Janette Ruano

My communication style

I provide warm, understanding, and empathetic support for my clients. I actively listen to ensure I am providing a supportive environment for therapy to each client. I ask clarifying questions to ensure I am understanding my client. I also allow each client to provide me with feedback to ensure I am on the same page as my client.

My journey to mental healthcare

I was drawn to how transformative therapy can be for an individual's life, as quality of life can increase, and the ripple effect this work can provide within the community. I am in awe of the resiliency we as human beings possess and how this work can serve as reminders of that.

My goals for you

Together, we will identify and set goals that matter to you. We explore long-term goals to ensure we are clear with what you want to achieve, as well as short-term goals that are specific and achievable. I also explore with you if adjustments are needed throughout treatment.

Our first session

Our first session will be an opportunity for us to get to know one another. I will ask questions to learn your background and concerns that led you to initiate services. Feeling nervous is normal, and we will take each moment one step at a time. We will also explore skills you have already utilized to ensure I am meeting you where you are at.

I identify as...

• Female
