Services | Janessa Radford, LCSW

Clinical Therapeutic Approaches

I integrate multiple evidence-based frameworks to create a personalized approach that meets your unique needs, challenges, and goals for mental health and personal growth.

Internal Family Systems (IFS)

As an IFS Level One-Trained clinician, I help clients identify and heal different "parts" of themselves that may be carrying burdens from past experiences, working toward greater self-leadership and harmony.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT helps identify and change negative thought patterns that affect emotions and behaviors. This structured approach includes practical strategies and skills to address specific challenges and create lasting change.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

DBT focuses on building skills in four key areas: mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness. These skills help manage intense emotions and improve relationships.

Trauma-Informed Care

I understand that trauma affects the mind, body, and spirit. I approach each client with sensitivity to how past experiences may be impacting current functioning, symptoms, and relationships.

Person-Centered Care

I believe that each individual is the expert on their own life. My role is to provide support, guidance, and evidence-based tools while honoring your innate capacity for growth and healing.

Health at Every Size®

I practice from a Health at Every Size® perspective, particularly in working with eating disorders. This approach focuses on health-promoting behaviors rather than weight, acknowledging the harm that weight stigma causes.

Therapy Specialties Offered

I specialize in working with adults and adolescents experiencing a range of challenges, with particular expertise in the following areas:

Complex Trauma Treatment

I specialize in helping adults work through complex trauma using Internal Family Systems Therapy, creating a safe space to process difficult experiences and build resilience. My trauma therapy approach recognizes that trauma affects the whole person—mind, body, and spirit.

Eating Disorder Treatment

As an Ample + Rooted trained provider, I offer specialized eating disorder treatment from a Health at Every Size® perspective, helping clients heal their relationship with food, body, and self-image. I believe that all bodies deserve respect, care, and compassion regardless of size or shape.

Anxiety & Depression Counseling

Through a combination of CBT, DBT, and person-centered approaches, I provide anxiety depression counseling to help clients understand and manage symptoms, working toward sustainable change. These evidence-based approaches can provide relief and build coping skills.

LGBTQIA+ Affirming Therapy

I provide LGBTQIA+ affirming therapy in an inclusive environment for individuals navigating identity, relationships, and the unique stressors that may arise in a heteronormative society. My practice is grounded in respect for all gender identities and sexual orientations.
