My goal is to create a safe space where clients feel supported, valued, and truly heard.

Janae Gardner, LPCC

My counseling style is best described as warm, compassionate, non-judgmental, empathetic, and authentic. Clients can engage in a therapeutic environment that allows them to openly express and manage their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in a healthy manner. A collaborative and person-centered approach is utilized to meet the unique needs of each individual.

I enjoy working with teenagers (ages 12 and older), young adults, and adults. Therapeutic sessions may include elements of somatic (brain-body based) methods, mindfulness, coping skills, self-care techniques, expressive arts, bilateral music sounds, and guided meditation.

Janae did a wonderful job of balancing a gentle approach & delivering tough love. I have been struggling for years to find a good fit and am so thankful I finally found the perfect therapist for me :)
Janae is down to earth, genuine, and grounding. I’ve worked with her for 3 years! She’s easy to talk to (love her humor) and always listens. She does healing Brainspotting and provides helpful handouts/resources for at home!

ADDITIONAL REVIEWS

Janae helped get my motivation back and was there when I had little support. She even went out of her way and gave me referrals to a great psychiatrist and PCP for extra support. Always helpful and non-judgmental.
Working with Janae has been life-changing. I’ve learned ADHD coping skills, which have significantly helped me as a student, professional, and personal life. Thank you for the continued support!
Janae provided invaluable support and insight, helping me build effective coping skills to better manage anxiety over the last few years. Her compassionate approach has made a significant impact in my therapy journey, mental heath, and overall well-being. I truly felt seen, heard, and supported.
Janae is an amazing therapist. Her deep understanding and perspective into mental health, well-being and mindfulness make our sessions incredibly beneficial. Brainspotting has been a deeply healing experience and allowed me to access, process and release emotions. Highly recommend!
I decided after going through some extremely difficult times in my life, to “realize” I need help. Someone who I can talk to, who will not judge me, but, listen. Really listen. I felt completely comfortable as well as “safe,” in sharing my dealing with death, suicide, family issues, as well as physical abuse. Ms. Gardner gave me healthy coping mechanisms, as well as gaining my trust in her. I felt like she TRULY cared about ME:) So hard to find!! A TRUE professional, as well as someone I can truly talk to and has compassion and truly cares. I HIGHLY recommend her!!!:)
