About Janet

Support for Teens, Adults, Couples, and Families

Janet Butters, AMFT

Life can feel overwhelming when relationships are strained, emotions feel heavy, or your family is navigating a difficult season. Janet provides a warm, steady, and supportive therapy space where clients can slow down, feel heard, and begin taking practical steps toward healing. At KMF Counseling, our approach is grounded in the belief that growth does not require perfection — it begins with learning how to Keep Moving Forward.

Janet Works With

Adolescents (Ages 12–18)

Janet supports teens navigating anxiety, depression, identity exploration, school stress, family conflict, self-esteem challenges, and emotional regulation. Her approach helps adolescents feel heard, supported, and better equipped to manage life’s challenges.

Adults

Janet works with adults facing anxiety, stress, grief, relationship concerns, life transitions, and feelings of being stuck or overwhelmed. Therapy focuses on building insight, resilience, and healthier patterns for everyday life.

Couples

Janet helps couples strengthen communication, rebuild trust, navigate conflict, and reconnect emotionally. Sessions provide a supportive space to better understand one another and create healthier relationship dynamics.

Families

Janet works with families to improve communication, reduce conflict, and foster healthier, more supportive relationships at home. Therapy focuses on creating understanding, connection, and lasting positive change.

Janet’s Style

Janet brings a calm, compassionate, and collaborative presence into the therapy room. Her work is practical,

Her approach may include elements of:

  • Motivational Interviewing
  • Solution-Focused Therapy
  • Internal Family Systems-informed work
  • Attachment-based support
  • Emotional regulation and communication skills
