Life can be difficult, especially when faced with pain, loss, or unexpected change. I know the importance of having someone who listens without judgment and provides genuine support. I invite you to reach out so we can work together on building the clarity, healing, and strength needed to make your life what you want it to be.

As an African American female raised in a family that has experienced poverty, trauma, addiction, and a multitude of other major life stressors, I am no stranger to adversity.

In this journey, Janet can help you discover that the true essence of bravery lies not in the absence of fear, but in the determination to rise above it.

Are you, your child, or your family struggling with anxiety, depression, stress management, or trauma? I have a passion for working with individuals (children and adults), families, and couples. My job is to assist you in helping you look at things differently. Focusing on a shift in perspective allows for needed changes in feelings, thoughts, and behaviors to fall into place. I have been a practicing therapist for 13 years. My aim is to assist individuals, families, and/or couples in creating a better quality of life. So, if a better quality of life is what you are seeking, I want to walk with you on that journey.

Beginning a new mental health journey is not easy, but it is worth the effort. I value the vulnerability that it took to begin this journey. I see you. I hear you. Let's take this journey together. Therapy is not an overnight fix. There is not magic wand. It won't always be easy. But, it will be worth it. Are you ready?

Often with couples, I find that each member is “stuck” in an old pattern of reacting in relationships. These patterns often come from early experiences with family. Understanding our patterns is often helpful. Couples I see have difficulties communicating, and I am quick to teach communication skills. Most couples that are successful in therapy soon realize that they must actively shape the relationship.
I teach a variety of tools in therapy. Often we focus on:
I often know a client is making progress not when they are happy, but they are calmer in their struggles with life and feeling the courage to try new things. Also, I usually see progress when a client puts their own needs first.
A great deal of therapy does not really happen in sessions. Therapy happens when the client tries new “experiments” on how to deal with the real world. The client’s time with me is often a planning session for these new efforts.
Therapy always starts with a discussion of where the client has been. Clients are often eager to tell about the troubles they have had in life, but they should be prepared to discuss where they want to go and what they want to achieve. Clients in couples therapy often find that there is something they need to be willing to give up to keep the relationship healthy. Often, it is their own anger.
Couples therapy and marriage counseling, also known as relationship counseling, helps couples work through their specific relationship issues. Some examples of common focuses within couples therapy and marriage counseling include:
The types of therapy used in couples and marriage counseling include:
At Thriveworks, Couples/marriage therapy is led by licensed professionals — often licensed marriage and family therapists (LMFTs) — who are experts in their field and best-equipped to help couples.
The Gottman Method of couples therapy is a research-supported approach designed to enhance relationships by bolstering the bond between partners, resolving conflicts, and fostering shared meaning in their relationship through comprehensive assessments and tailored interventions that improve communication, trust, and the overall health of the partnership.
If you’re facing persistent relationship problems, communication breakdowns, or unresolved conflicts that are impacting your emotional well-being and happiness, Couples/marriage therapy may be beneficial for you.
While marriage and couple’s counseling is typically recommended for couples who are experiencing persistent or severe relationship issues, any relationship can benefit from attending these sessions.
Marriage and couples counseling at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you and your partner.
On average, couples attend marriage and couples counseling for 12 weeks. However, couples & marriage counseling may last longer or shorter, dependent on the couples’ needs, the challenges they’d like to work through, and the pace of their progress.
At Thriveworks, we accept most major insurance plans, allowing many clients to pay as little as $0–$50 per session with their co-pay. We also offer self-pay options for those out-of-network or without insurance. Self-pay rates for talk therapy range from $160 to $240 for intake sessions and $135 to $195 for follow-ups, depending on your state. For psychiatry services, self-pay intake sessions are $255–$375, with follow-ups ranging from $175–$300, also varying by state. More information on current self-pay costs is available on our pricing page.
