CLIENT-CENTERED COUNSELING AND THERAPY
Hey, I'm Janice. I believe client-centered counseling can be a place where motivated, open-minded adults feel empowered to achieve their personal goals.

THERAPY WITH A TRAUMA-INFORMED APPROACH
Counseling Services that Support Your Well-Being
But I'm not in therapy for trauma.
Though you may not seek counseling for trauma-related concerns, you may have experienced trauma in your community or perhaps by systems that you have participated in (e.g., education, medicine). Janice recognizes that the bigger picture provides context to your present well-being, history, and care needed.
Is this really necessary?
Yes, the unfortunate truth is that most people have experienced one form of trauma in their life, so the way in which Janice supports dynamic people, like you, carries importance. Using a trauma-informed approach means following six guiding principles, which Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) outlines as:
- safety
- trustworthiness & transparency
- peer support
- collaboration & mutuality
- empowerment, voice, & choice
- cultural, historical, & gender issues
Janice earnestly applies them into her care with clients, and, in the spirit of transparency, she is sharing her trauma-informed practices with you.
Trauma-Informed Care Practices
- Allow clients to make decisions about their therapeutic goals and services received
- Support clients to be active participants in their care
- Learn about strengths and resources to manage past challenges
- Keep clients well informed about all aspects of their care throughout the therapeutic process
- Offer options wherever possible
- Use interventions that respect diverse cultural backgrounds
- Build in opportunities for clients to engage in culturally sensitive interventions and practices that promote trauma healing and recovery
- Provide support and make decisions with respect and transparency
