Dr. Jeanette Balfe-Groh, PsyD, LP - Clinical Director
I've had wonderful opportunities to receive training and to provide therapy, assessments, testing, and supervision in a number of different settings including state and private hospitals, residential programs, chemical dependency centers mental health clinics and private practice centers. I have worked with clients from ages five through elderly and from a wide range of socio-economic, cultural-ethnic, sexual-orientation, family compositions, and religious/spiritual beliefs. I use an integrative theoretical approach emphasizing humanistic, cognitive-behavioral, experiential, DBT, and psychodynamic conceptualization and interventions.
Specialties include: Assessment, Testing, and reporting for psychological, cognitive, chemical health & addiction (Rule 25) evaluations, courted ordered evaluations (psychological and parenting), and HPSP evaluations and supervision. I also provide therapy for a wide range of mental health problems and life issues: I am experienced in working with mood and anxiety disorders, grief and loss, SPMI, addiction, PTSD, trauma, abuse (sexual, physical, emotional), anger management, life span issues, uncoupling, women’s issues, adoption, career and work issues.

"Hello, my name is Fue Vang. I am a first generation, cis-male, bilingual, Hmong-American. I would like to first off applaud your strength, courage, and resilience that brought you here. I currently hold a Master’s Degree in Clinical Counseling with an emphasis on Substance Use Disorders. I am licensed as a Drug and Alcohol Counselor.
Although I have a Clinical Psychology degree with an emphasis on Substance Use Disorders and Co-Ocurring disorders, over the years I have gained experiences working with (but not limited to); individuals that struggle with depression, trauma, SPMI, anxiety, family conflict, grief, abuse, adjustment, substance use, acculturation, cultural difficulties, aging, elderly, relational conflicts and societal conflicts. I have worked in the mental health field for over 12 years.
My approach to therapy is an eclectic approach. This approach is an integrative approach that adapts to you and your specific needs. I utilize different techniques from different modalities of therapy and these include but are not limited to; strength-based therapy, person-centered, solution focused, CBT, narrative therapy, mindfulness, evidence based practices (and practice based evidence) and multicultural.
As a father of 4 young daughters, I also have a very personal commitment to understanding children and acknowledging the difficulties in navigating children's mental health. Childrens' overall health is directly correlated to their mental health. One of my graduate college professors once described to me the importance of early intervention and understanding of our young children, and I really do believe it.
Every individual is unique and special in their own way. My goals are to create a safe environment where you can reflect, be yourself, be open, be heard, be understood, and create a therapeutic partnership. Healing can be an incredibly difficult but sacred journey, and I thank you and am honored for the opportunity to be alongside you."
