My Approach to Therapy

Janice offers three models of marriage counseling: Traditional, Solo and Guided: TRADITIONAL MARRIAGE COUNSELING where couples come together to learn strategies for strengthening their bond; SOLO MARRIAGE COUNSELING when one partner can't or won't come to therapy; GUIDED MARRIAGE COUNSELING where Janice guides couples through her book, Framework Marriage Counseling. PET LOSS GRIEF COUNSELING: People and their pets experience a unique relationship unlike any other. When that bond ends, extreme pain and grief often results. Counseling helps get you through this sad period so that you can give your pet the legacy deserved. BIBLIOTHERAPY: A group therapy. After reading an assigned novel or memoir, therapist and client(s) can discuss how they relate to the story in their own lives. CANINE ROTARY MASSAGE: An animal assisted therapy that improves health, wellness and happiness for both humans and their pets.

My Practice & Services

Janice's Rotary Canine Massage for Psychotherapy is an animal assisted therapy to reduce depression, anxiety and stress in humans. This therapy is like none other. It takes you outside your depression, anxiety or stress as you massage your canine friend to better health and wellness.

The Duration and Frequency of Therapy

Length of therapy: The short answer is as long as you want. This is your therapy and you control the frequency. To help in this matter, I will often check in with you to see if therapy is going in the direction you want. You are the expert on your life; I am the expert on relationships. We work together to reach your goals. Here are some possibilities on how you might arrange sessions: once a week; every other week. one session and you are good to go; eight or more sessions until changes are seen and you feel satisfied. Talk to Janice for more ideas to fit your needs.
