Therapists in Canton, MS
Canton was on the Mississippi Blues Trail, a series of towns that blues singers went through during the period. Just as Canton is one of the birthplaces of blues, many people that reside in the town today have blues of their own. It is natural to sometimes get the blues, but it is important that you face your emotions head on when the blues become deeper such as anxiety or depression.
If you are suffering from the blues, and not the musical kind, you need to talk to a therapist for help today. Counselors in the Canton area are available now to talk you through your emotions and help you find the root of the problem. Contact a therapist today.

I’m Janet Hardy (she/her). I provide telemental health counseling, or “online counseling,” to adults with a broad spectrum of concerns, including parenting, relationships, anxiety, depression, and trauma. I work with young adults, parents, and the LGBTQIA+ community. Human beings are complex creatures. When problems occur, it is often a combination of many factors such as environment, learned behaviors, values, biology, society, development, chemistry, culture, systems, and personal narrative. Therefore, addressing these problems requires an integrated approach that accounts for these various factors. Therapy begins with developing a strong therapeutic relationship in which the client can feel safe to explore their emotions and vulnerabilities. To facilitate this therapeutic relationship, I use a person-centered approach that emphasizes empathy, congruence, and unconditional positive regard for each client I work with. Therapy is most successful when the therapist and the client work together to help the client reach their goals. I look forward to working with you. *Please note that proof of identity and emergency contact information will be required before services can begin.
