Jania Sommers

I welcome individuals experiencing depression and anxiety who want to work from a strengths based perspective. Using compassion and mindfulness practice, and a feminist multi-cultural lens, I encourage people to work in a focused and positive way in order to find authenticity. In the past several years I have worked extensively with gay, lesbian and transgender people and am open, affirming and inclusive. In my experience, everyone has a creative spark that nourishes positivity and engagement. I appreciate the diversity in human experience through gender identity, sexual expression and creative work. Exploring internal feelings and outward behavior through mindfulness and compassion practices, combined with a healthy therapeutic relationship, opens up the possibilities of health and wellness. Appointments are available early on weekdays, selected weekday evenings and on Sunday. I accept private pay, some insurance and offer sliding scale on an individual basis.
