Welcome

Hello and Welcome to my website, JANARVIN.COM.

Whether this is your first time seeking a therapist or you have worked in therapy before, I offer compassionate and skilled help for a variety of life's problems. In my practice, I strive to help you get clear about your needs, abilities, values, choices, responsibilities, and relationships. As I work to aid you in recognizing and making choices for your highest good, my goal is to help you find your answers , uncover your true potential, and lead a life that is worth celebrating.

I work differently than many therapists , so please let me tell you about my practice and how I work. One of the differences I offer is longer session length and flexibility in how we work together .

LONGER SESSION LENGTH

In 30 years, I have never found any magic in the "50-minute hour" that most therapists offer. I schedule clients two hours apart - and each session ranges from one to two hours - depending on the particular session. I want us both to work hard during your time with me so we can maximize your benefit. I find that taking more time enables you to say what you need to say, me to work with you on what we need to - and both of us to feel a real sense of accomplishment at the end of the session. My clients seem to like it and feel they get a different and better experience.

EXPERIENCE

I have over 30 years experience doing marital counseling, individual and family therapy, grief work and help with recovery from trauma. I provide experienced counseling for all kinds of relationships - marriage, family, work, friends, adult children and elderly parents, and parenting. I am experienced working with individuals who are grieving , recovering from a divorce , or from a threatening illness or still suffering from childhood trauma or neglect. I also offer compassionate and understanding help if you are caring for an elderly loved one . I have specialized experience working with victims of trauma, including rape, and other crimes as well as abusive and neglectful family relationships.

Whether you are looking for a self-change guide or coach for occasional consultation or in depth work for longstanding struggles, I would be delighted to help. Please call me and I'll be happy to discuss your needs.

If you wish, I can help you recognize and resolve painful issues that are impeding living your best life now. I have helped many people with tough, painful pasts to better understand and resolve those old hurts that still challenge. I have training and experience using many therapy approaches and techniques, and I will use any ethical and effective approach to help you lead a more fulfilling and meaningful life. Lead a life you want - an intentional and authentic life.

If you're looking for extra support and guidance through a challenging situation or you're just ready to move in a new direction in your life, I look forward to working with you to achieve your goals.

OK - lots of therapists can help with these issues - certainly some better than others. Please look through the site and you may find some suggestions or information that can help you now. I have prepared several pages that can give you some ideas for various issues you are facing.

Please call for a FREE phone consultation or email me and I'll be happy to discuss your needs and and answer any questions you may have about counseling.
