Welcome! I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in the state of New York, and earned my Master of Science in Mental Health Counseling from John Jay College of Criminal Justice in 2012. I have a total of 6 years counseling experience during which I have worked with a wide variety of individuals, including those dealing with issues of substance abuse, depression, anxiety, personality disorders, mood disorders, and psychotic disorders. My counseling style is a combination of warm and empathetic, along with tactful honesty and accountability. I believe in mutual respect and compassion. I encourage my clients to be honest with me and if something is not working, to speak up and tell me. I believe in allowing my clients to take ownership of their therapy and gain skills in advocating for themselves. I also believe in understanding the human condition of imperfection and the idea that we all make mistakes. I use a combination of cognitive-behavioral therapy, psycho-education, motivational interviewing, and humanistic treatment approaches. It takes a great amount of courage to ask for help. I know how healing it is to tell your story and to really begin to have an understanding of where our struggles originated. I also know the healing power of knowing that we have control and the ability to move forward and find solutions for our lives. My goal is to help empower you to improve what is working well for you and give you the tools to help change what is not working for you. I look forward to starting this new journey with you!

Hello! Thank you for taking the time to view my profile. I am Janet Wise-Thomas, a Licensed NYS Clinical Social Worker who has been working for over 30 years with individuals with chronic illnesses and who have suffered many forms of psychological and physical trauma. My work with young adults to seniors who struggled with variety of presenting issues, including anxiety, depression, relationship and family issues, community violence and gender identity. I am sensitive and respectful for multi/cross-cultural factors, and trained others on cultural competency. In the end, it is about building therapeutic relationship with you that is compassionate, warmth and in-tune with your needs. My therapeutic approach draws from many disciplines, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Mindfulness and Solution-Focused Therapy. I am a strong believer in collaborating with my clients to help them create and accomplish their goals. Whether it is dealing with symptoms of depression or anxiety, or getting back to normalcy after experiencing trauma and/or going through a life crisis. Over the years, I have been privileged to work with many individuals and families looking to increase their overall stability and find joy and purpose in their lives. I do not have a “one size fits all” approach. Each individual or family constellation has specific needs, and my coaching and counseling reflects the importance of tuning into their concerns. Let’s talk about how I can help you in your journey to a better and healthier you! In addition, I have undergone intensive training in Pastoral Counseling through Fordham University’s School of Religion and Religious Studies. My training and experiences included offering grief and crisis counseling in hospital settings such as the Emergency Room and Intensive Care Unit. In the community, I provided pastoral care counseling to members at The Riverside Church in the City of New York. In these unprecedented times of disproportionate loss and grief, I have the skill set of empathy and compassion to help you as you grieve the loss of love ones, especially when you were not able to say goodbye. I believe that you work with a person in mind, body and spirit. Outside of my work as a therapist, I am a licensed fitness instructor who teaches yoga, Enerchi (a form of Tai Chi) and cardio-fitness (including Cardio Drumming) to persons of all ages. You are unique and you were created to do good things in this world for yourself and others. You are taking the steps to develop your potential!
