About Janet

 

Private Practice/Individual Therapy and Group Therapy:

Janet Zinn has a varied private practice because she works with individuals, couples, families and groups on a number of levels.  She treats long-term clients who are working on core issues in their lives, who choose to go to deep places that illuminate and transform circumstances and/or situations that are not working for them anymore.  This is arduous work that can be painful, and yet fulfilling. In addition, Janet has a number of short-term clients who are working on a specific issue and are addressing that issue head-on so they may move forward in their lives.  Coupled with that, there are families and individuals who are in crisis and seek counseling for a time-limited period.  They are looking for assistance when confronted with losses such as divorce, death, illness, care-giving, or sudden change.

Because this is not Janet Zinn's first career, she is able to use her varied history to tap into a great number of personal and professional experiences.  Clients are comprised of adolescents and adults, ages 12 on.  Through the years, clients have come in to deal with depression, anxiety, divorce, the stress of being a caregiver, bereavement, eating disorders, relationship problems, and difficult life circumstances.
