Therapy for weirdos, Queers, cat ladies and religious dropouts
…and overthinkers, recovering people-pleasers, mold-breakers and adult ADHDers living life on hard mode.
Living in a world that wasn’t built for us is fucking hard. Shrinking your authentic Self just to survive can be exhausting. I get it because I’ve been there.
But… maybe you’re not the problem.
People who see me for counseling often are:
Trans men and women
Lesbians and gay men
Genderfluid, nonbinary or gender-questioning folx
Adults with neurodivergence like ADHD and/or autism spectrum
Formerly “gifted”-identified kids
People leaving religion or other systems of oppression
Therapy with a fellow Weirdo who gets it
My name is Janae Andrew. I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC-18457), Phoenix native, cardigan connoisseur, and genderfluid person trying to survive this bananas, batshit crazy world.
I've been a counselor since 2008, and here’s what I know for sure: Life is complicated. People are complicated. And sometimes things just really fucking suck.
We can't fix everything or control everyone (ugh). But that doesn't mean we're powerless, either.
My approach is conversational, collaborative, and rooted in acceptance, self-understanding, and figuring out what actually matters to you. We'll question old assumptions, connect some dots, and work on changing what you can—while learning how to take care of yourself through the shit you can't.
The goal isn't to become someone who never struggles. It's to build a life that feels like yours, even when life doesn't cooperate.
I take my work seriously. Myself, not so much.

“Finding yourself” is actually returning to yourself. An unlearning, an excavation, a remembering who you were before the world got its hands on you.”
