Juanita Ratner
Licensed Professional Counselor, PhD, LPC
Are you looking for a counselor who is genuine, warm, supportive, insightful? My holistic, informal approach is ideal for someone who wants to know themselves and change and grow in the process. Areas I work with include relationship issues, anxiety, panic attacks, self esteem, personal growth, emotional eating, life changes, depression, women's issues, stress, meditation and relaxation, spiritual searches, life transitions, and the quest for self-knowledge. I blend methods and approaches of many modalities: integrative, depth, existential-humanistic, family systems, cognitive-behavioral, developmental, awareness-based, and psychodynamic. I work with dreams.
Over a year of special training in trauma has provided skills to help you whether the trauma is an old childhood one or something recent. I have 35 years of study and practice in spiritual traditions of the East as well as Christianity and Judaism. Also dreams, existential-humanistic psychotherapy.
The uniqueness of my approach is my combination of insight, presence, caring, understanding of human nature, wisdom of how to become free from past hurts and self-defeating patterns in a non-violent, integrative way. Clients often seem to just "get better" in a way that feels whole and natural.
