Janey Nelson

I am the owner and clinical director of Healthier You Counseling Center and have been a therapist for about 20 years. In 2024, I trained in Critical Memory Integration (CMI) and am on their leadership training team. I was one of the first Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) practitioners in Utah, being trained in 2017 and master trained in 2019.

One of my passions is helping others discover their best selves. I do this by creating healthy relationships with clients in individual, marriage, family, and group therapy. I help facilitate empowerment retreats for women and couples. Due to marriage and family being so important to me, I run Gottman and Layers of Love relationship groups. Additionally, I facilitate other groups as the need arises. On the things I am working on for the CMI Team is to develop CMI for groups.

One of my greatest beliefs is that it is important to love everyone, no matter the circumstances. I try to show that love by practicing kindness, which I believe is honest, assertive, respectful, and loving. It is this belief that helps me connect with my clients and develop the bonds of trust that allow them to grow.

To add to my professional experience, I am a wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. I was a foster parent for more than 22 years, and during that time I was awarded Utah’s Child Advocate of the Year. I love to cook, enjoy nature, quilting, jewelry making, and many other hobbies. I find peace as I sit down to create. I practice mindfulness daily in each of these activities, and they keep me grounded and in touch with myself.
