About Janet Fluker
"Discovering the truth about ourselves is a lifetime's work, but it's worth the effort"
― Mr. Fred Rogers
Janet believes emotional healing comes through the power of relationship and strives to provide a safe and supportive space for this healing. Her main theoretical orientation is Attachment Theory. She believes that we learn how to be in a relationship in our earliest experiences with our families and develop ways to be in the world that works for us, until they no longer do, which often shows up in anxiety, depression, addiction, and relationship problems. Providing a safe, non-judgmental place to examine our relationship to ourselves, others and God can bring healing and freedom.
Janet is originally from Florida but has been in the Atlanta area for 40 years. She is married and the mother of three adult daughters, one who experiences autism and developmental disability, and three stepdaughters. She enjoys the beauty of Western North Carolina and visits as often as she can. She loves cooking, reading, and being with children, especially her grandchildren!
