When you get to meet a legend🤩🤩 This summer our CEOJill was able to attend a community event hosted by the phenomenal Dawn Staley.

🌟Guess who just called us for pre-marital counseling?🌟 You might want to consider following their lead. Starting counseling before you are married is a predictor of a long and lasting relationship. Pre-marital counseling doesn’t mean you are struggling as a couple. It means you don’t want to! JSA is here and ready to help you on your relationship journey🩵

Welcome Our Two New Therapists! We’re thrilled to introduce two incredible additions to our team: Zoe Pournaras (1) and Cera Hansen (2) 🩵

Zoe Pournaras brings a bright energy and genuine enthusiasm to our team. 🌟

🧠 For the whole family: She has gained valuable experience working alongside some of our community’s most respected therapists, providing child and family therapy with care and insight. Zoe is especially passionate about helping parents and families identify blocks and uncover new ways to reconnect and strengthen their relationships.

📚 College students, we’re in session! Zoe offers a fresh, grounded perspective and truly understands the challenges of navigating life in today’s world. She’s a supportive, relatable presence and she would love to work with you.

Cera Hansen (pronounced like “Sarah”) is one of those rare people who immediately puts you at ease. With her quiet confidence and nonjudgmental presence, you just know it’s okay to be yourself around her and that’s incredibly important. 😌

🍎 Cera works with young children, school-aged kids, teens, and their families. She understands how much can come up during the fall: worries, stress, social challenges, and of course, the homework grind.

🏳️‍⚧️ She has a special interest in supporting kids who identify non-traditionally, neurodivergent youth, and those navigating trauma or grief.

📆 Cera has space in her schedule and would love to meet you. Come on in!

Mindful moments set the tone for an uplifting night of self-care, soulful conversations, and celebration of cancer survivors! 🌷
