I understand that life and relationships can feel overwhelming when we are working at it alone, sometimes that extra ear is all the support we need.
Ja'Nay Perry is a Licensed Associate Professional Counselor (LAPC) that specializes in treating depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship problems, ASD (autism spectrum disorder) related problems, and intimacy issues. Ja'Nay has years of experience in the mental health field starting as a registered behavior technician (RBT) and later going into the counseling field. While she started off primarily working with children & adolescents she has now expanded her focus to individual adults and couples, focusing on intimacy, communication, and relationship management.
Ja'Nay holds a Bachelor's degree in Psychology from Prairie View A&M University and a Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of North Georgia. She has built her foundation on believing that when it comes to our mental health a lot of the thoughts and feelings we experience stems from our subconscious trying to communicate that there is something that we need to tend to. Her framework is growth-oriented and client-centered.
Ja'Nay believes that it does not matter if you are little or big, when we are facing life's challenges alone things can naturally feel like a lot. So if you are looking for a holistic approach, a none judgmental space, and a practice rooted in collaboration/empowerment - you have found the right person.

Ashley: A go-to approach for helping people in grief & loss counseling is psychoeducation. The best benefit of psychoeducation is that people find comfort in understanding what they are going through.
Elouise: My go-to approach for helping people in grief & loss is establishing rapport and providing education about grief and the symptoms of grief. I recommend books on the topic of grief.
Ashley: Clinicians will teach the following tools in grief & loss counseling:
Elouise: I encourage clients to express their feelings associated with the loss. The story of the loss is shared in sessions. Feelings of anger and regret are explored.
Ashley: The clinician will know a client is making meaningful progress in grief & loss counseling when the loss isn't as painful to them as when the client first started the sessions.
Elouise: I know a client is making meaningful progress in grief & loss counseling when less time is focused on the loss and the client begins to reengage in daily activities and pleasurable activities with their family, friends, and community.
Ashley: Clients can supplement their time in grief & loss counseling by attending grief support groups.
Elouise: Clients can supplement their time in grief & loss counseling with reading books on the topic of grief, allowing loved ones to help, and saving the memories of the loved one.
Ashley: To prepare for their first grief & loss counseling session, an individual can think about how much support they will get from this journey.
Elouise: To prepare for their first grief & loss counseling session, an individual can be open and honest with themselves and the therapist.
Grief and loss counseling helps people grieve difficult losses including the death of a loved one, the loss of a job, or the end of a relationship. It helps people navigate their grief process and eventually accept, understand, and move forward from their loss. Thriveworks grief therapists in Lawrenceville, GA have specific experience, training, and skills that enable them to best support grieving individuals.
Grief and loss counseling isn’t one-size-fits-all, but it involves sharing about your loss and then working with your counselor to acknowledge and accept your new reality in its wake. Your provider at Thriveworks in Lawrenceville, GA will design your treatment plan around your unique needs and goals for therapy, applying the counseling techniques that best support them.
If you have recently experienced an event like the death of a loved one, a breakup or divorce, the loss of a job, or another major life change, then you may want to seek grief and loss counseling. Grief can be caused by many experiences and events, so if you feel that you are having trouble moving on from a certain event or find that it is still impacting your life and functioning, grief and loss counseling can help you process it more effectively so that you can move on and once again find fulfillment and satisfaction in your life.
There are many counseling theories for treating grief, one of the most frequently used being the dual process model of grief which helps people acknowledge who or what they’ve lost through rumination while also adjusting to the new roles and identities that this loss has now placed on them. There are also many commonly used therapy approaches used in grief and loss counseling, including Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and traumatic grief therapy.
Grief & loss counseling at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
For many, grief and loss counseling lasts for about 6 months. For others, it may last shorter or longer, depending on the severity of their loss and their grief.
