Meet Janet Clevenger,
MS, LCMFT

Hi, I’m Janet Clevenger, a licensed clinical marriage and family therapist (LCMFT). With years of experience and a deep commitment to my clients, I have had the privilege of working with hundreds of individuals, couples, and families as they navigate the complexities of life and relationships.

My approach is both compassionate and direct. Whether you are dealing with disordered eating, building communication bridges between parents and their adult children, or healing from religious or relational trauma, I am dedicated to being a fierce truth-teller and an empathetic healing partner throughout your therapy experience.

Our Philosophy

At Watermark Counseling, we recognize that mental health care is not a one-size-fits-all solution. Each person’s journey is unique, and so is our approach. We combine evidence-based practices with personalized care to ensure that you receive the support and guidance you need to achieve your goals.

Affordable,
High-Quality Therapy

In today’s world, finding affordable therapy can be a challenge. At Watermark Counseling, we are committed to making mental health care accessible to everyone. To this end, we have opened our practice to Masters-level interns who are capable of providing high-quality therapy services at discounted rates. These interns work under my direct supervision, ensuring that you receive professional and effective care.
