She has a very open ended style and she’s very smart about making you think of the answers you need as opposed to telling you what to do. It’s very nice and feels rewarding. She also isn’t very preachy or snoopy into your past, if you’re worried about that.

Janie is down to earth and practical. On day 1 she provided resources for me (book). She listens and she points out inconsistencies in my beliefs and actions. I love her approach so far and I’m excited to see how much she helps me with anxiety.
