Janis Paonessa, LMFT
Marriage & Family Therapist | Claimed

I believe that every human is a social being from birth, and has a fundamental need to be in connection with others. Although we spend our entire lives achieving this state, sometimes we need a little help.

My commitment is to guide others in acquiring the skills necessary to live effective, meaningful lives, to the benefit of themselves, their families and their communities.

I work with Individuals, Couples, Families and Young Children.

In order to achieve the best results for every client, I work from the following theoretical positions, depending on the client's needs and predilections:

Cognitive-Behavioral (CBT)

Solution-Focused (SFBT)

Family Systems

Motivational Interviewing

Communication Theory

Gottman Method

Developmental
