Therapists in Greenville, NC

Thank you for reaching out! I'm now offering LCMHC-A clinical supervision! I know it can be difficult to make the decision to start therapy, and I'm honored that you've taken the first step by contacting me. Let's begin your healing journey so you can start living your best life! I offer individual and group therapy, clinical supervision, and corporate diversity, equity, and inclusion training.

Grief, trauma and systemic oppression have increasingly become visible and universal experiences affecting individuals, couples, families and communities. I began my career working with the survivors of intimate partner violence and individuals/families grappling with cancer and death. These experiences have informed my practice working with individuals, couples and families dealing with loss, grief, trauma, anxiety/depression, major life changes, chronic illness, abuse and relational distress.

Therapy with me is a collaborative partnership. We will work together to enact the change you are seeking, and form a relationship based on direct, honest, and respectful feedback. I aim to provide care that is deeply empathetic towards the difficulty of change, while maintaining that growth is possible with the right approach. You can expect to be both emotionally supported & challenged throughout our process. Whether it is guiding you to a deeper understanding of Self, providing you with practical skills, helping you foster deeper connections, or holding you accountable, I am committed to walking alongside you on this journey.

I work with clients to help unlock their potential and achieve their goals. Change is one of the hardest things to do, and I am here to help facilitate that. I work with children, adolescents, adults, couples, families as well as run groups using a variety of therapeutic approaches that include: cognitive-behavioral therapy, client-centered therapy, solution-focused therapy, family-systems therapy, meditation and mindfulness therapy. I specialize in helping those with issues pertaining to ADHD, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, male issues, anger management, vulnerability, relationship issues, and work/life balance.

My approach to the collaborative effort of psychotherapy is influenced by structural/strategic family systems theory, informing the process of joining with clients to clarify their roles in relationship, family, and community. Creative engagement in experiential learning assists individuals, couples, and families in gaining a fresh perspective through focused work that brings lasting results. I endeavor, in every client relationship, to de-mystify the daunting prospect of change, empowering personal choice in difficult circumstances through guided self-exploration.

Janelle’s areas of specialty include anxiety disorders, post-traumatic stress/growth, life transitions, couples/pre-marital therapy, women’s issues, family systems/generational trauma, adolescent mental health, career/lifestyle issues, and identity issues. Her experience has included extensive training in evidence-based and trauma-informed practices including Trauma-focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and family systems approaches.

Are you in a season of your professional journey where you want more? Have you been living to please others and as a result are living your life on "empty". Are you sick of coming against the same challenges over and over again in your relationships, friendships, and work? Are you struggling to establish and maintain healthy relationships, but can't pinpoint why you're dissatisfied in the areas of your life that matter to you?

My name is Jenny Bates, and I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor with over 22 years of clinical experience working with Individuals, Couples, Families, and Minors who are experiencing ADHD, Anxiety, Grief, Stress, and Relationship Issues. I use a mix of Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral (CBT), Eclectic, Family Systems, and Person-Centered therapies during treatments with my clients. I believe that successful therapy will require the client to play an active role both during and between sessions to practice new skills and learn ways to strengthen them.

My highest priority is to respect the integrity, faith and values of each person. I work with a variety of people and have an extensive psychodynamic and psychoanalytic background, advanced degrees in Psychology and Theology, and decades of clinical experience with persons and families in crisis. I welcome clients from any (or no) faith tradition. I have decades of experience working with people struggling with loss, grief, anxiety, depression and relationship issues.
