About me

Hi, and thank you for reading my profile.

In my practice, I focus on helping clients overcome mental and physical health barriers. I specialize in solution-focused therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and holistic healthcare. I primarily work with adults from diverse cultural backgrounds, aiming to help individuals find peace in their daily lives, acceptance in their choices, and develop tools to manage stress.

My counseling style is laid-back. I’ve been described as supportive, caring, and compassionate, with a good sense of humor (as noted by me, with a smile!). I focus on identifying your strengths and helping you maximize them to overcome obstacles. I’m here to help you navigate the challenges you’re facing and to offer a safe, non-judgmental space where you can be open and honest.

Reaching out for help is the first and most important step, and I’m sorry that you’re going through a tough time right now. However, I’m really glad you’re here, and I’d like to support you as you work through these struggles. Together, we’ll explore your thoughts and feelings in a safe and supportive environment.

I bring over 25 years of experience as a clinical social worker, working with a wide range of ages and cultural backgrounds. More personally, my experience as a mother of a child with mental health challenges has given me a deep understanding of navigating the healthcare system and finding necessary resources.

If you’re in crisis and feel you may harm yourself or others, please call 911 or the 24-hour emergency crisis hotline. BetterHelp does not offer crisis counseling, but immediate help is available.

After reviewing my profile, feel free to ask any questions or schedule a time to talk, either by phone or video. If you need assistance scheduling, please reach out to me or the BetterHelp team. I look forward to working with you on this journey.

I have been with Jeana Rooks for a little over a month now and am so thankful for her. Her approach is gentle yet thought provoking, challenging me to think about issues I typically have not taken time to consider. I truly love working with her and look forward to our weekly sessions.

Jeana is a wonderful therapist and really makes me feel like someone is actually in tune and listening to me. I finally feel like I can actively work with my emotions and life’s situations.

Jeana is very effective. She goes at your pace. Dials into understand what your problems are and what you would like to work on. She challenges your thinking or cognitive dissonance in a way that clarifies what you need to resolve your issues. She is highly motivating and has given me the confidence to trust myself and what I need to do to be in alignment with my thoughts and actions.
