Jan Hood, LCMHC

About Jan

Jan Hood is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor at Olive Tree Family Practice, with a career that has taken her through public agencies, public mental health settings, and private practice. Her earlier years were largely focused on child therapy and helping families navigate available services. Over time her focus shifted, and she now works exclusively with adults, particularly those dealing with trauma and trauma-related reactions.

That shift wasn't accidental. Years of trauma work led her deeper into grief, anxiety, and depression, and she's found that underneath most of what brings people into therapy is a core question about how to cope with stress. Her approach is built around giving clients practical grounding tools they can actually use, not just insight but a real toolbox for getting through hard moments.

Her Approach

Jan is straightforward about who she is in the room: down to earth, compassionate, honest, and direct. She believes the foundation of good therapy is a relationship built on trust and mutual respect, and she focuses on establishing that before anything else. If you're looking for someone who will tell you the truth and work hard alongside you, Jan is a good fit.
