F. Janelle McNeal, Ph.D.
Hi! I’m Janelle. I’m a licensed psychologist practicing in Lexington, KY, and I specialize in women’s counseling for entrepreneurs. I understand the pressure and stress that come along with owning your own business. It’s easy to be consumed by your work and to struggle to balance work with all the other areas of your life. You often feel spread too thin and like you’re not doing well enough in any of the areas in your life. You feel you’re not a “good enough” business owner, partner, mother, daughter, colleague, etc. even though you’re trying so hard! (Now might be a good time to mention that perfectionism is often experienced by entrepreneurs!)
When you work with me in therapy, I’ll help you to feel comfortable and safe. I’m not judgmental, and I’ll make it easier to talk about things you feel embarrassed, guilty, stressed, or self-conscious about. I’m not perfect either! I genuinely care about each of my clients. We’ll work together to figure out what’s going well in your life and what causes you stress. We’ll assess your goals, your to-do list, your strengths and feelings and will come up with a game plan to get you in a better place.
After working with me in counseling, women often thank me for being with them and seeing their potential even when they are having a hard time actually living into that potential. They say they appreciate me for being genuine with them and showing them that I'm also on the path to getting closer to my ideal life.
My clients tell me after completing therapy with me they experience not only a decrease in their stress levels and negative symptoms but also an increase in happiness. Overall, they describe finally finding a sense of rhythm among the different aspects of their lives. I’m invested in helping you achieve a more meaningful, authentic, and satisfying life. If you’re also ready to invest in yourself, please schedule an appointment/contact us.
