Janet Perdue LPCA
Let us first start by introducing you to our lead therapist. You will find her story and background a little different, there are several twists and turns but we hope it helps you understand why she is where she is today and her commitment to guide clients on a hope filled journey.
Janet Perdue is a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate (LPCA). She received her Bachelor of Science degree in Industrial Engineering from Southern College of Technology. Janet worked as a Process Engineer at Milliken & Company and realized quickly she enjoyed working with people. She went onto train and work in Human Resources for several years with Milliken & Company.
​
Janet found that she enjoyed meeting new people and building strong rapport so moved into an outside Sales position with Alpha Technology traveling to South Carolina, North Carolina, Georgia and Tennessee. After several years in this position and traveling a tremendous amount, she decided to move into a local sales position and became an inside salesperson for IKON for a few years and then became a pharmaceutical sales representative for Solvay Pharmaceuticals and Sanofi Pharmaceuticals where she spent 18 years working in different specialty areas.
Janet has been married for 23 years and has 2 boys and 3 dogs. While working in pharmaceuticals she was active in volunteering in her children’s schools. She observed the extreme amount of stress and pressure that students were experiencing and found herself amazed at their resilience and ability to manage it the best way possible mostly without any guidance. She then decided to further her education and completed her Master of Arts in Counseling with the intention to work with middle school, high school and college age students as well as parents/guardians adjusting through parenting young adults. Janet also works with adult clients that might be managing a transition or searching for a next step approach to managing life’s challenges.
Janet has a burning desire to help guide individuals in building a hope filled future and help them manage the stress they may be experiencing. The main goal of her as a therapist is to work with each client and help guide them in creating realistic goals and skills with a next step approach so they can build a hope filled path through all of life’s challenges.
