Hi, I'm Ja'Nera and I have 10 years of experience in the clinical setting. My approach to therapy is quite simple: it's understanding, safe and trauma-focused. My clients always report that I give them a weird sense of safety that fosters room for resolving trauma and managing symptoms.
I have been practicing since May 2012 and am one of only eight certified Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) specialists in the state of Louisiana. I received my training at a VA hospital, where I worked extensively with veterans, gaining deep experience in trauma-informed care.
Over the course of my career, I have worked across all levels of care, which uniquely equips me to support clients in crisis and navigate difficult, emotionally intense situations during sessions. I am also a certified trauma specialist, and I firmly believe that recovery and renewed hope are possible for every client I serve.
I have an undergraduate and master's degree in social work. I am a licensed clinical social worker who obtained three years postmaster level supervision to obtain my license in order to practice mental health therapy independently. I love working with individuals to help make their lives more satisfying.
Welcome -as a licensed clinical social worker, I believe prioritizing mental health is the key to success and happiness. Congratulations in taking the first step to a happier and fulfilled life. I've been practicing for 26 years working with all populations.
