With several years of experience behind me, I have found that one of the most important factors in successful therapy, is the therapeutic relationship. I believe it should be foundational to any other approach or technique used in therapy. I am confident in my ability to create a safe, supportive, and empathetic space for us to work together. Although vulnerability can be difficult or uncomfortable, the therapeutic relationship can provide a place where it can start to feel natural and organic.

Janine Sakai Practice Description
I currently offer virtual support for teens, young adults, and parents. I have extensive experience in working with these populations who have come from diverse backgrounds and have faced a variety of challenges and barriers in their lives. I strongly believe in a persons propensity towards survival and a sense of belonging. I have experience in working with individuals who come from varying family backgrounds and lifestyles. Working with parents has been one of the most rewarding aspects of my career. I have learned so much about development, attachment, and relationship, through this work. I've also gained a unique insight into the teen world and how the transition to adulthood can be both exciting and challenging! I possess lived experience in many challenges which provides a felt sense of understanding that allows for deep compassion and understanding in my work. I am currently exploring how animals and nature can be invaluable in healing! This concept may be integrated into the work we do as I study, learn, and practice. Please note my office hours reflect my availability to answer inquiries and not necessarily my availability for sessions. I offer a complimentary 15-min consultation where we can discuss scheduling options.
