Janey Nelson

Janey is the owner and Clinical Director of Healthier You Counseling Center and has been a therapist for about 20 years. In 2024, she trained in Critical Memory Integration (CMI) and is on the CMI Training Leadership team. Janey was one of the first Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) practitioners in Utah, being trained in 2017 and master trained in 2019.

One of her passions is helping others discover their best selves. She does this by creating healthy relationships with clients in individual, marriage, family, and group therapy. Janey helps facilitate empowerment retreats for women and couples. Due to marriage and family being so important to her, she runs Gottman and Layers of Love relationship groups. Additionally, Janey facilitates other groups as the need arises. One of the things she is working on for the CMI Team is to develop CMI for groups.

One of her greatest beliefs is that it is important to love everyone, no matter the circumstances. She shows love by practicing kindness, which she believes is honest, assertive, respectful, and loving. It is this belief that helps Janey connect with her clients and develop the bonds of trust that allow them to grow.

To add to Janey’s professional experience, she is a wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. She was a foster parent for more than 22 years, and during that time, she was awarded Utah’s Child Advocate of the Year. Janey loves to cook, enjoys nature, quilting, jewelry making, and many other hobbies. She finds peace as she creates. Janey practices mindfulness daily in each of these activities, and they keep her grounded and in touch with herself.
