Janell-Johnson-Owner-Counselor-Alive-Counseling — About Janell

With a wide-ranging, professional background as a Youth Counselor, Program Director, Clinical Coordinator, Clinical Supervisor, Employment Specialist, and Work Incentive Specialist Advocate (WISA), I found my way to the development of ALIVE Counseling.
Drawing inspiration from my faith, family, and fun-centered practices, I consolidated my experiences and passions to provide multi-faceted services to children, families, and individuals with disabilities seeking employment.
