ABOUT
JoJo Rankin
Life can be incredibly difficult.
Regardless if you are facing marriage concerns, parent overwhelm, divorce, difficulty balancing work and life or just don’t feel like yourself I am here for you.
I will meet you where you are as a therapist and help you bridge the gaps of life.
As a previous nurse and foster mom of the past ten years, I understand how difficult life can be! With five adopted children and fostered 30 kids over the years, I often felt overwhelmed, discouraged and like I was failing as a mom.
I work with a variety of clients including individuals, couples, parents, youth and children.
Because we are all different, I mold therapy to fit you.
I am trained in multiple modalities, and work hard to make sure you are reaching your goals and needs of therapy.
FOR ADULTS:
I work with a variety of adults including overwhelmed moms, dads who feel like they work too much, couples who have a good relationship but want to make it better, college students, Women facing infertility and individuals who are trying to better their life and overcome stress, anxiety and overwhelm.
FOR YOUTH (AGES 8-18)
I help youth work through self-esteem challenges, bullying, sibling relationships, behavior modification and specialize in working with children and youth with AUTISM and A.D.H.D.
YOUTH GROUPS
I offer Youth Groups to help teens balance the challenges of life and cover a variety of topics including boosting self esteem, cultivating healthy friendships, overcoming anxiety and more.
I help parents and youth become a team and rebuild family connections.
I utilize art and sand therapy and have interactive activities during therapy to help the adolescent feel comfortable in sharing the challenges in their life.
FOR CHILDREN (Ages3-7)
I utilize Play Therapy as the primary modality when working with children ages 3-7.
I work one on one with children to help them work through challenging behaviors, difficult emotions, independence, and trauma. I offer parents proven tools to utilize at home to promote each child with a happy healthy childhood experience.
Specialties and Groups
As an Autism Specialist I help children and youth recognize autism as a superpower and plan to offer an “Autism is Awesome” Group in the fall for Pre-Teens and Teens.
I see children and youth with autism one on one and work through sensory and social emotional challenges.
I offer parent training to help families work through specific challenges of Autism.
For MOMS
Being a mom is very lonely. I have created a specialized group for moms to learn and grow together. “The Mom Squad” is a virtual group offered monthly. It is for moms who want to be the best mom they can be.
Regardless of what you’re facing, I will help you on the path to becoming YOU AGAIN and regain the peace in your life.
