Real Talk is a group practice focused on individual psychotherapy, with a humanized, culturally-sensitive approach to mental health care. We don't do tests or assessments. We talk. We firmly believe that talking is what widens our horizons, leads to new meanings, connects us, and sets us free. We talk because it heals and it makes us human.

I was saddened by something that happened today. I engaged a therapist to help with my marriage problems. I told her my wife also needed counseling if she knew of someone that could help. She said I can counsel you each independently but I cannot counsel you together as a couple. We finished our session and scheduled the next session.
Then my wife scheduled a session with the therapist for the following week. After engaging with my wife on her session, she also scheduled a follow up session with the same therapist. At this point I got a call from the office that there was a conflict of interest

Dr. Janelle Veenstra is a kind-hearted, warm, and knowledgeable psychologist. I appreciate her attunement to emotions and her ability to make you feel heard and validated. Her dedication to social justice is evident in her willingness to explore tough topics with grace, openness, and compassion. Her many years of experience and training show up in her ability to closely examine all factors that may be contributing to a person’s mental health and make an appropriate diagnosis and treatment plan. Most of all, I enjoy her welcoming and down-to-earth personality!

Dr. Adriane and I has been colleagues for several years now. I always appreciated her perspective and her approach to dealing with clients in their most vulnerable state. I've witnessed her advocate for clients, witnessed her create a nurturing environment for her clients; truly putting clients first. I've been honored to work with her in program development and was able to consult challenging client cases with her. Her easy going personality and expertise in psychology and psychoanalysis makes Dr. Adriane an awesome colleague and Psychologist!
