Hey There!

I’m Dr. Jerren Weekes-Kanu, affectionately called “J” or “Dr. J” by my clients. It is my duty as a Christian and psychologist to care about your wellness in a genuine way. Therapy doesn’t make sense if it doesn’t help you THRIVE. No more treading water in the difficult situations you find yourself in. Give me a call.

About ME

I am a fully licensed clinical psychologist and a Certified Sex Addiction Therapist certified through IIATP. I specialize in health, quality of life, and well-being and I apply my expertise to help clients move beyond their stressors to thrive. Some clients need help with personal wellness or coping with emotional distress, while others need help improving broken marriages or navigating through life transitions. I enjoy working with women struggling with their sexual health, partner betrayal, or love addiction. I also work with couples in recovery from sex addiction/infidelity to help them redefine their relationship and find health, during and post-discovery. I strive to be ever transparent, genuine, and compassionate to address the needs of my clients and I request that same attitude and demeanor from my clients.

I received my Masters and Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from the University of Cincinnati. I then completed an APA accredited internship through the Ann Arbor VA Medical Center AND an accredited fellowship through the University of Michigan/Ann Arbor VA Medical Center Consortium with an emphasis on Health/Women’s Health. I started my private practice years ago to have better work-life balance and more time at home with my four kids. Trained as a scientist-practitioner, I place great importance on staying informed of relevant empirical evidence, literature, and up-to-date practices in my field. I continue to complete continuing education workshops in the areas of, for example, Motivational Interviewing, Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction, Gottman Method Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy.

My Take

 People often have a unique, yet untapped, ability to rally their personal strengths and live a life of quality despite significant obstacles.  I help my clients understand and strengthen that ability every time we meet. I believe it is important to live our best lives now and I utilize evidence-based strategies to help my clients do just that. My services often have Bio-psychosocial, spiritual, Cognitive-Behavioral, and Mindfulness underpinnings, which I believe are important for achieving meaningful and lasting change.

I invite you to call me. Consultations are free and I'd love to work with you!

I work with clients regardless of their religious affiliation, sexual orientation, race/ethnicity, immigration status, nationality, etc. I have no tolerance for the perpetuation of racism or discrimination. While we must unfortunately deal with these issues in our society, my practice rejects those and espouses unity and commonality through universal human experiences and shared values.
