Appreciate her professionalism, and ability to listen, and provide new ways to look at things. She is a fantastic therapist and I love her weekly messages (separate from just regular sessions), it’s always nice to know she cares even outside of sessions.

Janie, as she likes to be called, has been an absolute Angel. I am sad to be ending therapy for now but hope to come back soon. In less than half a year, she helped me find my voice and vocalize my feelings. Anyone considering her, she will do her best to do the same for you. I’m very grateful for her.

I've tried out many different therapists over the past several years and Janie is by far the best listener. She's incredibly good at actively listening, not interrupting, and not making her patients feel judged. She's generally a very nice, wholesome, welcoming, and thoughtful person. I would recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone who needs someone to listen to them rather than immediately attempt to fix their problems before they know what's going on, as some therapists do.

Juanita is very amazing. I love talking with her because she is very patient with me. I'm very thankful for having someone who listens actively and provides effective feedback, although sometimes things are hard to hear, Juanita says it and the most understanding and respectful way. Thanks Juanita....you saved my many relationships and most of all my marriage!!!!!

Janie has been an absolute blessing to my life in so many ways. She speaks with such sincerity and peace in her heart. She has a lot of experience with families, which was extremely helpful in processing my childhood traumas. Janie is a wonderful therapist via any medium: text, phone or video - I always come out of our sessions with a restored sense of well-being.
