Success Stories
INCREDIBLY POSITIVE
Janessa is awesome! She’s made my first experience with therapy incredibly positive and I now look forward to my weekly sessions with her. Her treatment methods are created and catered to my specific needs instead of using a one-size-fits-all approach. If you’re looking for a caring, effective therapist, I strongly recommend her.

A NEW CHANCE
Janessa gave me a new chance at a happy life. When I first started seeing her I was close to rock bottom and did not know how to start digging myself out. She was so good at “reading me” and always knew just the right thing to make me search and find it within myself to start to make the positive changes I needed to become happy.
If you are looking for a therapist that will give you a cookbook with instructions on how to get better, then therapy will never help you.
Having someone who knows how to guide you into finding it deep down in your subconscious is the only way to make positive changes and keep them up. There is no quick fix, because it will also be a quick relapse.
I honestly feel Janessa helped to bring out the best in me and for that, I will be eternally grateful.

EASY TO TALK TO
I have been working with Janessa for quite a few years. I first met her when she was practicing in NJ and continued to work together through video sessions once she moved to Florida. Janessa has helped me through so much. Her tools and guidance have helped me work towards finding my confidence again and getting to a better place, personally and professionally. She is always easy to talk to and I highly recommend her.

FINALLY ABLE TO BREATHE AGAIN
Prior to meeting Janessa I felt like I was drowning with all of my responsibilities as a mom, wife, and employee. From the first time I walked into her office, I always felt comfortable, and in a safe, unbiased, and calming environment. I am now able to prioritize things in my life and make time for me. Her suggestions led to lots of self discovery and more effective communication within my relationships. I am finally able to breathe again and have learned to navigate life, and live a more balanced life overall. I am appreciative of the clarity she has brought to my life and thank her tremendously.

COMMITTED TO GIVING WONDERFUL CARE
I truly appreciate Janessa and the time I worked with her. I ended up out of state and knowing the issues I had with feeling rejected and the tendency to feel abandoned she consulted with me from a distance and helped me find someone in the state I relocated to. She even took the time to reach out to make sure my new therapist was working out and that I was doing ok with all the transitions I was going through. She is committed to giving wonderful care and has great concern for the well being of her patients, I am a testimony to that.

HOPE RESTORED
After years of never once connecting with or feeling truly understood by anyone, I was completely ready to give up hope. I was referred to Janessa by a friend and within 5 minutes of meeting her I knew the hope I had given up on had been restored. I came to Janessa with several issues. From day 1 there was never any delusion or confusion about the type of help and services that she could offer me. If she felt that she could not, or was not the best person to address a particular issue I was having, Janessa being as extremely resourceful as she is, made sure to find someone or some other type of resource that could address a particular need I may have had. But what struck me most about Janess was her compassion and understanding, but even more was the sincerity with which she offered it. I have never felt so comfortable and truly cared about by almost anyone. Jan takes what she does to an entirely different level and while being 100% professional offers the support, trust, and understanding most would be lucky to find in a best friend. She completely changed my views. Bottom line, Jan was the support and guidance I needed at a time I needed it most and she will never know what she has done for me or the level of gratitude, admiration, and respect that I hold for her both as a professional but more importantly as a person.

REALIST
I reached out to Jan … she took her time and answered all the questions I had right away, and I booked an appointment in the following days. Jan made me realize a lot of things that were going on in my life. What I loved the most, was that she is a realist and always made me understand things by clarifying situations. She is very professional …I recommend her to everyone who needs to have clarity in their life; she’s amazing.

GENUINE
I have had the pleasure of working with Jan from 2011 – 2017. Jan expertly helped me …and supported me as I worked my way through. the pain. Once the work of that task was complete, I became acutely aware of how early events shaped my interactions… I began to see that I wasn’t very clear in what I wanted or expected. Jan helped me to see that I could feel so much stronger as a woman when I began to speak up for myself. She patiently guided me as I took baby steps to reclaiming myself: my likes, my dislikes, my goals, what I was willing and unwilling to do for someone else. She assigned homework, which was so very beneficial for me. I believe my progress was amplified by my willingness to work on myself outside of our weekly hour. Jan did her best to prepare me for the fact that relationships would be tested with the new way that I was being myself. (The improved me, JP 2.0). She genuinely wanted me to be my happiest self, the best version of me. The skills she left me with here in NJ have gotten me through additional rough patches. Thanks to Jan I feel confident that I can handle any situation life throws at me and know that I will come out, not just ok, but happier for the decisions I have made. I no longer coast with the status quo for fear of rocking the boat. I speak up for myself; and that feels really good!

SENSE OF URGENCY
It is my distinct pleasure and sincere honor to personally recommend Jan. We came to her several months ago in dire need of help. From day one, she has had a sense of urgency for our situation while providing understanding, empathy, attention, acceptance, and encouragement. Jan has provided… the ability to independently solve problems by not handing out solutions, but by TEACHING how to approach each situation that we may encounter while giving the tools necessary to do so. We have learned through our time with Jan new ways of thinking, the importance of being honest with ourselves, how to manage our emotions and, most importantly, how to effectively communicate; all of which is possible because she encourages and facilitates ways of practicing the new skills, and embracing new habits while using them in our everyday life. With much gratitude.

BRIGHTER JOURNEY
I have been going to Jan for over a year now and she has helped me in so many ways. Not only has she opened my eyes about many things but has also given me the tools I need to head towards a brighter journey. She is very flexible and always tries her hardest to accommodate my hectic schedule. I wouldn’t think of going to anyone else. I had gone to other professionals prior to meeting her and was never happy. With Jan I am comfortable and I highly recommend her services.

ONE OF THE BEST
I have been working with Janessa for three years. I feel extremely comfortable with her and I highly recommend her. I have been in and out of therapy for thirty years. She is one of the best.

EMPOWERD TO BE A BETTER ME
When I first considered going to therapy, I was very skeptical. I thought I knew exactly what my problems were (mainly other people) and I just wanted an unbiased opinion on how to fix them. I remember a few weeks in I said, “okay how soon will I see results?” I was frustrated in my career, confused in my dating life, disconnected from family, and really lost within myself. Janessa has been so patient and understanding. During our sessions I find myself beginning to explain why I reacted a certain way and she says, “Oh I know – I know YOU…” That’s what is so special about Janessa! She is completely relatable but also challenges me to be who I am. I never realized how much I hide myself to turn into a chameleon & avoid a tough decision or an awkward conversation. I would highly recommend Janessa. I am still a client, and now I feel empowered to be a better me!
