Janet (Jan) Switzer

My communication style

People will come into my office from all walks of life and with many experiences. Often, clients will seek out services because their lives are not going well at this time. My role is to listen and ask thoughtful questions to open up the conversation. I would expect this to take a few sessions, and I would look at it as an investigative process.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have been working as a therapist for 21 years, and I felt this was my calling from an early adult age. I have had prior careers as I moved on the path to becoming a therapist.

My goals for you

I believe that therapy is a partnership. Together, we’ll identify and set goals that matter to you, whether they focus on improving relationships, building self-esteem, or another personal objective. Your goals may evolve as you gain new insights. We can adapt our plan at any time to ensure it’s always meaningful and relevant to you.

Our first session

Our first session will be an opportunity for us to get to know one another. We’ll discuss your background and what brings you to therapy. Therapy is a process, and we’ll continue to build our work together over time. It’s completely normal to feel nervous about your first appointment.

I identify as...

• Female
• Caucasian or White
