With over 40 years of experience as a clinical social worker, I hold a deep respect for the uniqueness of each person's story. My approach is grounded in psychodynamic theory, which means I work with you to explore how past experiences may be shaping your current thoughts, emotions, and relationships.
I offer a safe supportive virtual space for older teens and adults who are ready to reflect, grow, and move toward lasting change. Whether you're navigation anxiety, trauma, life transitions, or high-conflict relationship dynamics, I bring warmth, insight, and seasoned clinical skill to help you better understand yourself and create a more fulfilling life.
My name is Janet VanScoyk, I studied at the University of Wyoming where I graduated with my master's in social work. Soon after I graduated, we moved to Arizona, and I have been practicing in the Gila Valley for the past 10 years.
Hello and welcome to my site. I have been licensed as a social worker since 1995 when I obtained my undergrad degree in social work. Since that time I have been licensed at the independent clinical level after obtaining my MSW degree and have been in practice independently since 2011. I work with a variety of clients with different issues, but I focus on trauma and how traumatic situations and life experiences impact how people see the world.
Are you feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or empty or even struggling to get through the day? I am a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner (PMHNP-BC). I am a compassionate, understanding, and good listener. I help individuals navigate emotional struggles using a holistic and evidence-based approach to mental health care. I conduct psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and provide brief psychotherapy. I work with individuals of all ages who are struggling with conditions such as ADHD, anxiety, depression, insomnia, OCD, PTSD, bipolar disorder, Schizophrenia, and coping skills. I love to support you in your journey to better mental health.
I have been practicing for over 15 years with compassion/empathy guiding my efforts. I have extensive experience with 9 populations: Eating Disorders, Anxiety/Depression, Combat Vets, Geriatrics, Sex Offenders, Substance Use Disorder, Co-Occurring Disorders, Clinic environment, Women's issues.
