Why did you become a therapist, and what motivates you to continue?

I'm a San Francisco Bay Area based therapist who offers virtual care (telehealth counseling and psychotherapy online) in my back yard and across California. I strive to meet each individual with empathy, humor, and direct communication that addresses the presenting issue head on. Working collaboratively with you I prioritize taking a supportive role while also working towards a clear goal that we develop together.

Hi! My name is Jana! I'm happy you're here and finding the right therapist for you! I will tell you a little about myself, so you can decide if we may be a good fit. If so, let's rock n' roll! I'm a LISW-S and enjoy working with several different kinds of people. My specialties include people with an intellectual disability or related condition, borderline personality disorder, people involved with family court, behavioral issues, narcissism and sociopathy, domestic and psychological violence, and challenging divorces. My therapy style is warm and interactive. I love to get to know the people I'm working with, so I can assist them the best I can. I take pride in my ability to encourage people to be their authentic selves, which often opens up many conversations that need to occur. I'm problem-focused and often take a very behavioral approach; I like to help you break down the issues so we can attempt to get to the bottom of what's actually happening. My therapy sessions are conversation-led, with prompting and questions from me. I like for us to explore all sides of our topic, so I often offer alternative viewpoints, but that's just me wanting to make you think! Jana is currently accepting new child, teen, adult, and EAP clients. Please call or email for scheduling.

Hi there! I'm Jasandra, a licensed professional counselor-supervisor and the owner of Expand Life Counseling in Houston, Texas. I help deep thinkers and feelers live life with more ease and less overwhelm.  

I am a licensed psychologist working with adults and couples. I specialize in relationship issues, women’s issues, anxiety & depression, and life transitions.

From social media to global crises, there are a great deal of forces influencing how we see ourselves. It is normal amidst all of this change to feel anxious, depressed, hopeless, and overwhelmed. Therapy can help these parts of you feel seen and heard free of judgement or shame. Together, I hope to help you foster coping skills, boost self-confidence, set and meet goals, and improve the relationship you have with yourself and others. You are not alone in what you are facing. I will work with you to compassionately tend to the parts of you that feel like they are suffering in order to help you create a path forward.  My passion is helping individuals reconnect to themselves and the world around them. To take care of our minds is to take care of our physical and spiritual health.  I have a special interest in serious illness, life transitions, palliative care, caregivers, women’s health, infertility, grief, and how nature and the outdoors can promote mental well-being. I love hiking, running, kayaking, and being with animals. Attention to the outdoors, physical movement, and the mind-body connection informs my clinical work with clients when appropriate. I graduated from The Silver School of Social Work at New York University as a Zelda Foster Palliative and End of Life Care fellow. I previously worked at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, where I helped patients, caregivers, and healthcare staff navigate the complexities of serious illness and palliative care.

Hello! I can help you with life direction (bring in more joy and meaning), grief and loss, life transitions and women’s counseling for empowerment (create more self-compassion and self-esteem, decrease stress, set boundaries and find your voice). Adults sometimes need another perspective to help them understand and work through life’s challenges. Psychotherapy is all about getting to know yourself better, so that you can make changes that will bring about balance and healing in your life. This is a time for you. I view therapy as a gift that people give to themselves. Even if you do not feel this inside, the statement you make by attending therapy is “I matter”, “I am important” and “I deserve to have and live a life that feels good”. I work with clients to develop a plan to create the life that they desire. Would you like help in finding your life direction, and bring more joy into your life? Do you want to connect back to what makes you feel happy and fulfilled? Have you experienced the death of a loved one or another type of loss? At times you may not know where to turn or what to do to make things better for yourself. If you could use some support, I'd like to help. I guide adults in living happier, healthier, more fulfilled and joyous lives. I earned my Master of Social Work degree from Tulane University in 1988. Prior to that, I received my Bachelor’s degree in Sociology from Pepperdine University in 1986. Before opening my counseling practice, I spent over a decade providing counseling services and groups to adults, teens and children in various social service agencies. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Colorado. I am also a Certified Grief Informed Professional. I believe that we all have the ability to live a fulfilled and balanced life. I help people access their strengths and guide them in making choices to bring about this healing and balance. I have seen such amazing growth and transformation in my clients. It is a privilege to work with them. I am based in Longmont, CO, but through my exclusively online counseling, I am available to see adults throughout Colorado and Florida. Because the therapeutic fit is so important, I offer a free 20-minute video or phone consultation.  I look forward to hearing from you! 

I am Renee. I am a clinician with over 10-years of experience working in the Mental Health field. I am an LISW-S in the State of Ohio. I received my bachelors degree in Social and Behavioral Studies. I am a proud graduate of the first social work school in the United States: Simmons College of Social Work in Boston, Massachusetts. While pursuing my graduate degree at Simmons College, I had an opportunity to learn how to provide a space without judgement, a space where my clients are understood, supported, shown empathy and unconditional positive regard; I would say that is my style of counseling! I have experience working with diverse populations including veterans, adults, children, families, individuals and groups. I utilize treatment modalities such as motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness therapy in the treatment of concerns including addiction, grief, depression, anxiety, personality disorders, adjustment disorders, and life’s stressors. I believe there is support out there, no matter what life throws at us. I also hold a strong belief in the dignity and worth of all people, which translates into a client-centered approach. Values of this approach that I hold include: individuality, privacy, partnership, choice, dignity, respect, rights, equality, independence and diversity. Book a session with me or with any of my amazing colleagues. We look forward to working with you!
