Dr. Juanessa Booker

I am passionate about humans!

This includes ALL folx, adults, children, couples, and families. I am dedicated to advocating for mental health and wellness for individuals of all backgrounds, focusing on women’s health through all the stages of life, people of color, and LGBTQ+ communities. As a therapist, I offer specialized support that empowers clients with the thinking patterns, mindsets, and skills they need to succeed in a safe, non-judgmental space to explore and process life’s challenges. My clients describe me as warm, friendly, knowledgeable, and engaging. My work with clients focuses on navigating life’s transitions that can bring about physical, emotional, and psychological changes.

My approach is rooted in mindfulness, emotional regulation, and coping strategies to equip you to become the best version of yourself. This includes the ability to tell your own story and embrace your distinct identity. Our journey typically takes 6 to 8 sessions of a combination of evidence-based therapies, like Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). Most clients see decreased symptoms within a month and consistent improvement after that.

What I know for sure is that change is inevitable! It is my mission to walk alongside you as life hands you many detours and shifts. Whether good or bad, these shifts can make us feel unbalanced. When LIFE HAPPENS (a new job, marriage, aging parents, the emotional and psychological impacts of menopause, the loss of a loved one, sleep disturbances), I integrate therapeutic practices that promote self-compassion, stress management, and overall well-being.
