Growing up, Jill Janecke lived on a farm in rural Minnesota. She graduated from South Dakota State University in 2005 with a Masters of Science in Counseling. Since then, she has been working with children, teenagers, adults, couples, and families. She has had a private practice since April 2009. Jill moved to Pierre and opened her private practice there in January 2013. In 2019, she was blessed with the opportunity and dream to bring more quality clinicians to her practice. In 2020, she expanded her dream to bring quality care to other rural areas throughout South Dakota for people to have access to mental health care.
Jill's theoretical approach is solution focused, client centered, family systems, energy psychology, and cognitive-behavioral therapy. She is EMDR certified, which has changed the dynamic of her therapy. She has been blessed to witness changes with children and adults through this technique – it has been life changing!
In her personal life, Jill enjoys spending time with her family and friends. She also enjoys mindlessness in nature, reading, boating, and relaxing with her husband and children. She moved to the beautiful Pierre area in December 2012 and has been very excited to be a part of such a welcoming community.
