I believe that every person has a natural drive towards growth and healing. It's what brought you to this page! I’m passionate about helping people to understand their emotions and reconnect with and trust their bodies again. I believe that emotions are this incredible built-in compass to help us navigate life in a way that is meaningful and in alignment with our truest selves. However, we have learned to disconnect from our emotions due to trauma, various cultural and familial messages around emotions, and because some emotions are too overwhelming to do alone so we disconnect to survive. Wherever you are at, there is hope.

Conversations with your partner feel like navigating a minefield, and those past traumas? They've set up camp in your mind and body. Despite trying talk therapy, you still feel stuck, anxious, and sometimes, hopeless. The shadows of depression and anxiety loom large. You may be yearning for genuine change and a way to break free from these burdens, but are unsure of the next step.

Welcome. My name is Dr. Janna Broxson, and I am the owner and founder of A Pathway Forward to Wellbeing, LLC. I am a Doctor of Behavioral Health (DBH) and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). I am licensed in Arizona and provide counseling services via teletherapy. I believe that resilience comes from a balance between compassion and self-compassion. Daily tasks and life-related demands often create an imbalance between these essential factors. This can cause us to get all tangled up in unhelpful thoughts, scary emotions, and unwanted behaviors.
