not even a priority on your to do list? Are you tired of pretending everything is going great; when in reality, you're struggling to manage the daily stressors of life, are overwhelmed, down on yourself, unmotivated, and unappreciated?
If this describes you, and you're in need of a safe space to relax your cape and unveil your truth, I am available to listen. "Not everything faced can be changed. But nothing can be changed until it is faced." If you're ready to face it, let's talk about it.

Are you struggling with maintaining your sanity as a wife, mother and caretaker? Or are you just someone who needs clarity on what your needs really are? While sometimes it is difficult to understand your own needs, therapy is a way to maintain your self care, learn how to gain better understanding and communicate your needs and feelings, to help you address barriers to healthy relationships and accomplishing personal goals. As a therapist I have 14 years of experience in helping adults and adolescents identify their own needs and collaborate to help them recognize how to improve upon those barriers. My primary interest is in helping individuals gain insight into their self worth in order to better manage life and mental health barriers. In therapy with me clients learn how to adjust negative thinking, improve self care, adjust self esteem and adjust your ability to believe in yourself. Sure therapy can be scary and even stigmatized but with the right collaboration it can be a godsend. Let me help you on your journey, let me help you adjust your crown.

I offer clients that I consult with over 40 years of experience in the problem-solving efforts of multiple types of mental health, behavioral, interpersonal and emotional distress. During my career I have engaged clients in a variety of settings including group managed care practices, in-patient hospitals, outpatient community mental health and forensic. Along the way, my treatment approaches have evolved. My initial approaches to treatment included the use of Transactional Analysis and Gestalt therapies. These interests led to my pursuit of my Master of Art (MA) studies in Expressive Arts Therapies. In my post-master externship in Family Systems therapies, I applied these skills as a therapist with county community mental health in Virginia. My doctoral program integrated my interest in Systems and Existential forms of treatment. My work with managed care outpatient settings allowed me to broaden my treatment approaches to include Solution-Focused, Narrative Therapies and Motivational Interviewing. During the recent 23 years, I had been employed with several Corrections facilities including the Franklin Medical Center. While a Corrections Psychologist I familiarized myself with research inquiries asking, "What works in therapy?" As a result, I now frequently use in-session outcome measures aimed at assessing the effectiveness of my treatment approach and providing opportunities to consult with clients about any requested or needed adjustments to the approach. In the past 6 years, I have immersed myself in the study and application of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) as my preferred treatment orientation within an otherwise integrative approach to care.

Are you living an authentic life?
This very moment is rich with the capacity for change. The most miraculous opportunities for creativity, authenticity and connection are present in this moment. Trauma, Depression and Anxiety can block us from experiencing the life we are meant to live. Moments of transition and change can leave us feeling disconnected and imbalanced. If this resonates with you, I may be able to help.
I specialize in Motivational Interviewing and Mindful Self-Compassion, and have formal training in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and the Neurosequential Model of Therapeutics. During our sessions, I will offer an individualized set of techniques to help you live your life to its fullest potential.

The most courageous thing we can do is embrace our own stories. It is in the choice to embrace that we discover our strengths, weaknesses, and quirks that allow us to live our most authentic lives. We must be aware that the journey is not always pleasing. Some twists and turns will be scary, but even in those moments, there is discovery. My oh my, what an amazing and freeing experience that discovery can be.

I believe that mental health is just as important as physical health. In order to make changes in your life, you have to be willing to put in the effort. It is my goal to make my clients feel comfortable and safe because this is where you are going to get the most change and progress. Coming to counseling is a very personal step. One that you should feel hopeful about. Many clients say they are nervous about their first session. To combat those feelings, I assure you that I will listen, provide a space for you to process your feelings, explore your thoughts and behaviors and provide strategies and techniques to help reach your goals. With no judgement.
I seek to provide culturally competent counseling to all individuals. I will be walking with you as you process life situations and how they have affected you. I have experience working with individuals, children, families, couples, and groups in a number of settings.
I look forward to working with and meeting you!

Hey there, I'm Janell
Do you feel pulled and you feel like you just need someone to talk to, someone, that will listen? Are you having difficulty identifying the root of the problem and feeling alone in the process?
Helping others is what I do and together, we can identify problem areas and bounce back to the beautiful creature you were born to be. Sometimes, it takes a little processing to get down to the nitty gritty and some basic honesty from ourselves and others. People often tell me, I have a kind smile and a big heart. That's what you'll get from me. We'll use a person-centered approach to address your needs and learn new skills to help build resiliency, to better manage the stressors of life and/or get through depression, anxiety and, grief issues.
Let's face it, life can be difficult and I'm here to help. Shoot, we all need some help at some point and time in our lives. Getting help can sometimes cause us to feel uncertain, however, you know when something is good for you. And good counsel is good! Having a safe place to heal and grow is healthy. When we meet, my goal is to extend acceptance, and compassion to you by utilizing evidence-based treatment that will help cultivate change in your life. Let's get started.

Hi there! I feel providing therapy has been number 1 on my gratitude list. Oh, maybe waking up this morning too. I enjoy building relationships with others. Following your lead is what I prefer. What are you looking to change in your life? Whether calming anxiety, decreasing depression or managing a behavior. For instance, angry outbursts or over reacting to a change and wishing later how you would love a second try? Perhaps it's nothing like these examples that brings you here. We can certainly come together and write a treatment plan that encompasses your needs.
