What some of my clients say...

I am a psychotherapist working with clients on a range of mental health challenges. I reached out to Janis for support with complex, non-traditional issues that conventional approaches often struggle to address. In today’s world, I feel increasingly limited in my capacity to navigate the monumental shifts shaping our collective experience. It seems as though we are undergoing a profound paradigm shift—one that is shaking us at an ontological level and redefining our very sense of being.

Janis has been invaluable in helping me acknowledge and sit with these challenges, offering support as I find my own ways to navigate the relentless pace of change. She is both kind and brilliant, and I would highly recommend her to anyone grappling with emerging life challenges.

I initially met with Janis during the Sol Foundation conference in San Francisco because I knew she was a founding member of The Visible College. My interests in the psychological and spiritual aspects of anomalous experience seemed to coincide with hers and with the College. Only then did I learn about her decades of psychological research at Cornell University, as well as her decades of study and practice in Vedic spiritual traditions. An enormously impressive pedigree, it provided context for me as to the veracity, insight, and wisdom of her perspectives.

Throughout our conversations, Janis has opened me up to greater perspectives in life, both inside myself and outside in the broader world. Her brilliant, engaging, and compassionate personality creates free flowing conversations and does a great job at broadening my entrenched narrow-mindedness. Opening to possibilities and the magic in life feels natural when talking with Janis; just the kind of support needed when needing support in moving to the next level.

I came to Janis at a time when my life was feeling overwhelming, with multiple challenges and deep changes. Feeling paralyzed in the midst of this transition, I needed someone who could understand the stakes, appreciate the need to find a new approach, and help me tap into my strengths to achieve new goals. 

Janis has walked the hard paths of life herself, learned how to successfully navigate the tricky times, and knows firsthand how to discover and refine what really works. After our meetings, I feel calmed, centered, and energized with new confidence. Applying the insights gained from our discussions has gotten me through the hardest part of this process. Now I know I can count on her for accountability as I build on a new foundation, and I feel freshly able to appreciate all the joy life has to offer.

Dr. Whitlock has helped me immensely in identifying triggers that lead to negative thought patterns that affect my everyday emotional state. She has also helped me immensely in maintaining my center and remaining present in the moment. I truly can’t ever repay her care and patience.

Janis brings both the authenticity of someone who has been on her spiritual path for a long time and the credibility of a research scientist to this moment - a combination that instills confidence and trust. She’s brings a wealth of information and insight and is wonderful to learn from.
