My name is Janet Nestor, MA, LCMHC, DCEP and I've been a therapist for over twenty years. I work with men, women, and teens aged fourteen and up. I have a rather informal approach to counseling. I am client-centered, and I utilize insight therapy. I work with somatic therapies and with traditional cognitive therapy.
My first career was in special education, working with adolescents and adults with ADHD, learning differences, autism, and physical disabilities. I continue to work with these issues in my counseling practice.
I love counseling sensitive people and empaths, as I have lived that journey. Over the years, I've worked with many people suffering from Lyme Disease and autoimmune illness. I have good experience working with people with substance abuse issues and with those in long-term residential recovery programs. I excel in working with anxiety, panic attacks, stress, phobias, and other anxiety-related challenges.
You will find that I am easy to talk with, I will meet you where you are, and we will work from there in a way that is designed just for you. I look forward to meeting you and welcoming you to my BetterHelp practice.

Janet Nestor is genuinely a once-in-a-lifetime ally. If you are fortunate enough to become matched with Janet, CELEBRATE!! I was in a dark space when I reached out for help and had little hope that anyone could understand the multitude of events, issues, ongoing traumas, etc., I was, and still am, facing. How could I possibly share decades of ongoing pain? My doubts were erased almost immediately. Janet reached out to me as soon as we were matched. Her words soothed me and we met via video session soon thereafter. I cannot explain her methods because whatever she does produces results that are beyond what should be possible. Within a week or so I trusted her implicitly. I found I didn't need to go over every detail. Janet "gets your pain" with one sentence. She is one of the most intuitive humans I have ever known. She honors my schedule, my feelings, my preferences, my mistakes, my successes ... all of me. The tools and exercises she provides are miraculous. Her breadth and depth of expertise are unmatched and she delivers support in a down to earth, loving, kind, completely non-judgmental way. She will give you what you need before you know you need it. She will support you, be with you constantly, offer practical activities that you never thought of (that work!!!) and if you let her, she will bring out the best in you, renew your hope, show you how to find peace no matter what you're facing, and remind you of what you thought you'd lost. You can get out of bed looking forward to your future again. I'm not sure how she does it, but I'm grateful.
