Janel Adams
Welcome friend, I’m so glad you’re here! My goal is to help people reconnect with themselves, find peace, and live more authentically. Many of the people I work with struggle with people-pleasing, self-doubt, or codependency, and struggle with self-worth. They’ve spent so much time trying to make others happy or seeking approval that they’ve lost touch with their own needs and worth. Sometimes they even wonder if they’re “enough” or if they’re a good person. If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone and you don’t have to stay stuck in those patterns. Together, we’ll explore what’s underneath the anxiety, guilt, or heaviness you’ve been carrying. We’ll work on healing the roots of those struggles so you can start caring for yourself, setting boundaries, and believe that you are enough, just as you are. This is a space for growth, healing, and self-compassion. You deserve to live your best life. With over a decade of experience, including work with trauma survivors, I bring both compassion and honesty into the therapy room. My approach is about helping you untangle the weight of old patterns so you can start showing up authentically, without judgment, and begin to see your own value.
Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
In our first session, we’ll talk about what brings you to therapy and what you’d like to work on, at a pace that feels right for you. My goal is for you to feel comfortable, understood, and confident that this is a safe space for you to be yourself.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
My greatest strength is helping people see the patterns that hold them back, like perfectionism or people-pleasing, and empowering them to step into a more authentic version of themselves.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
My ideal client is someone who’s exhausted from always trying to be “enough” for everyone else. They might look like they have it together on the outside, but inside they’re constantly questioning their worth, second-guessing themselves, or bending over backwards to keep the peace. They may struggle with codependency, perfectionism, or people-pleasing, and they’re ready to start untangling those old patterns. They’re not looking for a quick fix—they want a safe place to unpack their story, to laugh sometimes in the middle of the hard stuff, and to finally learn how to value themselves without needing constant validation from others. My favorite clients are the ones willing to show up as they are (even if that means unsure, messy, or guarded at first) and are open to the idea that healing doesn’t have to feel so lonely.

My treatment methods
EMDR
I am trained in EMDR and use it as a trauma-focused intervention to help clients process distressing experiences in a safe, structured way. I integrate EMDR with grounding and other therapeutic strategies and have seen it reduce reactivity, shift negative beliefs, and promote resilience in clients healing from trauma.
Trauma-Focused CBT
TF-CBT is used with children to help them process and cope with negative experiences and negative emotions. This approach provides children and their caregivers with psychoeducation around trauma, the connection between our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and healthy coping strategies.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use CBT to help clients identify challenges and unhelpful thought patterns, build healthier coping skills, and make meaningful changes in behavior and emotional well-being.
Narrative
Through Narrative Therapy, I support clients in exploring the stories they tell about themselves, separating problems from identity, and creating new, empowering narratives that align with their values and goals.

Her picture reminds me of my daughter and it gave me the push I needed to finally reach out. She has a very pleasant tone that allowed me to feel comfortable talking to her.
