More about Janina

- 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 allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
