Welcome to the Empowered Life
I offer in person appointments at my highly ventilated office
on SUNDAYS only
for Biofeedback and Counselling appointments.
Please see my "Covid Safety" page (link on left or drop down menu on mobile)
for details about my risk mitigation protocols.
I offer online counselling or "teletherapy" during the week, M - Th pm's.
As a Registered Clinical Counsellor and Biofeedback Specialist, I can help you better cope with a range of psychological, emotional and physical issues. I draw from a wide spectrum of therapeutic modalities to allow you to reach a higher level of personal empowerment. I believe there is always hope for any problem, no matter how longstanding or complex.
My practice areas focus on anxiety and panic attacks, addiction/recovery,
sleep problems, disability or chronic illness issues, chronic pain of any kind: headaches, nerve and muscle pain, or “psychosomatic” issues.
If you feel stress is aggravating any medical or psychological condition, then my evidence-based biofeedback and counselling approach has real potential to provide at least some degree of relief. If you are looking for "breathing retraining", you are in the right place!
I combine elements of different trauma therapy techniques to suit the individual needs of
each client and I have advanced training for panic attacks, using a combination of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), somatic psychology and physiological techniques.
I offer a polyvagal informed approach to anxiety and depression, for those
interested in the work of Dr. Steve Porges, PhD.

What medical professionals say about my work:
"My client who worked with Janette for approximately 4 months spoke very highly of Janette and the sessions she provided. Janette helped my client accept her new identity and abilities (e.g., diagnosed with fibromyalgia and chronic pain), and now my client is very motivated to reclaim her life back (e.g., after 2 — 3 years of being absent from work, my client just returned to back to her job!).”

"Ms. Sperber's methods have good efficacy, and she always has
very high patient satisfaction."
Dr. Thomas McClure, M.D.
Medical Director, Occupational Medicine Services

In the words of a former client:
-- I found Ms. Sperber to be wise, empathetic, and compassionate. I would highly recommend her services in approaching virtually any issue which requires
clarification and/or resolution.
