Janet is conniving. She was recommended to me by Washington Apple Health as being trans-competent for children. Not only does she not know the first (or last!) thing about kids who are trans, but she said that it's possible to influence a kid to be trans! She also believed every lie that my ex-husband spouted about us, saying that we "hate men" (not true) and that our kid is "not safe to be a boy." She even wrote a statement for them in court, which was dismissed because of its ludicrousness.

Janet is fantastic. She has been so helpful for my family. She's compassionate, informed, experienced, and really has the child's well being in mind and puts the child first.

I saw Janet for year when I was living in Tacoma. I was coming out of a very dysfunctional situation both job wise and home wise. Our sessions were invaluable in helping me cope and move into a more healthy place in my life. She was a great listener and related very well with me. She was very understanding and very good at re-framing things to help me gain perspective on the situations I was dealing with. I would probably still be going to her if I hadn't moved out of the area.

Janet needs to take a communication class. Take your children elsewhere! Very unprofessional

We came to Janet with very complicated family issues and I was relieved that we had. We have very complicated family issues, and once we had established a rapport with Janet, I felt we were really able to begin making progress. She really hears all sides of an issue and I feel she cuts right through the muck to get to the point of the issues and makes our efforts more effective. She has so much experience and this is a valuable asset of hers. I couldn't recommend her more!
