Jannetta listens and takes me seriously. She challenges me but not in ways that I can’t handle. She helps me to view life in a different perspective
Jannetta is a great person. She is caring and compassionate. She listens to me and what I have to say and she gives me great advice. Her helping me to identify my root issues has been very helpful. Her putting labels on things like, narcissist, victim blaming, abuse, trauma bond, ect. Really makes me feel validated and heard. She understands my feelings and helps me to find better coping mechanism. I asked her to let go of the past and she was very kind and explained it to me a couple times. I have been actively working on myself with the advice of Jannetta and she is guiding me in the right way. She gives me homework, but only after she asked if I wanted it and I do. I have nothing negative to say about Jannetta
Jannetta is a wonderful therapist! She listens well and gives great advice/feedback. She has been excellent at telling me hard truths that I need to hear in a no-nonsense way. I always leave our session feeling relieved to have processed my challenges with her.”
