Hey there! My name is Janay, and I am thrilled to embark on this journey with you. Allow me to share a bit about myself— I am a Licensed Professional Counselor I graduated from the esteemed Howard University with a Bachelor of Science in Psychology, where I refined my understanding of the complexities of human behavior. Subsequently, I pursued a Master's in Professional Counseling, deepening my knowledge and expertise in mental health and counseling. I have always enjoyed learning about the complexities of the mind and human life. Proudly, I am a member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Inc., an organization that underscores the importance of community involvement, sisterhood and scholarship. My goal is to help you become the best version of yourself, no matter where you are in your journey. Whether you need a compassionate listener or someone to guide you toward the person you want to be, I’m here to support you. I use a blend of therapeutic approaches, including CBT, Trauma-Focused Therapy, DBT, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy to provide personalized care that fits your needs. For couples, I offer Couples Counseling to help build stronger, more fulfilling relationships.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In your first session, we’ll focus on getting to know each other and creating a comfortable, safe space for you to share what brings you to therapy. I’ll ask questions to better understand your background, current challenges, and what you’re hoping to achieve in our work together. It’s also a chance for you to ask any questions about the therapy process, and together we’ll begin to outline a plan that feels right for you. My goal is to make sure you leave feeling heard, supported, and empowered to move forward with clarity and confidence. This session is the first step in building a collaborative partnership where we focus on your goals and growth.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I am deeply committed to helping my clients grow and thrive, and I dedicate myself fully to each person’s journey. With empathy, I provide a compassionate and non-judgmental space, allowing you to feel heard and supported. My understanding of the complexities of life enables me to meet you where you are, offering guidance that is both practical and sensitive to your unique experiences.
