About me

I am a mental health professional licensed in Alabama with ten years of experience working as a therapist and licensed clinical social worker. 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).

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 realist problem-solving modalities, and will tailor our sessions and treatment plan to meet 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!

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.

Jeanetta has been incredibly informational and so helpful and we've only spoken a handful of times. I can tell she cares about my mental health and helps me understand the things I'm going through. Definitely recommend speaking with her
