As one who has experienced personal trauma and loss, I have a genuine understanding of how we may be impacted by various traumas, which helps me empower others through their journey.
I am a licensed master social worker (LMSW) with 16 years of experience supporting children, adolescents, and adults navigating emotional and behavioral challenges. I specialize in helping clients work through trauma, anxiety, depression, PTSD, and family or social stressors. Many of the individuals and families I work with are seeking support as they face difficult life experiences, relationship challenges, or emotional hurdles, and I am passionate about helping them move toward healing and personal growth.
I earned my master’s degree in social work from the University of Georgia and my Bachelor of Science in psychology. My therapeutic approach is client-centered and often incorporates cognitive behavioral therapy, solution-focused therapy, and trauma-informed practices to help clients build insight, strengthen coping skills, and work toward their goals.
I strive to create a warm, supportive environment where clients feel heard, respected, and comfortable sharing their stories. Taking the first step toward therapy can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to navigate your journey alone. I look forward to working with you and supporting you as you move toward greater balance, healing, and well-being.

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 Professional Counselor (LPC) 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 stem 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 non-judgmental space, and a practice rooted in collaboration/empowerment - you have found the right person.
You deserve dedicated time with a mental health professional — it can be life-changing.

Sex therapy addresses challenges and concerns, helping couples move forward in a healthy manner while addressing each person’s fears or worries. Sex is the closest form of intimacy, and when there are issues, the couple can feel distant and experience friction — sex therapy helps to dissolve this friction.
Sex therapy providers at Thriveworks in Marietta, GA take the time to address each person individually, as well as the couple as a whole. Through acknowledgment that each person brings a different sexual history, level of sexual desire, and openness, the couple can work through their unique sex issues successfully, with their therapist’s guidance.
Sex therapy at Thriveworks in Marietta, GA is conducted both in person and virtually via online therapy. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
Sex therapy typically lasts for several months. However, it can be shorter or longer, depending on the couple’s needs.
The world is full of references to sex. When you are suffering with a sexual issue or painful sexual history, each media reference to sex is painful. It is impossible for most adults to go very long without thinking about sex. When you are trying to break free from a sexual issue, every mention or thought of sex is wrought with emotion. When you call to connect with a Thriveworks Marietta counselor or therapist, you are beginning the process of creating a new normal. Let us walk with you in defining your problem, understanding its root, and creating a plan for victory over it.
There are a wide range of sexual issues, and sadly, they can affect people of all ages. Children, obviously, should know nearly nothing about sex. Yet, it is a sad reality of society today that some children have knowledge of sexual behavior. Whether you are looking for help for your child, teen, your relationship, or your spouse, Thriveworks Marietta, GA counselors and therapists can help.
Perhaps you are not trying to work on a specific problem, but rather are attempting to improve your current relationship or marriage. If you are struggling with a more serious concern, this list may be useful to you. Some common types of sexual issues include:
While this is not a complete list, it is a great starting point for figuring out the general area of your problem. Thriveworks Marietta counselors and sex therapists can help you determine your exact issue, and then journey with you on solving it.
If you and your spouse or partner are having difficulty with sexual intimacy, this can flow over into many different areas of your life. When a couple is having trouble in the bedroom, communication can become strained, and distance can be created. When these problems are ongoing, they build upon each other and can create a deep divide between two people who still love and care for each other a great deal. Thriveworks Marietta sex therapists and counselors can help each individual in a relationship understand their role in the sexual issue, and work to redefine and recreate the intimacy they lost.
Perhaps you are only trying to deal with your own sexual history and issues. If you have suffered abuse, it can take years to reestablish a healthy emotional state with regards to sex. Thriveworks Marietta therapists and counselors can help you make this a reality. We will help you develop a plan of action, walk with you as you take the steps necessary for real change, and help you assess your progress.
We know that you may have been considering making that first call for help for a long time. For some, seeking counseling is not an easy decision to make, despite it being so desperately needed. When you are finally ready to reach out for help, we are ready to join you. We want to be ready when you are ready to make a change. We pride ourselves on not operating with a waiting list. It can be frightening to consider telling your life history to someone new. But it may be the best decision you have ever made for your relationship, and for your emotional and psychological health. You are not alone. Thriveworks counselors and therapists in Marietta are prepared to take this important journey with you.
