About Janae:
My name is Janae and I am so happy that you are here, starting a counselling journey for you or your child can take a lot of courage. As a child therapist, I specialize in supporting children and adolescents through emotional, behavioral, and psychological challenges. Using age-appropriate therapeutic techniques such as play therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), art and talk therapy, I aim to help children express their feelings, develop coping skills, and navigate difficult life situations. My goal is to provide a safe, nurturing environment to foster healing, exploration of thoughts and feelings, and personal growth for your child while working closely with you, the caregiver, to best support your child's overall well-being.
​
I have experience supporting children through many challenges including anxiety, depression, trauma, family changes (like divorce or loss), behavioral problems, ADHD, peer difficulties and self-esteem issues. My priority is offering therapeutic support that is tailored to your child and family's unique strengths and needs.
​
Please feel free to reach out to me for booking inquiries! I look forward to connecting and embarking on this journey together!
