About me

Hello! My name is Jan Waring. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I worked for 30 years in a school system with elementary school children. I was a special education teacher and a school counselor. I have also had a private practice and worked with adults, families and teens. Recently, I had the opportunity to work in a high school for a few months. I loved every minute of it. I found that age group to be bright, committed and eager to make something of themselves. I have raised 4 children of my own. They are adults now with children of their own. They all live close by and we see each other all of the time. It makes me so happy! I look forward to working with you. The plan will be that we work together to get to where you most want to be. Take Care!

She is the absolute best. After several failed attempts in therapy, it’s nice to have found someone as great as her.

Jan dispelled any hesitancy I had around online counselling. She is precisely the kind of therapist I’ve been looking for—considerate, knowledgeable, firm, and experienced. I am getting exactly what I needed from our sessions and can’t wait to continue working with her.

Written on Dec 17, 2021 after therapy with Jan for 2 weeks on issues concerning relationship issues, family conflicts, intimacy-related issues, anger management, and adhd

I have had two sessions with Jan and already it feels like talking to an old friend who knows and understands me. Jan is insightful and a wonderful listener which go well with her ability to make connections in my responses to her questions and the things I am not saying. I have been in therapy before and was hesitant about the platform and how it might all work not being in person. I would have never found Jan if I had gone through the traditional methods of searching for a therapist in my area as she lives on the east coast and I'm on the west. I'm so thankful I have found her and look forward to all of the sessions to come under her care.

Jan has been a really great help in all sessions and really opened up my perspective on the limitations that I put on myself and that has helped me to try and change my mindset and work on myself in a positive way. She talks to you in the most lovely kindhearted way all while being realistic and getting the point across. She really takes on board what you’re saying and gets the situation that you’re in.
