About Janet Crate

Janet Crate, LISW, believes that the answer to any problem lies within oneself. Janet feels fortunate and privileged to watch clients in their self-discovery process. Sometimes the solution comes quickly; sometimes the process takes longer, but clients leave each session knowing they have options and seeing possibilities for change.

In the process, fear and anxiety lessen or disappear and sadness is relieved. A client commented, “I have gotten more from my sessions with you than with any other therapist I have seen.” Her compassion and belief that everyone can access their inner ability to heal gives clients the courage to explore and discover new insights, leaving them with more confidence to resolve their problems.

Janet sees individuals and couples who are dealing with issues that block their enjoyment of life. As a believer in the mind-body connection and cognitive behavioral therapy, she utilizes guided imagery, meditation and energy work to facilitate healing.
