A Message from Jeanette

Hello. I am glad you are here and that you are working on your mental health. I am passionate about helping you. Therapy works best when you are working with a counselor who is a good fit for you. To that end, let me give you some information about me and my style of therapy. I practice from a person-centered and existential perspective; I consider you to be the expert in your own experience. My job is to bring education, creativity, knowledge, and skills to collaborate with you and help you move in the direction you want to go. I see us as two experts collaborating. I pull liberally from existential theory and incorporate techniques from many theories in order to tailor therapy to your needs. My style is authentic, direct, transparent, and nonjudgmental. I believe there are many "right" ways to be in this world. I want to help you find your best, most authentic way of being and truly excel at life.
