Janelle Brady, MS, LMFT, CCTP, EMDR-t

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or not quite like yourself, you're not alone. Life is full of transitions and challenges—and therapy is a space to make sense of it all.

It's important to have a neutral, confidential, & unbiased person to vent to. I collaborate with clients through a thoughtful and compassionate approach. I offer an empathetic ear and insightful guidance, creating a safe, supportive, and validating environment where you can explore, clarify your goals, and confidently build and embrace the life you truly desire.

As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, I offer a safe, compassionate, and collaborative environment where you and I work together as a team - at your pace, with your goals in focus. Whether you’re navigating trauma, managing stress, relationship struggles, professional burnout, or parenting challenges, my approach is grounded in empathy and tailored to your unique goals. 

​

With over 15 years of experience, I specialize in trauma-

informed care, EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Applied Behavior Analysis. I also integrate creative and somatic techniques to support healing and growth.

​

I’m passionate about empowering individuals and families to build stronger communication, resilience, and balance. Together, we’ll create a safe environment where you can explore your story, clarify your goals, and confidently move toward the life you want.
