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 have been working closely with Suzanne Jones for the last six years. She has a blend of both counseling (as an LPC) and medical experience that is unique and exceptional. She is my "go to" Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner when I feel that medication would help one of my clients. Unlike many in the medical field, Suzanne's interest is not just in making a patient "feel better, " but in helping them to experience a full, productive, and enjoyable life.
I depend on Suzanne as both a colleague in the counseling field and as resource in the medical field. She has helped dozens of my clients when talk therapy or EMDR was not sufficient and mediation was required or at least helpful in the short-term. Steve Fox BChE, MA, LPC, NCC

Dr. Fargason has been treating our family for over sixteen years through some of the most extremely difficult times we have ever experienced. This is a testament of the compassion and commitment of Dr. Fargason and her staff to go to any depths to heal not only our mental health, but also the human spirit of our family. Family Focus has guided use on a path that is in harmony with eternal well-being. We are forever grateful for this Godsend.
