Janice Peyton

My communication style

I create an atmosphere of absolute positive regard and acceptance, identifying areas for growth and sharing a weekly journey with my clients. I encourage journaling, daily breathing and meditation, stretching, walking, music, pets, and art. I love stories and laughter. I'm reminded that we are all sharing a very human experience.

My journey to mental healthcare

The magic for me is the connection that develops from active listening, empathizing with grief and loss, sharing hope, and celebrating small successes. I come from a family history of addiction and recovery stories. I understand from personal experience the pain and delight of working through my own addictive disorders.

My goals for you

I offer tools, a safe space to share, and emotional support to try on new behaviors. Clients decide on what type of intervention might be of interest. I encourage a commitment to changes, with weekly suggested reading, podcasts, and worksheets. Work at your own pace.

Our first session

We begin with introductions and a review of expectations for successful therapy, confidentiality, and an outline of material to be covered. Each client completes an initial interview and brief family history, and we discuss realistic goals for therapy. I provide downloadable handouts that include terminology and helpful resources.
