Getting to know Janice Gaines
Hi there, I'm Janice!
I am pleased to meet you on your journey of self care and growth! If you have ever felt stuck or overwhelmed, you are not alone. I work with adults navigating life transitions, stress, anxiety, depression, relationships, trauma etc. I will create a safe, supportive space as we do the work to obtain the type of life you want and reach your goals.
My focus
I work with people navigating life transitions affecting various areas of their life. Together, we will develop coping tools and create a personalized plan for growth that feels achievable. In our work together, I’ll combine empathy with actionable tools to help you find relief from whatever is holding you back while building your self-assurance.
My approach
I use an eclectic approach tailored to fit your specific needs to make it personal. I collaborate with you as a partnership to improve your coping, helping you feel empowered in a supportive environment to foster your growth. Solution focused cognitive behavioral therapy (SFCBT) along with mindfulness techniques have proven to be helpful in therapy
My communication style
Clear affirming communication is important to create a supportive and safe environment. I practice active and reflective listening to help you reflect on your experiences as we work towards understanding and change. If we’re working through something challenging, you can expect me to be calm and patient while building on your current strengths.
My journey to mental healthcare
My journey into therapy began with a desire to help others find strength through life’s challenges and to build resilience. I experienced the power of therapy in healing from working with trauma survivors. I truly believe that everyone has the capacity for growth, healing, and lasting change. It is an honor for me to hold space as you do the work.
