My sessions have been excellent. She allows me space to speak about topics i think are important. She also listens well and gives constructive feedback along with coping techniques to help me.

I’m very much new to therapy and I had some major reservations. Janea is amazing, the sessions feel like I’m chatting with my favorite cousin who came into town to visit. She listens to everything I say and acknowledges the things that I don’t really say. I admire how direct she is. Doesn’t leave much room for me to manipulate the conversations.
