About me

I am Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) licensed in the state of Kentucky by the National Board of Professional Counselors to provide mental health counseling. I graduated from Mid-Continent University receiving a B.A. in Missions and Evangelism. I obtained my M.Ed., in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Murray State University, Ky. I have over 7 years of experience and extensive training in treating adolescent and adult behavior concerns. As well as, 4.5 years training and experience in suicide crisis prevention and intervention. I have worked with clients with a wide range of mental health concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, OCD, and ADHD. I have also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse.

I am certified in Person Centered Approach, Grief Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Race-Trauma and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Therapies. I also work with couples to strengthen their relationships and offers divorce counseling to those who are considering divorce or have made the decision to split.

Over the years, I have gained personal and professional experience working with younger populations. For the past 4 years, I have worked in a college campus setting and have had a range of young clients. I have also worked in alternative and highschool school settings. I work to provide a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can express yourself openly and freely. Together, we will work on those areas where you feel you struggle most, exploring new perspectives, ideas, and skills to make positive changes in your life.

My therapy style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and don’t believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, motivational interviewing, and client-centered therapies. However, I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.

It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.

I look forward to working with you!

Written on Feb 11, 2024 after therapy with Jana for 1 month on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, family conflicts, sleeping disorders, and anger management

Over many years, I have tried therapist. I stopped trying because they were terrible. They would have you fill out some papers, talk to you 15-20 minutes and charge you for an hour and complete nothing. But not with Jana Wilson. She is wonderful! She is everything I thought therapy should be. I wished I had found her 20 years ago.

She is absolutely amazing! I have had good therapists before but she is above and beyond! I’ve never felt more heard and seen before than I do while we are having a session. I get the reassurance that I need and also the guidance that I need in order to reach my therapy goals! She’s ver professional AND compassionate! I couldn’t ask for a better mentor, counselor, or therapist!! She feels like that one auntie that you just vent to cause the rest of the family is too dysfunctional to talk to haha

Jana was always super observant and thoughtful during our sessions, in a way that made me feel really safe. I appreciated how she always reminded me to look for the why behind my behaviors. It was so validating to bypass the shame that I would feel about the behaviors I was trying to change with a simple question during our sessions.

So happy to have found Jana to help me navigate the recent loss
of my husband. Jana has a warm demeanor and is very easy
to talk to. She listens attentively and offers helpful insight with
my concerns and feelings. I have every confidence in her abilities to
guide me through the grief process. I would highly recommend her to anyone
that is dealing a loss of a loved one.

Written on Feb 08, 2023 after therapy with Jana for 2 weeks on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues, self esteem, and adhd

In just the three short weeks I have been seeing Jana she has helped me formulate a plan for my mental health to improve, she has given me countless resources and worksheets. She has already helped me so much! Instead of dreading my counseling sessions (which I did from a previous counselor/therapist I had outside of teen counseling) I look forward to our discussions and her unwavering guidance through the really tough things.

Written on Jan 25, 2023 after therapy with Jana for 1 month on issues concerning relationship

Jana, is fantastic. The wife and I really look forward to the sessions and already have learnt so much about each other and our relationship. Highly recommend Jana and teencounseling.com.

I have had two sessions with Dr. Wilson so far and after each one I have come away feeling very fed from the experience. Dr Wilson is attentive and helpful and provides me the space I need to grow. I look forward to every session, even during the hard questions I have to face about myself. Dr Wilson is very valuable

In the incoming patient documents given by teen counseling that asks you to describe why you want therapy, I basically poured my heart out. Wrote paragraphs and paragraphs of very specific scenarios and personal circumstances that made me wonder if I was scaring potential therapists away. Jana's been wonderful and seems perfectly suited for the exact situation I find myself in, dealing with long-term mourning, feelings of social isolation, and fallout from religious-related upset in my life. She's been great and I would absolutely recommend her.

Written on Oct 24, 2022 after therapy with Jana for 3 weeks on issues concerning relationship

I truly believe that she is a God send.. We still have a ways to go but my spouse and I communicate better than we ever have. I feel she truly has a heart to serve

A great experience

Written on Jul 01, 2022 after therapy with Jana for 1 month on issues concerning stress, anxiety, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, sleeping disorders, and adhd

I didn't know what to expect with teencounseling.com when I joined the platform and was scared that I might not be able to be helped at all but Jana is amazing. She listens well and really cares about what I shared with her and remembered it. All the worksheets I got were beneficial and she always got back to me quickly if I messaged her outside our session times. I understand myself better now and though putting these new practices into reality is hard I know how to change my beliefs and more importantly, I know that I can. I can't thank her enough for all of her help.

Written on Dec 23, 2021 after therapy with Jana for 1 month on issues concerning stress, anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, self esteem, compassion fatigue, and adhd

Jana has already helped me understand myself and my relationship with myself better after only a few sessions. She’s very easy to talk to and really listens to what I’m saying as well as not saying. I love that I’m getting real life solutions to issues and that I’m encouraged through our sessions and at home work to start building up those skills. There’s a lot she already understands about me (female and ethnic) I don’t have to explain because she already “gets it”. It’s such a relief to finally have someone that sees me for me.

Work with me!
