The Founder & intuitive therapist of Mood Therapeutic Services, Janae.

My story

In high school, I thought I had life figured out. I graduated high school at 16 to pursue a career in Nursing. I told myself that by 25, I would be married, be a mom and a nurse practitioner.

 I got halfway through my nursing college career and as a stressed college student, I found myself sitting in front of a therapist to process new young adult  experiences and challenges. It took 2 tries to find a therapist that was a good fit!

I took therapy seriously. I was open and transparent with my therapist. We processed the hard stuff  that required me to look at the shadow side of myself. I forgave myself, gained insight and implemented new strategies. My therapist was so great, she inspired me to be that person for someone else. I had know idea that this was my calling all along!

My style

My first session as a therapy client, I was annoyed when my therapist nodded and said "mmm" repeatedly. I felt unsupported, still lost with zero strategies and more frustrated than how I came in.


As a therapist, you’ll probably see me nodding and hear some “mmm” from time to time, but I’ll also validate, encourage new insight, challenge and give strategies.

My MOOD

When I'm not providing therapy or spending time with family and friends, I am binge watching psychological thrillers/true crime, trying new recipes, listening to R&B and Hip Hop Classics or re-watching Grey's Anatomy! 

I also like to travel, attend concerts and shop on Amazon!


Background

My clinical experience paired with personal spiritual-seeking and a positive therapy experience in college resulted in the birth of a practice that focuses on healing the mind and body. I have over 10 years of experience providing assessment and diagnosis in the areas of individual, family, and group psychotherapy as well as crisis intervention and behavior modification. In recent years, I have worked in private practice supporting adolescent & teenage girls, young women transitioning into adulthood, and maternal mental health. I made a life decision to be the person that I once needed and give back to the field where I discovered myself.
