Getting to know Jana Gottfried
Hi there, I'm Jana!
Hello, my name is Jana Gottfried, and I am a licensed clinical social worker with a Master's in Social Work from the University of Southern California. I am passionate about helping people work through issues around anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, and life challenges.
My approach
My therapeutic approach is centered on cognitive behavioral therapy because CBT gives you concrete tools to gain more control over your emotions and work through issues. I also use mindfulness and creative visualization exercises to help you learn how to trust your own intuition and emotions.
My focus
I work with people struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, life transitions, and issues related to chronic illnesses.
My communication style
I help clients feel safe by being very non-judgmental and making sure they feel heard in session.
My journey to therapy
I have a background in 12-step programs and am a member of Recovery International, a self-help group. This experience influenced me to enter the helping profession. My journey to becoming a therapist comes from my own experiences in therapy using CBT. I felt empowered learning tools that helped me calm myself and view life more realistically. My professional training and life experiences with CBT and Recovery International have made me optimistic about helping others.
My goals for you
I set goals with clients based on what we mutually agree upon. I educate clients that therapy is time-limited and that goals are set according to what a client is willing to work on between sessions.
My first session with you
The first session is about gaining a better understanding of the issues that brought you to therapy and seeing if I am a good fit to work with you.
