Jana Grooms

My communication style

My communication style is warm, collaborative, and direct. I listen carefully and reflect on what I am hearing, while also offering thoughtful feedback and practical insights. You can expect a supportive, judgement-free space where I encourage self-awareness, accountability, and meaningful change as we work through challenges together.

My journey to mental healthcare

I began my career as a teacher, where I found myself drawn to students who were often misunderstood or overlooked. I continued to work in residential settings and with adults coping with serious mental illnesses and trauma. Seeing real suffering up close shaped my commitment to helping people feel understood, supported, and capable of real change.

My goals for you

Therapy is a partnership where we set clear, meaningful goals together and revisit them as you grow. I focus on practical progress while allowing space for goals to shift as insight deepens. Throughout the process, I support motivation by encouraging awareness, accountability, and steady movement towards lasting change.

Our first session

In our first session, I'll explain how I approach therapy and what you can expect from working together. Most of the time is yours--I want to hear your story, in your own words, at your pace, and only what you're comfortable sharing. We'll focus on building safety, clarity, and a sense of direction moving forward.
