Janice Di Luzio Ph.D., LPC

I provide an atmosphere of safety where we proceed slowly, gently, and non-violently. It is important to read between the lines, at times, and to ask the right questions so that you feel heard and understood. I bring a "mix" of ways to each client. I use three "ways of being". I sit with each person knowing that each person has the capacity and desire for personal growth and change; I listen with the understanding that each person is multidimensional with a varied past and family dynamics are influential, and I intervene using whatever approach is appropriate for you personally and at the time that you are in my presence. If you have not made progress with other therapeutic interventions or therapists or you are at the point in your life where your spirituality cannot be separated from who you are and how you live your life, please contact me. My training prepared me to meet the unique mental and spiritual demands of our modern, global society. I am open to hearing your story.

I have a varied background. I began college as a French and Spanish major, influenced by my two summers spent in Panama learning Spanish and living with a Panamanian family. This changed my life because the Panamanian way of life is much different than ours. In college, I changed to a major in Speech and Language Pathology due to an interest in both Language and Psychology, and Speech and Language seemed to fit this. I spent four years in the U. S. Air Force as a Russian Linguist. Later, still pulled by my interest in Psychology, I went back to school for a graduate degree in Pastoral Counseling and later a doctorate in Counseling Psychology. Spirituality is a huge component of spiritual, emotional, and psychological health, in my opinion. It is a continual process to remove the ego from living our lives so that our "true self" can emerge. I also am working on accommodating a minimalistic lifestyle into my life for a greater sense of freedom and finding my true self.
