Therapeutic Family Consulting
Jennifer DeLeon Anderson, MA, LCDC, leads Janie’s Place Mental Health Primary Home with a compassionate, person-centered clinical approach. Her work focuses on providing therapeutic housing for women living with complex mental health conditions, co-occurring disorders, and life circumstances that require a structured and supportive environment for stabilization and healing.
Jennifer earned her Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from The Chicago School of Professional Psychology in Dallas. She also holds a Bachelor of Science in Rehabilitation Studies with a minor in Addiction Studies from the University of North Texas. Her academic training, and years of work in the recovery field, informs a clinical philosophy grounded in empathy, accountability, and respect for each person’s individual story.
Jennifer believes each woman arrives with a unique history shaped by trauma, family dynamics, grief, addiction, housing instability, and social pressures. Treatment begins with understanding the whole person rather than focusing only on symptoms. At Janie’s Place, women receive care within a structured therapeutic housing environment where compassion and clear boundaries support safety, stability, and personal growth.
Her approach focuses on helping residents develop insight into the underlying causes of emotional distress while strengthening coping skills, self-awareness, and personal responsibility. Jennifer believes meaningful recovery develops through exploration, therapeutic support, and consistent structure.
Through Janie’s Place, Jennifer supports women as they stabilize their mental health, rebuild confidence, and develop the foundation needed for long term recovery and independent living.
What is Therapeutic Family Consulting
Therapeutic Family Consulting
Therapeutic Family Consulting gives families a clear plan to respond to mental health and substance use challenges. You learn what to do, what to stop, and how to stay consistent.
At Janie’s Place, we work with families as an active part of the recovery process. When the family system shifts, outcomes improve.
What you gain
-
Clarity
You understand the diagnosis, behavior patterns, and what is driving the current cycle -
Structure
You set clear expectations in the home. You follow through with consistency -
Boundaries
You stop enabling patterns. You learn how to hold limits without guilt -
Communication skills
You speak in a direct, regulated way. You reduce conflict and escalation -
Crisis plan
You know how to respond to relapse, emotional instability, or unsafe behavior -
Ongoing guidance
You meet regularly with a clinician. You adjust your approach as your loved one progresses -
How this is different
This is not traditional family therapy. The focus stays on action and results.
-
You receive direct guidance
-
You leave each session with clear next steps
-
You build a plan that works outside the session, in real life situations
Who this helps
-
Families dealing with addiction or repeated relapse
-
Loved ones of individuals with complex mental health conditions
-
Parents or partners who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or reactive
-
Families preparing for or recovering from an intervention
-
Our approach
We take a trauma informed, solution focused approach. You learn how to support recovery while protecting your own stability. We help you move from reacting to leading.
When the family changes, the environment changes. That shift supports long term recovery and reintegration.
