Dr. Janice Stuart

I help clients who are having difficulty with depression, anxiety, phobias, and trauma, grief and loss, low self-esteem, and family of origin related issues. People will often see me for help understanding and dealing with relationship problems, including jealousy, intimacy, anger, career, money, and children or problems experiencing a pattern of unsuccessful relationships. In addition, I assist people who are stressed, feeling overwhelmed, or feeling generally dissatisfied with life. People also see me for their own personal development. Often old patterns interfere with people being able to achieve their full potential. Therapy can help you identify these patterns and work through these related thoughts and emotions. Once they’re transformed, decreasing their influence, the way is clear for you to achieve personal goals. Sometimes folks with anxiety suffer from irritability and anger problems. In these instances, I use a body-based or self-regulation technique to siphon off the heightened energy. Clients usually find they get almost immediate relief using this tool. Anxiety also presents itself in relationships. When it’s necessary to get to the emotional roots of a relational problem, we’ll do some exploratory work into your history. When clients find a tool that doesn’t work for them, I use another. Everyone is unique in this regard and I view it as my job to find what works best for you.
