I am a trauma-informed licensed therapist with ten years of experience working with individuals, couples, and families. One of my greatest joys as a therapist is working with members of diverse communities to be the best version of themselves. I believe that we can best heal and grow through emotional intelligence, self-mastery, and understanding of how our cultural background and life circumstances have impacted our life outlook.
I have worked with individuals and families addressing depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship issues, parenting problems, as well as identity and career challenges. I have also helped many people over the years establish a stronger sense of self-esteem and life direction. I am trained in trauma-focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), as well as Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR).
Helping individuals heal from the impact of trauma, as well as empowering individuals who have experienced physical, emotional, and psychological abuse is one of my greatest passions. I have also worked with countless couples and families to improve relationship dynamics through trust-building and communication improvement.
My counseling approach is strengths-based and person-centered. I believe in treating everyone with unconditional positive regard and I strongly oppose stigmatizing labels. I employ the use of pragmatic problem-solving modalities, and will tailor our sessions and treatment plan to best address your personalized needs.
I am here to assist you in addressing your self-identified needs related to living your best life. I look forward to working with you!

I've been in therapy on and off for most of my life, and Jeanetta is easily the best therapist I've ever had. Her communication style is compassionate and refreshingly honest, and her knowledge of multiple therapeutic modalities means we can target my issues from lots of angles. She's culturally competent and attuned to the issues of both racial and sexual minorities, and I genuinely feel like I'm safe and in great hands with her. Working with Jeanetta has changed my life and relationships for the better, and I feel more hope for my future now than I have in years.

I have used BetterHelp before and, while it was a good experience, I felt limited in my connection with my previous therapist. After a few negative experiences elsewhere, I was hesitant to try again, but Jeanetta has be absolutely amazing. She changed the whole game for me. Communication was effortless and I felt very safe with any and all topics. I genuinely feel heard, understood, and without pressure. She offers a variety of ways to process information and works to find a plan that fits your specific needs and personality. She adds humor to sessions (which helps me immensely) and sends very educational resources. It seems that whatever we're discussing, she has a relevant quote, video, or story to bring it all together. I found myself looking forward to our sessions instead of being overwhelmed with the usual anxiety.

Jeanetta is warm and personable. She is someone that I really felt I could be honest with. Jeanetta gave me actionable and rational feedback to help me understand myself better, move through dark days, and was also there when I just needed to talk to someone. I appreciate her hard work and professionalism and sincerely believe my sessions with her have had a positive impact on me.

Jeanetta is amazing. She has completely changed my views of what I "thought" therapy was. She makes me feel so comfortable. Every one of our sessions is just a conversation.. like talking to a friend who understands with zero judgement! She's helped me open up in so many ways and I've started to implement things we've talked about in my day-to-day communications with people without even realizing it.

When I first started my sessions, I was so anxious because I never had therapy before. Jeanetta put me at ease and actually listened to me. Her listening skills are tremendously great, her patience is outstanding, her ability to get me thinking and understanding my patterns and making me think more about my choices, and stop me from overthinking is just what I needed. The knowledge, the tools, and homework she gives me is very much needed and helpful. Every time I leave her sessions I feel empowered to keep going on. I could go on and on. She's literally my rock and I thank God for her!!!

She is amazing. Sometimes it doesn’t feel like I am speaking to a therapist it feels more like a friend. She is professional and gives good advice. She allows you to speak freely with no judgement and also let’s you know when you’ve made good progress and tells you she’s proud. She is also very patient. I love working with her.

Jeanetta is AMAZING!!! She is attentive, kind, and knowledgable. She never judges me and instead approaches me with patience and understanding. She listens so well and will remind me of something that I said weeks before that I forgot I disclosed! She keeps me on my toes and challenges me without being overbearing. I had some worries about therapy and she has put me completely at ease. She's also incredibly easy to talk to weekly! We had a great connection from day 1. I've already noticed such a substantial change in my mentality and my anxiety levels. I'm SO grateful for her!!!

Ms. Jeanetta is Really good at what she does. She listens and evaluates your needs. She pointed out things I was totally blind to and she recognized things that I felt in myself that I haven’t shared before . She’s awesome

Jeanetta Thomas is extremely supportive, knowledgeable, and empathetic. She is a cautious listener and gives me thoughtful space as needed to express myself. Our sessions never feel rushed or like they are transactions. She sees me as the complex but whole human that I am, and never once has she made me feel ashamed or like I am in need of fixing. She is encouraging, kind, and a consummate professional. Highly recommend!
