Janet Michalsen, MA, LPC - Professional Headshot

Meet Janet

I'm Janet Diep, MA, LPC, and I believe deeply that your sexuality is not broken— it's simply waiting to be understood, honored, and healed.

With specialized training in sex therapy, trauma recovery, and LGBTQ+ affirming care, I create a safe space where you can explore your authentic self without judgment. Whether you're navigating relationship challenges, healing from trauma, or rediscovering your sexual identity, you deserve compassionate, expert support.

My approach is warm, direct, and rooted in the belief that healing happens through connection—first with yourself, then with others.

Trauma Healing

Unresolved trauma, shame, or painful experiences can make intimacy feel overwhelming. Using trauma-focused therapy, you can release old wounds and feel safe, confident, and connected in your body and relationships again.

Self-Connection

Your inner world shapes how you show up in relationships. Together, we'll explore the parts of you that impact intimacy—helping you feel more grounded, authentic, and ready to experience true connection.

Relational Growth

Sex isn't just about mechanics—it's about closeness, communication, and joy. Through couples sex therapy, you'll gain tools to rebuild trust, spark desire, strengthen your bond, and nurture lasting connection, intimacy, growth, and healing.

"Your sexuality is not broken—it's simply waiting to be understood, honored, and healed."
