I believe that I am a good balance of validating and nonjudgmental while also being challenging when needed.

Based on some recent reviews, the therapeutic room I create offers an experience of comfort, support, congruency, and unconditional regard, in a safe and humble atmosphere. My tone is often soft, direct assertive, and my language is empathetic professional, encouraging, and transparent.

Do you continue to struggle with anxiety, mood, or self-defeating behaviors that get in the way of feeling good about yourself and sabotaging your potential? You are not alone.

Welcome! Thanks for visiting my page. The idea of counseling can be scary, no matter what our age, and this is a huge step. Finding the right “fit” can be critical for your success in counseling. Let me tell you a bit about my practice to see if it helps in your search. Most people come to my practice to gain a sense of what patterns are keeping them stuck (even when past counseling has not worked). Together we face what has been avoided to achieve greater satisfaction and fulfillment in our lives. I use humor to normalize symptoms of stress and provide a warm, comfortable environment to let go and take new supported risks. My practice works with the philosophy that past experiences can impact our present triggers, current relationships, and even future decisions. I work with past traumas (big or small) and present "pesky" symptoms you want healed through EMDR and IFS therapy to bring deep healing and resolution. Therapy is customized to meet your individual needs and goals. Issues- anxiety, panic attacks, depression, PTSD, trauma, grief, relationship conflict, attachment wounding and struggles, and Life Transitions

Our own minds can multiply, confuse, and perpetuate the inevitable pain in life, or heal us to greater joy, love, and creativity. I will work with you to master your imaginative creation and to steer toward the life you choose with effective strategies. Building on your strengths and the best parts of your life, we will work together to resolve your problems and fulfill your highest dreams. Tools: I have an exciting new tool in my tool box: Accelerated Resolution Therapy. It is so new that it is not among the modalities on this website but it's been around long enough for research to validate it as "evidence based." Most soldiers with PTSD have gotten good results and have completed therapy by the 3rd session. I am so thrilled with the helpfulness of A.R.T. that I have worked to become a trainer in this method. Find out more about it online. Please see my own website (above) for a link. MindBody Health: I am fascinated by how our minds relate to our bodies and vice versa. Two areas of research demonstrate how strong the connection is. 1. Adverse Childhood Events are correlated with major health problems later in life. And 2, excessive negative stress is often followed by illness. The first can be transformed using Accelerated Resolution therapy. You have resources now that can be brought to the child who experienced trauma. The second, stress, can be relieved, in many ways to protect and care for your body. Together, perhaps we will create self-hypnotic recordings to align the power of your mind with the health of your body. Some health problems, such as allergies to pets and airborne substances, seem to respond especially well to this approach. We are only beginning to know the extent to which our minds can affect our physical health. For me, there is enough evidence to direct the powers of my mind toward healing from any illness - in addition to taking advantage of the wisdom of my doctors.

I’ve been helping teens for 35 yrs and have a good read on the challenges they face and the strategies that are effective in relieving the anxiety, disillusionment, depression, anger, and disconnection that plague so many families. I help teens who are anxious, argumentative, defiant, withdrawn, moody, self-destructive, inattentive, depressed, or doing poorly in school and will help you decide whether the problems you're noticing are part of "typical" teen behavior or a sign of something more serious. I'm also very sensitive to the fact that many children and adolescents aren't interested in counseling and will try to avoid going, even when they themselves know they need help. I believe, however, that by approaching kids with an updated model of therapy offering lively, thought-provoking conversation, genuine contact with a credible adult and a ton of respect, we can get their attention, their engagement, and their willingness to examine things with a fresh eye. That’s what led to my newest book, Therapeutic Conversations with Adolescents: Helping Teens in Therapy Thrive in an Ultra-Competitive, Screen-Saturated World, which reflects my belief that adolescent therapy has needed a new paradigm in order to appeal to today’s kids — something where they wouldn’t be hounded by dumb questions or talked down to, something where they’d find themselves actually wanting to talk. Please visit my website - janetedgette.com - where you'll find many articles on parenting teenagers as well as the free download, "9 Things Your Teenager Wished You Understood Better." You can also check out some of my other books, including Stop Negotiating With Your Teen: Strategies for Parenting Your Angry, Moody, Manipulative or Depressed Adolescent and The Last Boys Picked: Helping Boys Who Don't Play Sports Survive Bullies and Boyhood, and my popular article, "Why Teens Hate Therapy." Examples of the problems I treat: academic decline, moody or manipulative behavior, depression, withdrawal from family, anxiety, problems making or keeping friends, poor self-image or self-esteem, unexplained sadness, self-destructive choices, disrespect toward parents, avoiding responsibility, chronic conflict or tension or disagreements at home, emotional distancing from parents, poor conduct (aggressive, evasive, intimidating), among many other types of issues or conditions. Call or write me. Let's see if I'm the right person to work with you and your family.

My approach to therapy is largely cognitive/behavioral, with a strong emphasis on acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) techniques, specifically learning to be mindful- noticing and accept your thoughts, feelings and physical sensations- while committing to behavior that is consistent with your own values. My experiences both in and out of the work setting are fairly broad so I feel I can address most issues clients present with. My style is engaging and supportive. I view our relationship as a partnership. I will spend the majority of our first sessions together listening to get to know you better. I believe that everything in our lives is interrelated, so at times I may let our focus move to whatever is particularly troubling to you that day. At other times, I may focus you back on the current problem we are trying to solve. I am married with two children and have had two career changes. I have experienced a wide variety of life stressors and have sought help when needed. I believe that these experiences have provided me with empathy, perspective and coping skills that I can use to help you.

Finding the right therapist can feel daunting. It might help you make your decision to know I felt I had to earn the right to accompany my clients on their psychological journeys. I earned that right not just through formal education, but also by embarking on the same psychological journey upon which I would ultimately accompany my clients. I offer therapy in a private, tranquil, picturesque office setting. Please give me a call to discuss how I can help you navigate the challenges you're facing.

Are trauma, stress, or anxiety quietly stealing your joy? Do you feel alone, overwhelmed, or like you’ve lost touch with yourself? You’re not broken, and you don’t have to face this alone. I’m a trained trauma therapist, and I help adults heal from the weight of trauma, stress, and anxiety. Together, we’ll uncover the roots of what’s holding you back, release the patterns keeping you stuck, and help you step fully into a life that feels like you again—whole, grounded, and free. I combine eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) with somatic therapies like therapeutic yoga, Reiki, and sound bath to create deep, lasting transformation. In our work together, you’ll not only uncover the root of what’s driving your anxiety, stress, or trauma, but you’ll also release it at a body level. I wholeheartedly believe that the therapeutic relationship is the most important element to successful therapy. Therefore, I make sure that our work together is supportive, empowering, and collaborative. I hope you will take the next step to invest in the authentic, joyful, and grounded version of yourself that patiently awaits you.
