Introduction

I am Jo Varney, LMHC, and providing therapy has been a passion of mine for more than 35 years. I enjoy meeting new people and reaching out. However, I know that I get a great deal in return because the people I meet in sessions always teach me new ways of living in the world. 

My varied experience has included inpatient and outpatient settings in mental health agencies and in private practices. I am experienced in working with children, adolescents, and adults who are experiencing relationship issues, family difficulties, stress and separation. I have also assisted clients with parenting issues and other family concerns. I can help parents gain an increase in skills with which to help their children manage their behavior. Adults and children will learn to improve communication, resolve conflicts and enhance mutual respect. These same skills can be used by indiviudals and adolescents. 

I work with people of all ages who are experiencing relationship issues, work stress, grief, depression, self concept issues, adjustment concerns, behavioral problems, anger, anxiety, and situational stress. I look forward to assisting you in this stepping stone in your journey.
