Janet Nestor

Janet Nestor, MA, LCMHC, DCEP, is a therapist with more than 23 years of experience supporting people through a wide range of life challenges. As an LCMHC (Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor), she is trained to provide professional mental health counseling, and her work is grounded in a client-centered style that prioritizes each person’s goals, pace, and lived experience. Her approach is intentionally down-to-earth and conversational, helping clients feel met where they are and supported in moving forward in a way that fits them.

Janet integrates insight-oriented work with both somatic approaches that pay attention to the mind-body connection and traditional cognitive strategies that focus on thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. She works with men, women, and teens ages 14 and up, tailoring sessions to the individual rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all plan.

Before becoming a counselor, Janet’s first career was in special education, where she worked with adolescents and adults navigating ADHD, learning differences, autism, and physical disabilities. That background continues to inform her counseling practice today. She also has experience supporting people impacted by chronic illness such as Lyme Disease and autoimmune conditions, as well as those dealing with substance use concerns, including individuals in long-term residential recovery programs. Janet frequently helps clients with anxiety-related concerns such as stress, panic attacks, and phobias, and she aims to create a supportive space where sensitive people and empaths can better understand themselves and build practical coping skills.
