LPC, 12 years of experience
Hello! I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia, and I bring over 14 years of experience helping individuals, families, couples, and teens navigate life’s challenges and mental health concerns. I hold a Master’s Degree from Purdue University and a PhD in Criminal Justice from Colorado Technical University, a unique combination that allows me to bring both clinical insight and a deep understanding of complex social and behavioral systems into the therapy space. In my practice, I work with clients facing a wide range of issues including anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, and life transitions. Whether you’re seeking support as an individual, part of a couple, or a family unit, I tailor each session to meet your specific needs. I’m trained in multiple therapeutic approaches and emphasize a collaborative, client-centered process that prioritizes your pace, your voice, and your goals. Clients often describe me as warm, compassionate, and easy to talk to. I create a nonjudgmental, welcoming space where you can feel safe exploring thoughts and emotions, even the difficult ones. Together, we’ll uncover what’s holding you back, identify your strengths, and develop a personalized treatment plan designed to promote healing and long-term growth. I believe that meaningful change is possible, and that therapy can be a powerful step toward a more balanced, fulfilling life. Let's work together to ensure your mental health needs are meet effectively.
During the initial session, I will provide a brief introduction to therapy and inquire about your history of participating in therapy and discuss the particular issue(s) that have motivated you to seek therapy. We will also work to identify your goals and develop a treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.
One of my greatest strengths as a psychotherapist lies in my ability to provide a patient, compassionate, and non-judgmental space where clients feel safe being themselves. I welcome all concerns without bias, offering support that meets clients exactly where they are. I value the trust-building process and never rush it , instead, I create a space where clients can open up at their own pace. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, trauma, relationship issues, or personal growth, my goal is to help you feel heard, respected, and empowered every step of the way.
I specialize in working with adult clients who are navigating complex emotions, past and present trauma, and life transitions. Some individuals come to therapy ready to open up and process deeply personal experiences, while others may feel hesitant or unsure where to begin, both are welcome here. I understand that healing takes time, and I am committed to moving at a pace that feels safe and comfortable for you. Whether you’re unpacking old wounds or exploring current stressors, my role is to walk alongside you with compassion and clinical support. Therapy is a collaborative process, and together we will build a relationship grounded in trust, respect, and shared goals. No matter where you are on your journey, I’m here to help you make sense of your experiences and move forward with clarity and confidence.
According to cognitive behavioral therapy, negative ideas and feelings can keep you stuck in a vicious cycle. It is also believed that your thoughts, feelings, physical sensations, and behaviors are all connected. I've used this therapeutic approach throughout my career with patients who have a wide range of disorders. When we work together utilizing this method, the overall goal will be to dissect your large problems and re-shape them into manageable pieces so that you can approach them in a more constructive manner.

I adore my therapist! Janice really takes the time to get to know you and listen to you. I feel better about my outlook in life after my sessions with her.
