I was born in Anchorage, Alaska and have lived on the Kenai Peninsula with my mother, husband and two daughters since 2005. Since 2010, I’ve dedicated myself to mental/behavioral health challenges and teamed with my clients in order to help them achieve healthy/balanced personal lives and relationships. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and member of the Kenai Peninsula Community, I’m deeply committed to being there when you need me most—helping you explore, heal, and move forward into a happy and healthy mindset.

By taking the step to initiate therapy, you are already beginning the process of change. At times, we feel lost or lack of confidence to navigate through critical and life-changing circumstances. Although, we have many strengths and skills, we have difficulty accessing these during periods of family or relationship crisis, depression, anxiety, grief/loss, and trauma. As a clinician, I will use a mindful approach to facilitate the process of helping you reconnect with your strengths and discover skills, strategies and resources toward a healthier life.

My style as a therapist can best be described as eclectic, as I draw from a variety of techniques and theoretical orientations. That being said I tend to be highly client centered, which means I assume clients are the authorities about their own systems. In therapy, it's my job to describe what the science of psychology has to offer given the presenting problem and my professional experience in the area. However, it's my clients who get to decide how this information is applicable to their lives. More about my therapeutic orientation can be found on my website: www.reynoldstherapy.com

Do you struggle with feeling disconnected from yourself, family, and friends? Do you prioritize your needs last? Now more than ever, people are feeling anxious, overwhlemed, and uncertain about how they are supposed to manage their relationships, careers, and their lives. Ignoring your needs and not making time for yourself can lead to long-term problems for your mind and body. I believe it shouldn't be so hard to live a better life.

Hello, I'm glad you're here and taking the next step on your journey to caring for yourself. Life can offer so many exciting possibilities, but can also throw us a lot of unexpected twists and challenges. I want to help you navigate these challenges, walk with you through grief or change, and offer hope for the future. In my work I focus on building upon personal strengths, as well as strengthening relationships. I strive to be a safe landing place as you work through the complexities that are life. My specialties are working with adoptive families, attachment, divorce, life change, emotional skill development, and communication.

I look forward to helping with issues that have been hurting you and your loved ones. For some people it’s anxiety or depression affecting them in the here and now. For others it’s about something that happened to them years ago and continues to interfere in their life today. It may also be simply a recent change at work, pressures at home, friends, or school. Whatever the reason is, I am here for you. I work with you in a client centered manner, often using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, to identify a goal that fits your needs and help you achieve that goal. I generally work with adults and teens, individually, or as a family.

As a therapist, the relationship I develop with clients is based on respect, support and encouragement, and is focused on building their individual strengths and resources. I believe that a nonjudgmental and welcoming environment is crucial to provide a safe space for clients discuss past and current issues and move forward. I work with adolescents and adults who are seeking help with depression, anxiety, family relationships, stress, adjustment problems, social difficulties, and life transitions. My approach is eclectic, tailored to each individual, and uses strategies, techniques and tools that best fit the needs and preferences of each client.

Are you wondering how life got so hard and it feels like you can’t keep up? Maybe you are not happy with yourself or your partner. Have you lost your sense of self or feel unappreciated?

Greetings! My name is Janece and I am here to provide individuals and families with a safe and supportive place to work on sensitive concerns. I believe that change comes from commitment and dedication to improving oneself from the inside out. When individuals are able to regain control of life trouble, there is a tendency to feel better mentally, physically, and spiritually. I have my Doctorate of counseling psychology (PsyD), am a licensed professional counselor - supervisor (LPC), registered play therapist - supervisor (RPT-S), a nationally certified counselor (NBCC), certified dependency counselor - I (CDC-I), and a master addictions counselor (MAC).

I have experience working with pre-teens and adolescents in both inpatient and outpatient settings, and adults in outpatient settings. Part of my approach to the therapeutic process is to develop a trusting relationship with my clients. It is through the development of this relationship that growth and change happen as we work toward a common goal; to feel empowered to ignite a change for themselves. I work to help clients make sense of circumstances that have been confusing or upsetting, I also help them develop insight into how they relate to others, how they see themselves, and how their choices affect themselves and others.
