Janet Whitney Marriage Family Therapist - Newport Beach, California

Elizabeth Ellis

Janet is such an incredible, compassionate, caring, wonderful, empathetic, understanding therapist and person. I went to many therapists before finding Janet, trying to find the right one who I would feel safe with while working on healing on my trauma. My husband found Janet through Google and gave her a call. I am forever grateful for that call! It took several years of searching but within my first session with Janet, I knew that she was the perfect therapist for me! She immediately made me feel safe! She validated all of my thoughts, concerns, and goals I had in wanting to heal and start therapy. I am truly grateful for her. I have finally found a safe place where I can work on healing and becoming the best version of myself for my family and I. I am forever grateful to have found Janet and am truly in awe of the wonderful person and therapist that she is. I recently started reading her book as well and working on the exercises in her book to continue to heal. With all of her help and guidance I am beginning to find my path to healing and becoming myself again. I cannot say enough positive things about Janet! She is wonderful! I would recommend her to anyone that is looking for a wonderful, understanding, compassionate, and and incredible therapist who is looking for guidance and healing. I am forever grateful for all of her help!

Janet has truly been a godsend to me and my family. She has been our therapist for over 2 years now. She has helped us through rough times and times of great celebration. She has shown us the path to growth and continues to guide us on our journey. We were very lucky to have found Janet and could not recommend her enough for anyone, family or single person, who needs guidance and healing. I would rate her way beyond 5 stars if I could!

We were referred to Janet when one of our children was in much need of a good therapist. Wow! What a huge blessing she has been to all of us! She has helped my husband and I along with our 4 now adult kids AND several of our grandkids! Not only that, she has helped my aging mother and other of my relatives and friends. She is so so great at what she does!
You won’t be spinning your wheels waiting for your life to improve when you work with Janet. She is gifted in her creative and innovative and sometimes even simple ways of helping you to see around obstacles that may be holding you back. She is one of those rare people who seem dedicated to caring for everyone she comes into contact with.

Janet Whitney shares her wisdom, insight, and intuition so generously. With warmth and care she truly listens and offers a multidimensional path to healing. By incorporating the pragmatic and practical, along with recognition and deep respect for the mystery and magic of our individual growth, Janet provides a safe space for expansion and balance.
I am so grateful to know Janet and have her in my life.

I have known Janet Whitney for 7 years and I have found her to be one of the most honest, responsible, trustworthy, and likeable people I have ever met.

As a therapist, she is outstanding! I have seen how completely dedicated she is to her clients, working tirelessly to help them in every way she can. She takes calls almost around the clock for those clients who need immediate assistance. She makes time to accommodate those who need to get in to see her (or have a Zoom session) in an emergency situation. And she is very understanding when someone needs to reschedule an appointment, even at the last minute.

In addition, she combines superior intellect, amazing observational skills and sensitivity, and just basic common sense, with over 40 years of experience in her field, to provide easy-to-understand and spot-on advice and perspective to all her clients.

I take great pleasure in giving Janet my absolutely highest recommendation as a therapist who will be able to make a profoundly positive difference in your life going forward.

Sincerely, Michael G. Van Guilder, Ph.D.

What to say about Janet Whitney, my therapist…always available to reassure and guide, always empathetic, always a great listener, always a great advocate for me! In my most vulnerable state, Janet helped me discover my strengths and accept my vulnerability . Janet also invited me to join a unique group of women with similar experiences. Can't emphasize what a gift it was to be with like minded peers giving me an opportunity for continued growth and healing. I can wholly recommend Janet Whitney and do so enthusiastically.

I wish I had met Janet earlier in my life because I would have found peace, understanding and success in my life, relationships and career much sooner! She is amazing!!!!
