Dr. Jane Toler, LPC-S

Staff Therapist

Philosophy

Everyone experiences ups and downs in life. These challenges arise from many life situations. This is normal, and in working through these rough patches, we learn to become healthy, resilient, productive, independent adults. My goal for therapy is to work with you in discovering your personal strengths and how to build on them so that you can have meaningful, satisfying relationships and regain your enthusiasm for life.
