Heal, Grow, and Flourish
Life is complicated and full of challenges. If you are struggling with problems that threaten your sense of well-being, you owe it to yourself to learn how to be happier.
Hello! I'm Dr. Janelle Ettema

I am a fully licensed (Ph.D.) clinical psychologist and have been practicing in Howell for over 25 years. I work with individuals and couples anywhere in Michigan to help them overcome challenges such as anxiety, depression, chronic pain, and relationship issues. My goal is to empower you to lead your best life through personalized psychotherapy tailored to your unique needs. Therapy provides a safe and supportive environment where you can explore your feelings and behaviors and make positive changes. Our sessions can either be remote (video or telephone) or in-person at my private office in Howell to ensure the highest level of confidentiality.
How I Can Help

Explore the roots of depression, develop healthier thought patterns, and build effective coping strategies for lasting emotional relief and improved well-being.
Anxiety
Learn how to work with and manage anxiety so anxiety no longer manages you.
Relationships
Understand and improve patterns in your relationships, enhance communication skills, and build healthier, more fulfilling connections with others.
Chronic Pain
Reduce or even eliminate symptoms of chronic pain and other chronic symptoms (fatigue, gastrointestinal issues, dizziness, hives, etc.) to improve your quality of life.
End of Life
Manage emotions, find meaning, and experience greater peace and connection in a compassionate and supportive space.
