Janine Piernas LMFT, Marriage Counseling in Temecula, CA
Revitalize Your Love, Restore Your Connection: Your Journey to Deeper Intimacy Begins Here…
If you feel confused, depressed, stressed, overwhelmed, anxious, or have difficulty coping with life events, relationships, and work,
I’m here to help.
My name is Janine Piernas, and I’m a licensed marriage and family therapist in Temecula, CA.
I work with couples and individuals, who are struggling with anxiety, depression, and relationships.
Life can be challenging, and there are many ways that therapy can help.
I provide individual and couples therapy to people, just like you, who are dealing with mental health and life challenges.
Couples Counseling in Temecula, CA and Murrieta, CA
Are you in a relationship where the fights don’t seem to end?
Do you know that you and your partner need a change and want to avoid divorce?
Are you feeling lost and alone in the relationship?
Do you and your partner struggle to communicate?
I help couples who are tired of fighting, but know that they do not want to divorce. In couples counseling, we’ll build trust, repair resentments, and explore patterns of behavior that no longer serve you or your relationship. If it seems like you’ve tried everything on your own and nothing is working, it’s probably time to see a therapist. I’m a therapist who can help guide you and your partner towards healing.
In couples counseling in Temecula, CA, I can help improve your quality of life and provide you and your partner the tools and strategies you need to help save your relationship. Therapy isn’t always easy. I’ll be honest and straightforward with you – I’ll dig in and ask the hard questions that are necessary to help you and your partner communicate and grow as a couple.
Many of my clients go through difficulties in their relationships that include:
Feeling sexually frustrated
Not being on the same page about how often they have sex
Struggling with general physical intimacy
Feeling as if the other partner isn’t interested
Fighting all the time
Feeling alone in the relationship
Feeling tired from arguing
Feeling unable to communicate, even about small things
Struggling to manage the relationship after having a child
Struggling to find ways to earn back each other’s trust
If you and your partner are new parents, you might struggle with managing responsibilities in the home. It can feel like one partner is doing all the work and the other partner doesn’t know how to help. You might struggle to manage a relationship that feels uneven – maybe one partner is more attentive to the child while the other feels neglected.
In couples counseling, I often work with men in relationships who struggle to identify their feelings. They can’t verbalize where their frustration is coming from. The other partner might have a difficult time getting him to listen or communicate, so both partners end up feeling exhausted from having the same arguments over and over.
I am a Temecula therapist here for you and your partner to help you work through your relationship challenges. Together we’ll get to the root of the problem and find ways to mend your relationship and get you to the point where you feel love and trust again.
If you want to begin your journey towards a loving, communicative relationship, schedule with me today for a free 15-minute consultation.
Temecula Therapy and Counseling in Murrieta for Individuals
Aside from being a couples therapist in Temecula, I also provide individual therapy for women managing depression and anxiety. I work with a lot of moms trying to balance work and home life as well as expectations from their spouses.
If you’re tired of being tired, that means that something has to change. Maybe you feel pulled in many different directions. Perhaps you see other women “handling it all” and you don’t know how they’re getting it all done. This could make you feel inadequate.
I’m here to help you navigate these murky waters of being a wife, a mother, and a woman who has her own life aside from home and work.
Often the women I work with deal with similar issues that include:
Feeling romantically unfulfilled
Feeling like their spouse doesn’t listen
Not having energy, time, or a desire to have sex
Struggling with body image
Managing confidence and self-esteem, particularly after having a baby
Worrying that their partner isn’t attracted to them anymore
If you live in the area and can relate to any or all of the above, a Temecula therapist who works with women with these particular challenges, like me, could be a great therapeutic fit.
Individual Therapy Services for Women Temecula, CA
I work with women who feel like people will judge them, who feel like they’re competing with those “Pinterest moms” out there, and who struggle with mom guilt.
When you go through a major life change, like having a child, you might begin to feel undervalued at home. Maybe you feel that you have to be responsible for everything and that your partner isn’t helping. You need help figuring out how to balance all the different roles you have to fulfill. That’s what I’m here for, to help you navigate life as a woman pulled in many different directions.
If you’re ready to take steps towards overcoming stress, overwhelm, and the challenges you face as a woman in individual Temecula therapy, schedule a free consultation with me today.
