John Diamantis
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW, MDiv, CSOTP

Sometimes life is overwhelming. Jobs, family, personal relationships, and school are all common stressors. These often lead to depression and anxiety, or perhaps even hopelessness, an inability to care about ourselves, and wishing it would all just end. No matter where you find yourself and what the struggle, there is hope, and I would like to share it with you. It might not feel possible to experience love, happiness, or peace right now, but that doesn't mean it has to stay that way. If you want help feeling alive, or just managing difficult emotions, set up a time to meet and give yourself a chance at a brighter tomorrow.

“A different kind of therapy experience.” You are the expert on you. Maybe you're looking for something that's not "just talking". If you're struggling with anxiety, ADHD, depression, autism, OCD, etc., this very personalized approach, can make all the difference. If that’s you, or your child, maybe this is what you've been searching for. Maybe you’ve noticed you can focus better if you’re fidgeting or playing a game, taking a walk, doodling, or petting a dog. My clients seem to think more clearly, make better decisions, feel calmer and happier, because we use these strategies in session, combined with traditional talk therapy.

Areas of exploration can include: Relationships, Work, Stress, Trauma, Grief & Loss, Addiction, Abuse, Psychosomatic Symptoms, Creativity, Self-Knowledge, Dreams, Life Goals, and Spiritual Development. Jungian Analysis focuses on your needs and potentials in the context of deeper meaning. Attention is given to the symbolic language and archetypal meaning of inner and outer experiences.

Jana Davis
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW, NBCCH, RRTP
Verified
Are you tired of the words 'coping skills' or 'let it go'? Would you rather talk to your dog (or perhaps a wall) than talk to a therapist? Then you may really like Jana Davis. She's not a traditional therapist. Jana is not interested in 'coping skills'. She's interested in what is holding you back, and taking care of that. The result is you feeling more like yourself, and that's a good place to be. She does this without having the client 'relive' anything. Jana knows those other therapies (EMDR, prolonged exposure, cognitive processing, and many others). She uses something MUCH faster and WITHOUT reliving.
