Janette Carr, RCC
Janette Carr is a retired corrections officer who later transitioned into healthcare, working as a social worker during the COVID-19 pandemic. Across both professions, she experienced firsthand the impact of frontline trauma and anger, both personally and alongside her colleagues, which shaped her deep understanding of how unprocessed stress and emotional strain can affect every area of life.
Motivated by her own journey of seeking support through counselling, Janette pursued advanced education in social work and counselling psychology. She is committed to ongoing professional development and continues to expand her knowledge in areas such as Somatic Experiencing, EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS/parts work), attachment theory, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), mindfulness, and yoga.
Janette brings a wide range of experience to her practice, including her work with addictions, family dysfunction, relationships, marriage and divorce, parenting, and the complexities of balancing life’s demands. This depth of experience allows her to connect with clients from a place of empathy, insight, and authenticity.
Janette practices from a trauma-informed perspective, recognizing that a sense of safety is essential before meaningful healing can begin. She works collaboratively with clients, allowing them to guide the pace and direction of their therapeutic journey.
Janette’s approach is compassionate and approachable, while also being direct when needed to support meaningful change. She creates a supportive space where clients can explore their challenges and work toward practical, personalized goals that enhance their emotional and physical well-being, whether at home, at work, or in relationships.
She works with individuals experiencing stress, anxiety, depression, burnout, relationship difficulties, and the lasting effects of past experiences. Her focus is on helping clients feel understood, regain a sense of control, and move from simply surviving toward truly thriving.
Janette welcomes individuals from all cultural backgrounds, abilities, family structures, sexual orientations, and gender identities. She works with both youth and adults, offering an inclusive and respectful environment for all.
