Dr. Jane Warren is a fully licensed Clinical Psychologist with a Ph.D. and over 20 years of experience in the private practice of psychodynamic psychotherapy in Ann Arbor. She believes that no single theory or method fits everyone, given the complexity and uniqueness of individuals. Her approach is customized to meet the specific needs and goals of her clients, with a focus on addressing root causes rather than merely treating symptoms. These root causes can emerge not only through memories and dreams but also within current relationships, including the therapeutic relationship where they can be addressed and resolved in the present moment. For biologically based disorders such as panic disorder and certain types of depression, Dr. Warren’s findings and ongoing research suggest that a dual approach involving both psychotherapy and medication is most effective. In situations where it is beneficial, she collaborates closely with her MD colleagues for any necessary medication prescriptions, while she solely provides psychotherapy. Additionally, she has a particular interest in trauma, encompassing both adult onset trauma and the experiences of adult survivors of child abuse. As a faculty member of the University of Michigan Department of Psychiatry, she supervises the clinical work of psychiatry residents, as well as graduate trainees in Psychology and Social Work.
