Juanita Ratner, PhD, LPC

In our sessions, my focus is on understanding and supporting your unique journey.

My approach centers on being fully present with you, helping to understand the deeper patterns that you have developed and meanings that you have taken from your life experiences, and gently bring these into the light. Together, we’ll work on letting go of what no longer serves you and uncover more genuine, authentic ways to live.

​

I offer a relational and down-to-earth style that might feel different from traditional therapy. My informal, heartfelt approach is deeply rooted in care and empathy. I’m here to create a safe and welcoming space where you can share openly and honestly. I truly love what I do and am dedicated to walking alongside you in your journey.

​

With a rich tapestry of life experiences, I bring a perspective that fosters empathy and understanding. As an elder, my diverse background helps me engage with you in a meaningful way. Therapy, to me, is about infusing more life and authenticity into your everyday experiences.
