More about Janina

  • 11 years' experience
  • Female
  • Psychologist

As a licensed clinical psychologist in California, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My therapeutic approach centers on compassionate, trauma-informed care that honors each person's unique journey. I have extensive experience working with LGBTQ+ communities, young adults, and individuals processing stress, anxiety, trauma, and life transitions.

My practice focuses on helping clients develop self-love, improve communication skills, and heal from challenging experiences like grief, isolation, and past trauma. I'm particularly passionate about supporting survivors of sexual assault, those managing chronic health conditions, and individuals confronting prejudice and discrimination.

Drawing from evidence-based practices, I create a warm, affirming therapeutic space where clients can explore their experiences, build resilience, and cultivate meaningful personal growth. My goal is to walk alongside you with empathy, respect, and genuine commitment to your healing process.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
