Personal Statement
My name is Janae Bell (she/her) and I am a Licensed Social Worker (LSW) who specializes in working with trauma. This can span a whole host of concerns so, I always say - if it impacted you negatively, we can work with that. Therapy is not restrictive and is meant to be flexible for your concerns. I specialize in working with trauma/PTSD, body and gender dysmorphia, sexuality/gender concerns, anxiety, depression, grief/loss, postpartum concerns, and relationship concerns.
I am a firm believer that you are the expert coming into my office. You know your story better than anyone and I am just here to help you re-write the parts you want to change. I don't set goals for you, we do that together. Therapy is most effective when all parties are invested and dedicated to change. I approach therapy with humor and honesty because therapy should be fun and transformative, not something you dread. This does not mean it won't hard sometimes. However, I won't let you walk that difficult path alone.
I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) through EMDR Consulting. This is a specialized therapeutic technique to address difficulties in life and it can be done WITHOUT talking. EMDR can be used for many types of concerns including anxiety, depression, PTSD, chronic pain, and addictions.
I am also trained in Perinatal Mental Health. I can walk with you through all the mental health struggles from conception to the end of pregnancy, no matter how it ends, and beyond.
