About Janise

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Assoicate under the clinical supervision of Awa Jangha, PhD, LPC-S, ATR-BC. My clinical journey has given me the opportunity to work in a variety of settings including residential treatment, child development centers, psychiatric research, child welfare, PHP, IOP and private practice. I have enjoyed working with children, adolescents, young adults, and adults. I have experience working with clients that present with depression, anxiety, PTSD/C-PTSD, dissociative identity disorder, and complex trauma. I have a holistic approach to therapy. I firmly believe that including the mind, body, and spirit will produce optimal results. I help encourage clients to include the whole body in their healing process. I believe that every client is different, so I pride myself on being an eclectic therapist. There is not a "one size fits all" therapeutic orientation so in our work together, I will work to individualize your experience.

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

I became a therapist when I realized that therapeutic tools and skills actually worked for me and my recovery. I didn't want to be selfish with the knowledge I gained on my own healing journey. What motivates me to continue is the fact that there are so many people out there that can really benefit from a non-judgmental, empathetic, and compassionate ear. As a therapist, I don't claim to have all the answers but I will do my best to help my clients gain the confidence to tackle whatever may come their way.

For people that are hesitant to try therapy, what do you wish you could tell them?

Being vulnerable and open with a stranger can be extremely intimidating. Let's start by normalizing that fact. Now, understanding that therapists are trained professionals, who are ready to meet you where you are, hopefully can bring you some relief. Breathe in, breathe out, now take that chance! Asking for help isn't a sign of weakness. I will help you realize that you are truly a powerful being and are more than capable of re-gaining control of your life.

What does a typical session with you tend to look like?

Our sessions will be completely laid back. You will laugh, cry, yell, curse and I will be right there to accept it all. I find humor therapeutic so don't be surprised if I break a tense moment with a smile. I want my clients to feel safe to just simply be. I believe in structured sessions, but I also believe in attuning to you in the moment. My goal is for you to leave my sessions feeling prepared to conquer the world.
