MY EXPERIENCE

I’m a licensed therapist, Certified Drug and Alcohol Counselor, and coach. My approach is shaped by both professional training and personal experience. I understand this work from both sides of the couch - as a clinician with 15 years of experience across treatment settings and as someone who knows what it means to love and support a family member who is struggling.

Throughout my career, I’ve worked with adolescents and adults in schools, Wraparound programs, residential treatment, sober living, PHP, and IOP settings.

Today, I work with parents whose adolescent or adult child is in treatment for mental health and/or substance use challenges, while also maintaining a virtual private practice. My work is grounded in evidence-based approaches, including Motivational Interviewing, CBT, DBT, and CRAFT, as well as my own lived experience.

Doing this work is both an honor and a privilege. I look forward to connecting with you.

    -Testimonial from group participant

  • "I had a great group experience! DBT (Dialectical Behavioral Therapy) is such a large topic and Jaynee did an excellent job selecting items to cover."

    - Testimonial from group participant

  • "We're amazed by Jaynee's abilities to take our descriptions of what is happening with our family and guide us toward healthy approaches with super helpful suggestions for ways to de-escalate, and strengthen healthy boundaries. She brings in-depth knowledge and a broad range of experience. Having worked with many therapists over the years, she truly was much quicker at understanding a complex situation than other therapists, and we were so fortunate that she made time to help us."
