Discover your strength
Much of psychotherapy focuses on clients’ problems, but it’s my belief that equal or more time should be spent on helping clients uncover strengths and skills that have been overshadowed by the problems.
My work is strength-based and trauma informed focusing on the unique experience and skills people already have available to them to overcome their problems. This can include family history, beliefs, ideas, values, culture and ethnicity.
Psychotherapy is a collaborative process where trust is built. People can heal, explore feelings, different ideas and perspectives, skill build and discover or rediscover themselves. Through psychotherapy and skill building, people can change, grow and live healthy, complex lives.
“I had very little experience with counseling when I started working with Janeen. It was a very turbulent time in my life, when everything familiar to me seemed to be slipping away. Janeen had the ability to respond to my anxiety and cautiousness with compassion and sincerity. She provided counsel, comfort, and challenges to me, which was an experience that I was truly grateful for. What I remember most were really the moments that we were able to share joy through the progress I’d made and milestones she had help me achieve.”
