Family Focus

We were referred to one of the Dr’s at Family Focus when my son went to college. Fortunately, the Dr. we were referred too was no longer taking patients, but Janell Soileau was. I can honestly say That was the best thing that ever happened. Janell has been a Godsend to my family. I have never had such a positive experience with a Therapist/Dr, who I trust 100% with my child’s health. She truly has a gift and honestly cares about her patients. I can’t say enough good things about her. So happy we found her!

I can speak about Family Focus from two vantage points-parent of a patient and as a therapist in Baton Rouge who routinely refers clients to Family Focus. First is that of a parent, as one of my grown kids was seen by Rhonda Browning. I chose Rhonda b/c she was so highly recommended as an excellent clinician to help my daughter manage her meds. Rhonda was amazing. And the medicine piece was tricky. She advised my daughter as she needed to be advised. The other way that I can review FF is as a therapist in the community. I went to Graduate School with Suzanne Jones. I’ve know her as a student counselor in training then as a counselor intern then as a fully licensed professional counselor and now as a psychiatric nurse practitioner. Every single step of the way, Suzanne has combined her keen intellect with practical wisdom she just has. You put Suzanne in a room full of people and before long a group will be listening to her b/c she’s knowledgeable, practical and compelling. Before her life as a therapist and NP, she was/is a Mom to 5 kids! They broke her in well to give her that practical wisdom!!! My selling point to my clients for Suzanne is that she’s is the only one in town who is a therapist and knows the medications b/c of her NP training. So she will not push meds. She values counseling b/c part of her brain is a therapist. But she also knows when the meds are needed and so helpful. She’s a consummate professional and Baton Rouge is fortunate to have her. I hope this review doesn’t make her too widely popular! I need space for my clients who need medication!!!
