Janice Motoike
Psychologist, PhD

From this perspective, I specialize in life transitions (including divorce and other losses), relationship and identity concerns,
women's issues
, as well as stress management with individual clients (no couples).
I believe that "mental wellness" is a holistic perspective that includes mind, body, and spirit, when a person can feel satisfaction and enjoy life regardless of their current situation. Through psychotherapy I support the process of exploration, growth, and change so that a person can use their strengths and resources to challenge life situations or challenges. I draw from multiple theoretical orientations and view therapy as a collaboration where the client is actively engaged in the process in healing and becoming whole. I believe that internal change engenders external change.

My particular areas of strength are treating anxiety disorders, OCD, depression, eating disorders,
women's issues
, body image & self-image struggles, and relationship/family problems.
I've been in the business for over 17 years and have a passion for providing competent counseling services within a Biblical framework. While I have a desire to integrate theories/strategies of psychology with Christian faith, I allow the client to determine what concentration of faith, if any, they prefer in the session. I would enjoy the chance to sit down and hear your story and offer feedback, wisdom & practical skills. I have a light-hearted & laid-back personality & enjoy supporting teenagers (11+), adults, families & couples through challenging times. Facing life's difficulties need not feel so burdensome or be braved alone.

My passion is to provide a safe environment for my clients to find true courage and healing through storytelling. Storytelling in the counseling office helps clients engage with difficult questions, heal from the wounds identified in the answers, and formulate a plan to move forward in their journey. My goal is to help others learn to tell their stories wholeheartedly and to come alongside them as they discover where they have come from and courageously forge new paths. At times those paths include exploring how faith impacts our journey. I would be honored to join you where ever you are.

Whether in Arizona or Ohio, your heart is heavy. Heavy with trauma, with grief, anxiety, depression. With life stress, with life transitions, with the intense demands of work and motherhood and relationships. You feel disconnection, a lack of existential fulfillment. Stuck. You have this person you want to be. These things you want to do. You want to move forward in life; deeply, wholly, mindfully. You are worthy of relief. Your children are worthy of the ripple effect of addressing intergenerational trauma. You are courageous. And you've decided that you are ready to lay it out, harness your strength, and heal.

Every person faces the wilderness of the world, whether that be depression, trauma, painful life experiences, or any other challenges. We are all searching for a way to walk in harmony with that wilderness and to grow through our experiences. I believe that each person walks their own path and that therapy is about individuals learning to recognize and accept their intrinsic worth and fostering resilience. Lasting change is possible and we all start somewhere. Why not start here?

My clients are incredible women who haven't felt like themselves lately, as life changes have derailed them and left them with increased anxiety, self doubt, and lost self esteem. If it's been hard to connect authentically with those around you and you want to be able to make decisions, engage with others, and handle recent changes with more confidence and peace, then I invite you to reach out.

What I have found is that most people are looking to feel significant, connected, validated, and content. People are exhausted trying to maintain a perfect lifestyle, raise the best kids, be the best spouse, friend, and volunteer they can be. They are trying to look amazing and maintain joy while doing everything for everyone else. Without even meaning to, people are piling more "to do's" on the list, more pressure on their life, and more expectations on those around them. And, at the end of the day, they feel tired, resentful, underappreciated, and are dreading the next day when they have to do it all over again.

At some time or another we may need help to understand ourselves, our thoughts and our actions. During these times we need a professional to help process and work through overwhelming thoughts and feelings that may be confusing or disorienting. When looking for someone to help, seek those who are uniquely qualified to work with your specific issues. I am uniquely qualified to work with children, adolescents and adults who have experienced various forms of Trauma. Some of the most common symptoms associated with trauma are: emotion dysregulation, anxiety, panic, nightmares, flashbacks, irritability, and lack of focus.

Women's Issues Therapists
How do you encourage a woman to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express concern and love for the person while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Offering specific examples of how an individual may be suffering, and what effects it has on them, should be done with compassion and with empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.
How can women prepare for therapy?
Women can prepare for therapy by being willing to talk about their past experiences and their private thoughts. Before a session, an individual may want to reflect on how they’ve felt since the last session and what’s happened in their lives. Between sessions, it can be useful to write down notes about their reaction to a given event or how they felt at a particular time.
How long does therapy for women’s issues often last?
As with any type of therapy, sessions depend on the individual and the challenges they face. Therapy types like Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), Prolonged exposure therapy (PET), and Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) can be brief, most often ranging from between 5 and 20 sessions. In some cases, such as for women with eating disorders, residential treatment may be recommended for an individual who is judged to be at high risk of self-harm. For any therapy, the duration will depend on the progress made and results realized.
How can women overcome stigma around specific challenges in order to seek therapy?
Women dealing with domestic abuse, sexual assault, eating disorders, and any other number of troubles may feel a stigma around seeking help. It’s important to remember that these issues are not uncommon and there is no shame in getting help for them. Therapy is confidential, and women can talk about their experiences without fear of judgment. Seeking therapy can be a courageous and liberating act, and an important step toward healing and recovery.
