Janet Croteau

I'm a "inclusiastic" therapist who invites you to use our relationship as a template to find the sweet spot between safety and your growing edge as a human. I work with couple's and individuals. I have been an individual for 60 years and in a relationship with my husband (also a psychotherapist) for 30 years. I incorporate attachment theory, IFS, Buddhist psychology and psychodynamic inquiry into my therapy practice. I have BA from UCLA in Communications, An MA from NYU in Journalism and an MA from CIIS in Psychology. I am a lover of the nature world, songwriter, dual cynic and optimist. I believe in the power of connection, mystery, love, honoring our defenses and forgiveness (self and other oriented).

I create a safe place for you to love yourself and others better by normalizing, minimizing shame and maximizing self acceptance and curiosity.

Knowledge, inspiration, hope and the understanding that a certain amount of suffering is inherent in the human experience
