What I Offer
Three Paths to Healing
In-Office & Online
Individual Therapy
Personal healing for sexual identity, trauma recovery, and self-discovery in a safe, affirming environment. Work one-on-one to explore your inner world, process difficult experiences, and develop healthy coping strategies — all in a judgment-free space where you can speak openly about your relationships and struggles.
In-Office
Couples Therapy
Rebuild intimacy, improve communication, and strengthen your connection. A supportive, balanced space where both partners are heard, respected, and equipped with tools to reignite closeness. I draw on proven modalities including EFT, EMDR, and Internal Family Systems (IFS) to help you explore the patterns and protective parts that keep you from connecting. Whether you're navigating broken trust, mismatched desire, or simply feeling disconnected — healing is possible.
On a Cruise
Destination Coaching
A guided experience at sea designed to help you reconnect with yourself or your partner while stepping away from the demands of everyday life.
Through meaningful conversation, reflective practices, and skill-based coaching, the journey creates space for deeper understanding, renewed connection, and personal clarity. This experience welcomes both individuals seeking clarity and couples hoping to rediscover intimacy.

Janet Diep, MA, LCPC
I believe deeply that your relationship is not broken — it's simply waiting to be understood, honored, and healed. With specialized training in trauma recovery and couples therapy, I create a safe space where you can explore your authentic connection without judgment.
My approach is warm, direct, and rooted in the belief that healing happens through connection — first with yourself, then with each other. That's why I also offer Destination Coaching at sea, where stepping away from the demands of everyday life creates space for deeper understanding, renewed connection, and personal clarity.
