Today we’d like to introduce you to Janeisha Anderson.
Thanks for sharing your story with us Janeisha. So, let’s start at the beginning and we can move on from there.
I always knew I wanted to help others and be my own boss one day. Well, it all started with a little ambition and a passion for helping people to be their best selves. I was always the one that friends and family relied on for advice, especially relationship advice. When others were down I provided motivation. Fast forward about 10 or so years.
When I knew I was destined to be a psychotherapist, I decided to take the initiative and pursue a masters program in Florida. My hope was to enroll in a masters program that also had a great doctoral program that I could apply for. Well, I believe that God will lead us to where we need to be…little did I know that my master’s program would help me to grow into the person I am today and help me to fine tune my therapeutic and spiritual skills. While in the master’s program I learned a lot about what it meant to be a great psychotherapist and how to use my full self and experience along with techniques in the field of marriage and family therapy to help families and young adults. In that master’s program, I became closer to the Lord and also realized that although I wanted badly to stay in Florida that it was my time to move back home to Texas.
When I came back home, I didn’t’ stop pursuing my dream of enrolling into a doctoral program to study and research the field of family therapy and relationships as a whole.
Well, all of my hard work paid off because I was accepted into a doctoral program for marriage and family therapy. Here is where I began to consider what will I do after I graduate from my doctoral program.
Fast forward a few years. Being new in the field of psychotherapy was a struggle. I spent hopeful nights accruing clinical hours in hospital settings and other organizations in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. While at a specific behavioral health hospital something dawned on me…I want able to be my best self and provide my clients with a variety of tools needed to succeed in life and manage mental, physical and spiritual health. That’s when I decided to open Discovering Bliss Counseling.
At Discovering Bliss Counseling, we strive to help others and encourage them on a wholesome journey in discovering their full potential. Our logo is actually ” A Wholesome Journey in Discovering You”. The startup of a private practice was somewhat difficult. Looking for an office space, creating a budget and business plan was all something that I had experience in but never did I put as much thought into how every decision I make influence the business as a whole.
Today, I like to believe that Discovering Bliss Counseling is one of the most popular and relied upon counseling, coaching, and consultation services in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex. We pride ourselves on providing great service and continue to sharpen our psychotherapy skills to provide the most innovative and diverse treatment for our clients who are seeking dating coaching, health, and wellness coaching or simply counseling.
Has it been a smooth road?
The road to being a successful private practice business owner has been amazing, but it has had its trying times. Initially, when I first opened Discovering Bliss Counseling, there were challenges such as registering the business with the state, how to maintain income, and have low overhead…you know, typical business decisions. After I was determined to make the practice successful the road became a little bit easier to walk on.
There weren’t cracks in it anymore…the pavement was smooth. After some trial and error though I felt that I had a decent handle on being a business owner again and was able to manage pertinent aspects of the business.
So, as you know, we’re impressed with Discovering Bliss Counseling – tell our readers more, for example what you’re most proud of as a company and what sets you apart from others.
Discovering Bliss Counseling’s primary goal is to join in a “Wholesome Journey in Discovering You”. With that being said, we are not just psychotherapists, but we’re your friends, your counselors, and the one person that can listen to you without judgment. At Discovering Bliss Counseling, we have worked with a variety of clients from the age of 4 to 65+ years of age. Not only do we pride ourselves on being diverse, but we also pride ourselves on continually educating ourselves to ensure we’re on top of our skills and is providing clients with the newest and most innovative therapies and spiritual guidance.
We have seen clients who have suicidal ideations are depressed, anxious, struggling with life’s transitions. We encourage clients to find the best fit for them as we provide group therapy at a very affordable and cost-effective rate, we have Groupon deals, Yelp offers, as well as insurance options, and sliding scale options. Not only are we counselors, but others have just needed a little bit of dating or lifestyle coaching. And has elicited our services for dating coaching, lifestyle coaching, health and wellness coaching, consultation and speaking engagements. Not to mention, we also offer concierge therapy for those individuals who would like to try therapy at their designated and agreed upon therapeutic space.
As the founder of Discovering Bliss Counseling, I too provide psychotherapy and dating and lifestyle coaching consultations as well as group therapy. I am very hands on in a sense that I like to be most helpful in assisting clients in their journey. I always believe that building rapport with clients is most important I often provide check-in calls to clients to ensure that they are still living blissfully.
We specialize in psychotherapy for families, children, adolescents, adults, individuals and especially females; as well as coaching, and consulting; but I believe we are most known for our great rapport, or uplifting encouragement and of course our logo, “A Wholesome Journey in Discovering You.” Clients often report that they want to feel bliss again and I wholeheartedly believe that Discovering Bliss Counseling provides hope for our clients.
As a company, we’re most proud of being a place of reference for individuals in the community.
Clients don’t just call upon Discovering Bliss Counseling because they need therapy. They call us when they need help with finding all types of resources, such as housing, mental health, physical health, spiritual health, dieting, and exercising, school resources for elementary, middle school, high school as well as college. And what sets us apart from others businesses and specifically other mental health private practices is that we take a holistic approach to helping others. We meet others where they’re at and make them feel at home like they can kick their feet up with us, get comfortable and be at their most vulnerable state that allows them to let loose and thinking more productive about their life circumstances. Funny, because we’ve actually had a few people lay on the couch during sessions or go as far as take their shoes off and kicked their feet up to get comfortable.
Let’s touch on your thoughts about our city – what do you like the most and least?
What we love the most about Mansfield is that there is so much culture in the city. Not only is there so much culture, but it’s also family oriented and is nestled between two family oriented cities, Fort Worth and Arlington. Not to mention that it’s literally a hop, skip and a jump from the heart of Dallas.
