About me
My name is Jan Abbott. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a certified professional counselor supervisor (CPCS) in the state of Georgia. I have been doing mental health therapy for over 13 years in the greater Atlanta area. I have been the clinical director at several mental health clinics for in house and community therapy agencies. I have also spearheaded and created whole health programs for medical doctors to ensure my clients are able to heal the mind, body, and spirit. For the last 6 years, I have been in private practice where I have worked with a plethora of clients from all walks of life, with great success. My ability to help clients, especially those who are resistant or unaware of what changes are needed in their lives has been a great success as well. I have a wealth of experience working with individuals, groups, couples, and families within a therapeutic framework, using cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), solution-focused therapy (SFT), and many other modalities have aided in that success. I have a history of working in interdisciplinary teams, including doctors, lawyers, the courts, DFCS community case managers, psychiatrists, psychologists, therapists, and other community partners to meet the needs of a very diverse clientele. I have the uncanny ability to use an array of innovative plans, therapy styles, and resources to develop ideal solutions for many therapeutic, community, and systematic problems in order to empower my client base.

Jan really makes me feel heard and seen. She gives me validation and makes me feel like I can get better. I'm grateful to have her as my therapist.

I really like Jan. We laugh, we share and she listens and has offered some really valuable advice, sometimes through personal experience and other time through her professional experience and what she has dealt with in her career. I look forward to our chats every week.

Dear Jan, thank you for your support and guidance. If I look back at a year ago, I don’t recognise myself. You helped me rediscover who I am and better myself. I am working towards improving myself and so glad you are alongside with me in this journey. I got this, thanking you!

Jan is wonderful. She holds empathetic non-judgmental space while working with me to meet any self limiting patterns with solutions. I would recommend her to anyone. She is relatable, kind, and effective.
