About Juanita
License #: 86316I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor with experience in community mental health, residential treatment, juvenile justice, and crisis response. I work with adolescents 13+ and adults who may be navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, substance use and recovery, or difficult life transitions. My style is conversational, collaborative, and practical. I take time to understand your experiences, the ways you have learned to cope, and what you want to be different. You can expect me to be engaged in the process—asking questions, helping you make connections, and supporting you as you build skills and work toward meaningful change.
My Therapeutic Approach
My approach is trauma-focused, practical, and tailored to what you need. I help you understand how past and present experiences may be connected to the thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and coping patterns showing up today. I draw from evidence-based approaches including EMDR, Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), and CBT, along with somatic and nervous-system regulation strategies. Our work may include identifying triggers and patterns, strengthening coping skills, processing difficult experiences, and developing healthier ways of responding. For clients who want to include their Christian faith, faith can also be integrated into the therapeutic process, including space to address both healing and difficult experiences connected to faith.
Who I Help Best
I work best with adolescents 13+ and adults who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or ready to change patterns that are no longer working. You may be dealing with the effects of trauma, anxiety, depression, substance use or recovery, school or family challenges, or a difficult life transition. You may also be someone who has learned to push through, avoid difficult emotions, or keep everything inside just to get through the day. I work well with clients who want to better understand these patterns, build healthier ways of coping, and strengthen their resilience as they move forward.
What a First Session Is Like
Our first session is a chance to begin getting to know you and understand what brings you to therapy. We’ll talk about what has been happening, what you would like help with, and what you hope to gain from therapy. You don’t have to tell your whole story at once. We’ll begin exploring your experiences, strengths, concerns, and goals at a pace that feels manageable. I’ll also explain how we may approach our work together and answer any questions you have about the therapy process.
