Seeking outside support can be one of the most life changing experiences that will ultimately help you discover your true self. Therapy allows you to explore who you, uncover strengths and learn new skills that allow you to deal with challenges in your life. To experience ultimate happiness, one must start by loving themselves. We cannot erase the past, but we can start with what we have now and redesign the life we want to live.
Dr. Janice Avalone, Psy.D, LMFT
I am deeply passionate about guiding each person’s journey toward emotional confidence, self-awareness, and meaningful relationships. As a licensed psychotherapist, I specialize in individual and family counseling, holding a Master’s and Doctorate in Clinical Psychology from Pepperdine University and The Chicago School of Psychology. With 15 years of experience in private practice and school counseling—and as a mother of two—I intimately understand the emotional struggles, relationship dynamics, and pressures that shape our lives.
Motherhood, in particular, can be both beautiful and isolating. For postpartum moms, the emotional weight of exhaustion, identity shifts, and overwhelming expectations can feel unbearable. If you’re struggling to find balance, connection, or even a sense of yourself, you are not alone. The transition into motherhood—like any major life change—requires deep support, self-compassion, and space to heal.
Through my own journey, I’ve learned that wellness isn’t a luxury; it is a necessity. Life constantly pulls us in different directions, and without the right tools, we become vulnerable to anxiety, depression, and a loss of purpose. My own practice of running, yoga, meditation, and creative expression keeps me grounded, but finding balance is an ongoing process—it takes intention and care.
Are you ready to break free from the weight of expectations and create the life you truly want? It’s time to release what’s holding you back, step into your healing journey.
