About Jeana Spencer-Rooks

As a licensed therapist in Michigan, I bring over two decades of compassionate, client-centered mental health experience. My practice is deeply rooted in understanding the complex emotional landscapes individuals navigate, with specialized expertise in addressing relationships (all types) depression, anxiety, stress, grief, ADHD and self-esteem challenges.

I offer a supportive, inclusive approach that honors each person’s unique journey. My work spans diverse focus areas including life transitions, relationship dynamics, multicultural concerns, workplace challenges, and personal growth. Whether you’re struggling with social anxiety, seeking deeper self-understanding, or working through significant life changes, I’m committed to providing thoughtful, empathetic guidance.

My therapeutic approach is holistic and adaptive, recognizing that healing looks different for everyone. I strive to create a welcoming space where individuals from all backgrounds can explore their experiences, develop resilience, and move toward meaningful personal transformation.

Within a few sessions we were able to clear through some of the "clutter," and start navigating the behaviours and things that no longer serve me moving forward. She doesn't force you down the path, but she'll call you out if your mind or mouth starts to wander, haha.<br /> Thank you!”
