About me
Mankind is made of strong stuff; we are resilient and adaptive by nature. I have trained in many tools of the trade over the years, but the most effective strategy I have found in helping others is to help them to find the answers they seek within themselves. My primary experience providing mental health services for children and adolescents and their families is in a residential setting for youths with behavioral and mental health challenges stemming from issues both biological and environmental.
My name is Jane Meyers, and I am an LCSW-R from Upstate NY. I am 47 years old, have three children (adult). I have been interested in psychology and anything to do with human behavior for as long as I can remember. My first Associate's Degree was from a local community college, and from there I finished my bachelor's degree through an online state university program. I received my Master of Social Work Degree from Marywood University. I have long felt that telecounseling will be able to provide services to those who might not otherwise be able to engage with a therapist, so I am very pleased to be able to work in this manner.
I look forward to learning from each and every one of you in our work together.

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Jane Meyers. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with Teen Counseling might be different.
Jane is an absolutely brilliant couples therapist! Her advice is not super specific, but sometimes you just need to go back to the basics. She is a safe space to air your grievances. She does not take sides.
Jane has helped me develop better relationships.
Jane is amazing therapist, I would highly recommend!
Jane is a wonderful therapist and has helped my wife and I greatly
Jane has been exceptional. She truly helps my partner and I better understand each other and makes us both work on ourselves as well as the relationship. she really listens and tries to get to the root of why we feel a certain way and then teaches us to look at things through different perspectives so that we may better listen and offer support to each other. She always checks in on each of our individual mental health statuses before starting the couples session.
She checks in during the week as well and always makes time for a second weekly session if we need it. We both feel very grateful to have found her.
Jane is everything we could’ve hoped for in a therapist and more. We value her so much and she has been incredible for our relationship and us each individually as well. Could not speak more highly of her.
Thus far, the sessions we have had have been very good. I feel like she cares, listens and does her best to make helpful suggestions tailored to our needs. I would say she is very attentive to messages, I do not expect an instant response especially outside of normal business hours, but she still answers quickly.
I am very happy to have Jane as my therapist! She specializes in so many therapies and always is there to message me and provide valuable feedback. Having a dissociative disorder requires expertise and she has it.
I have had Jane Meyers as a therapist on more than one occasion. She has helped me to realize things that I didn't believe about myself. She has given many useful tools to help me. I really appreciate and trust her.
Jane has been my life saver in so many ways. She has helped me cope with many different events in my life and has taught me how to open up and be honest to not only myself but those around me as well. She is an amazingly knowledgeable therapist and a great listener for when I just need to let off steam. I would highly recommend anyone from any background to consult with her.
Jane has quite literally saved me from having my anxiety spiral out of control.
Jane Meyers is fantastic. She is supportive and helpful in addressing my concerns. She's honest and real, while offering reflective suggestions and observations. I highly recommend her.
Jane listens to my partner and I in a caring yet neutral way, and offers support, advice and exercises that help us build a better and stronger relationship. We look forward to our sessions and know we will end our calls with a positive and hopeful feeling
Jane is a great therapist. She's real, and I love her emotional reflections on my stoically presented issues.
Ms. Jane Meyers has helped me in more ways than one. Helping me use technique's to use in my daily life with anger & anxiety, she's a true Gem, and a true Treasure. Thank you forever Ms. Jane Meyers You've gotten me through a lot, you will forever hold a special place in my heart.
Jane has been my therapist for over 4 months now, and I've found her to be warm, non-judgemental, encouraging and constructive. I really appreciate that Jane is able to gently and without judgement challenge me at times when I'm maybe not being completely honest with myself about something. This doesn't happen often, but she seems to just instinctively know when the right time is to apply a little gentle pressure, whilst always maintaining that this is a safe and welcoming space. I also really appreciate that Jane seems to respect me as a person and doesn't ever talk down to me or underestimate my intelligence. Therapy is hard! ...but Jane has made things as painless as possible...and I really respect and appreciate the advice she gives.
Jane is so understanding. Very knowledgeable and always gave me ideas on what to do.SHE IS TOTALLY FANTASTIC. I'm missing her.Oct 19th I got layed off and I had to quit my sessions which I'm missing it so much .but I can't afford it. Thank you!
Jane's depth of experience, knowledge, compassion, and practical advice make her an excellent therapist; We've been working together almost a year, and I've grown to rely and trust her wisdom and insights, in addition to enjoying our sessions immensely. I can unequivocally recommend Jane as a highly competent and caring therapist.
Without getting into it... Jane has been amazing at going slow and working on everything as it comes up or not in my life time of trauma.
Helping me with paperwork from another country that I'm sure she doesn't have to do. She has been perfect for me and my needs. Could not recommend enough! She even answers the hard questions that you never wanna say out loud and makes you feel better for asking.
Sorry - probs a bit hard to read... still working on the sleep thing and have not had enough of it to make a legible review with correct grammar ect.
Jane is wonderful and kind. She listens and provides resources to help understand myself better
Jane is the most caring, compassionate and insightful therapist and I feel so lucky to be working with her! Her support has made a huge difference in my life and I am so grateful for her skills, expertise and ever kind and patient approach.
Best therapist I've ever had. Thank you, Jane!
Jane is simply amazing ! Highly recommend (:
Jane has been a source of clarity, comfort, and great help for me over the past year. I look forward to each of our meetings and I always sign off feeling much better than I did before the session.
Jane is kind, thoughtful, and offers sage advice. My life has changed for the better since i started these sessions and Jane is to thank.
I would recommend her to anyone - and i have done.
Awesome
Jane has been wonderful and truly listens. She has helped me to better understand myself and my needs all while guiding me in positively expressing that in my relationship.
Amazing therapist—thank you
There are no words to express how much Jane has helped me. She is a genuine person who cares about even minor details of your life and is always there to offer intelligent perspectives and insights or just listen if you need to rant. She is intelligent, empathetic and personable.
Very please with how Jane is supporting my daughter
Jane is smart, knows her stuff, isn't afraid to go through the stuff with you. I'm glad she's on here because honestly, it would have taken a lot of appointments and driving to find someone with her skills and insights and talent, and teencounseling.com made it easier to find her. Thank you Jane and teencounseling.com.
Jane is more than amazing. She is such a great listener and always provides such great advice. She goes above and beyond and is truly what everyone should look for in a therapist. Can't wait for the future with Jane and I am so thankful for her.
Jane is awesome, approachable and kind. After have 3 other therapists I finally felt like I connected with someone. Shes really down to earth and understands with so much compassion.
Professional, experienced, kind, and insightful. I've grown through my time with Jane and find the tools she gives me genuinely helpful. I always look forward to our sessions.
Jane is the best. I’m so lucky to have been paired with her - she just gets it!
Jayne is very professional but also personable and I have found my counselling so far, to be very helpful. Jayne is understanding and provides various explanations for the way I feel and coping strategies I can use to help. I feel very confident that I have benefitted from counselling and will continue to do so.
She is wonderful!! Very supportive and encouraging. She’s always there and has helped me so much already in a short time working through my fears.
I've seen noticeable progress since I've started with Jane not that long ago. I really appreciate that she checks in, and just has a very good sense of understanding. I'm really grateful to have her as my therapist, and would not hesitate to recommend her!
Thank you for your support!
Jane is a fantastic person she has helped me through a lot, I need to think things out with someone and it helps keep my anxiety down and feeling happier it’s a great source to have at my fingertips. Thank you.
Jane has a wealth of knowledge and experience to draw from. She is very validating in her approach and also encourages self-reflection and problem solving. I’ve made a lot of progress with her.
Jane is absolutely amazing. I've had several therapists over the years, and Jane is hands down the best I've ever had. She is really helpful and I really appreciate our conversations. She really listens and checks in regularly. She's just terrific.
I've been working with Jane since last April. I had never really dealt with any sort of real anxiety before and, as the world was shutting down due to COVID, I was also very sick with another issue. The stress of not being able to walk, being bedridden, the pandemic, and the incessant 24 hours a day of sirens in NYC just took me beyond a brink. My wife had used teencounseling.com (or other services) for years and she recommended I talk to someone about what I was dealing with.
At the time I was having debilitating anxiety attacks that made me feel like I couldn't breath, as if I was having heart-related issues (ultimately sending me to see a cardiologist multiple times), and even resulted in us having to call 911 one evening because I felt like my throat was closing up. Jane worked very closely with me on methods for managing my anxiety with various exercises and processes. She also encouraged me to spend time considering the things that do and don't work for me during my periods of anxiety and to recall those when I am having another attack.
Over the last 10 months, I've progressively gotten better and better and she and I have actually moved on to talk about other things including my marriage and issues with my family. All the while she has been a really great listener, always provides constructive and helpful feedback and gives me good perspectives to consider. I'm sure that one way or another I would have come through the pandemic either way, but I don't think that I would be in the place that I am now without having Jane be there for me throughout the worst of times. I am very grateful for her help and talks over the better part of the last year and I cannot recommend her highly enough.
Thanks for everything, Jane!
She is awesome!
Jane makes me feel at home. She is comforting, reasonable and provides actions I can use to cope!
Jane is knowledgeable and supportive. She has really helped my husband and I navigate some challenges by helping us build skills for effective communication. I highly recommend Jane as a counselor!
She is very helpful and has a firm grasp of a lot of different techniques that help my mental health greatly
Understanding, open-minded, and supportive.
Jane is fantastic and listens well.
Friendly and attentive and familiar with a range of perspectives helpful toward recovery.
Down to eath.. and very helpful
I only did a few sessions with Jane but she is warm and easy to talk to. I am stopping because my family is using local family therapy but learned about myself through talking with Jane. Thank you!
Jane is very respectable and understanding of what I’m going through. She is also very understanding of what I want to accomplish.
She’s helpful!
I have just been with Jane a short time and we have developed an easy and understanding rapport. I appreciate the connectedness right off the bat. She is very understanding of my situation and makes great suggestions. She also asks questions that help me to think things through clearly. I appreciate the thought provoking assignments she sends. I like talk therapy, and have found what I need in Jane, a compassionate heart!
Jane Meyers is just what you need to survive a bout with depression or anxiety or PTSD. Or a global pandemic.
Quite attentive and helpful.
Jane is so sweet. I appreciate the regular check ins. Although I’ve only talked once or twice so far, she seems so knowledgeable and experienced with assisting with my counseling needs.
Jane is very understanding and genuine, I hope to learn some more great things. Thanks MS. Meyers.
Jane is a great and I developed a rapport with her almost immediately. I consider myself lucky to have found her.
So far, Jane is wonderful and I have only been with her for two weeks!
In such a short time, I feel it is working.
She is amazing and so comfortable to talk to.
Jane is very kind and understanding. She is also sharp and knowledgeable. It is a pleasure to work with her and I look forward to our sessions. I always feel they are productive.
Love working with Jane. She has an amazing vibe that just lets you feel open and honest and I just feel like we mesh well together.
Jane is caring, empathetic- a wonderful listener and always has a great action plan. She is unique in that she follows up with me regularly. She understands my issues and is great at showing me a different way to think about them. I would highly recommend her to anyone who needs a therapist. I feel lucky to ' have her on my team '
Jane is really a special and thoughtful person. As a black man, I’ve avoided therapy my whole life and couldn’t have found a better person to work with. Jane has been working with my wife and I for several months, and every session feels helpful. Jane listens, is smart in her responses, asks the questions that lead to understanding. I regret not having done this sooner.
I really appreciated my time working with Jane. She was responsive and always seemed to have a good grasp of my situation. Her advice was good too. This was my first experience with any kind of therapy so I don't have anything to compare it to. Just having someone listen to my situation and talk through my worries was helpful. I recommend Jane to others.
I am truly grateful to have Jane as my therapist. Her ability to be compassionate and offer a different perspective is priceless. Her nonjudgmental and empathetic style is just what I need.
Extremely well studied with plenty of relevant experience. Pleasant and knowledgeable over video and consistently checks in without prompting. Truly everything you could hope for in a therapist.
I highly recommend Jane. You can tell she has a lot of experience and very professional. From our first session to today. She listens and gives constructive feedback. Thank you, Jane, and looking to a better me :)
Jane, thanks a ton for your support, wisdom, and patience. Working with you has made a better, stronger, more resilient version of myself. I'd recommend Jane to everyone searching for a competent and understanding counselor.
Jane has been fantastic so far at supporting and helping us with our issues. She does not display bias and is very fair
Jane is the only counselor I've ever had to actually help me. For 30 years I've been in therapy off and on, nothing ever changed. She has helped me so much more than I thought possible.
I have been counseling with Jane for about a year. She is excited to offer solutions for my problems, she gives me good advice that is (sometimes) hard to hear, but needed! I recommend her to anyone who seeks to become mentally well and in control of their life
Jane is great. She is a great listener and helps you put things in perspective. She is very flexible with the flow of the conversation.
Jane is extremely thoughtful and digs deep. She is always willing to make sure that no matter how difficult the conversation is that at the end of each session everyone walks away hopeful and honest.
She’s just amazing. Love her down to earth attitude but professional at all times.
Jane is smart, funny and empathetic. She's well-versed in her field and has the kind of experience that only comes with time, observation and sincere critical thinking. I really like Jane and the positive energy/passion she brings to our sessions.
Jane is a kind and very caring person. She is a great counselor who offers many practical and positive and helpful suggestions. She has a very sound understanding of trauma and her guidance has been very helpful . I am grateful to have found her.
Jane's gentle re-approaches remind me that I am never alone with my battles, even when I'm struggling to put my emotions into words. She has offered to open her daily schedule up to offer one-on-one time when the urgency in my messages would have gone unnoticed by many. I am very happy to have matched with her, as she keeps me grounded, smiling and persevering.
I have enjoyed and appreciated having Jane as my counselor. She is very responsive, knowledgeable and understanding. She offers great advice. I would recommend her to anyone seeking a warm and kind-hearted counselor.
Very sweet and always there for me making sure I’m okay at all times!
Jane has really helped me the past few weeks. When I first came to her, I felt really, really alone and like I didn't have anyone who would understand me. But Jane is always there to listen. She's given me a lot of techniques to deal with my anxiety and depression. I feel much better after our sessions and like I know what to focus on next.
Jane offers very quick and attentive advice and keeps up with me, even when I get into the habit of not responding or when I become secluded. She also offers a variety of tools and means of communication so that we can continue making progress.
I cannot recommend Jane more highly. As a professional seeking counseling with too much on my plate already, Jane has been exactly what I needed in form and substance. From helping me find perspective as I navigate a new marriage, job, and home, to checking my BS habits that were holding me back, all with the flexibility of the teencounseling.com platform. If it were not for Jane and this system I never would have gotten the consistent, responsive help I desperately needed to make real change.
Checks in on a regular basis, makes sure that your well being is taken care of. She listens and gives great tips and advice that have actually helped with my anxiety (:
Jane is great so far. Jane has been great so far and is really good about pinging us to see what's going on and to keep things moving forward.
Very active and really all I could ask for in a counselor!
Jane is open and understanding - offering a listening ear when needed, as well as some strategically placed suggestions for growth.
Jane is a good person and a good counselor. She was able to listen to my partner and I and understand what are challenges are, make suggestions and analyze it all in a way that is suitable for us to understand. She made a difference and facilitated our efforts in a finding the right tools to tackle our issues. If we ever need help again we’d reach out to her again. Overall really good!
Very helpful. Thanks a lot.
So far, Jane has been exceptionally helpful in empowering me to understand my anxiety and how to begin addressing it. There's a lot of work to do, but I know that I will get better at it. She listens/ reads carefully and responds in kind. It's fantastic to have a partner/ coach like Jane in this. I look forward to my continued emotional growth with her guidance.
Great!
Jane is a fantastic therapist. She is extremely knowledgeable, easy to talk to, and clearly very passionate about helping others. I felt comfortable talking about difficult topics with her, and her open minded attitude really made me feel a lot less weird about my anxiety and OCD. Thank you for working with me, Jane!
Jane is very kind and sincerely listens to me. I really appreciate having her to speak to during this different time in my life.
Jane is sooo nice! She's super knowledgeable in various aspects, and what she doesn't know she will do research on, just for me! She takes time to understand what she needs to, and really offers herself to me in every way.
Jane seems like a lovely lady who has the time and patience for people in need of counseling. I wish her all the best in her future.
