Janet Lengsfelder , LMFT

Janet Lengsfelder brings a background in nursing and more than two decades of clinical experience to her work as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT). She began her career in nursing, supporting people through illness and recovery, and came to see how much healing depends on a consistent team that knows and encourages the whole person. This led her to pursue graduate training and a three-year program in Gestalt therapy, which deepened her skills for providing emotional first aid and guiding clients through meaningful change.

Janet approaches therapy as a fellow traveler on life’s path, combining practical techniques with an emphasis on self-awareness. She helps clients identify recurring life themes and strengthen their sense of self so that feelings of panic or catastrophe can shift into more manageable experiences of disappointment, sadness, or pain. Her work encourages clients to take risks in living fully and to learn and grow from difficult experiences, with the aim of opening the way to genuine moments of joy.

With a compassionate, challenge-oriented style, Janet supports people through stress, anxiety, grief, relationship concerns, addiction, trauma, parenting issues, career transitions, and end-of-life and caregiver stress. As an LMFT she integrates relational and emotional perspectives to foster healing and resilience, and she regards it as an honor to witness each person’s process.
