Janette Marsac, Licensed Master Social Worker, Registered Dietician-Nutritionist, Senior Clinician

Meet Janette Marsac, LMSW, RDN:

Raise your hand if any of this sounds like you: 

  • Food rules your life. 

  • You obsess over dieting. 

  • You’ve tried every fad. 

  • Eating and body weight are always on your mind. 

  • You’ve sacrificed relationships, important events, your health, and sanity to follow rigid, rule-based eating patterns and overly control your intake.

  • You’ve felt out of control when eating and maybe can’t stop, even when you’re full. 

  • You turn to food when you’re stressed, bored, and sad. Instead of comfort, you’re left feeling guilty, ashamed, and numb.

Our relationship to food is so tied up in emotions.  It can be overwhelming to try and stop spiraling into these negative patterns of binges and all-or-nothing thinking.  You’re irritated and exhausted by the constant battle against your own body. 

If you’re someone who:

  • Struggles in your relationship with food

  • Has tied self-worth to bodyweight or image

  • Has faced an eating disorder, body image disturbances, or chronic dieting

I’m here to help you rewrite your relationship with food and your body. 

You can learn to eat without being scared or anxious. You deserve to view food as nourishment, not a weapon.

At the moment, Janette is not taking new clients. If you would like to be added to her waitlist, please email her directly here or please book a consultation call with one of our other wonderful therapists directly via the link below.


JANETTE’S APPROACH:

I help people struggling with anxiety and/or depression that is impacting their ability to feel healthy in their mind, body, and life. I work with:

  • Chronic dieters and athletes who want to overcome eating disorders and body image disturbances to achieve a healthy relationship with their body and food.  

  • People struggling with social anxiety/social phobia to overcome their intense fear of being watched and judged so they can achieve more in all areas of life. 

  • People dealing with depression related to low self-esteem, lack of self worth, mood dysregulation, vulnerability, and stressful life events to feel hopeful and like they have a say in their life. .

To treat anxiety, I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness, Brief Solutions Focused Therapy and Exposure Therapy. As a result, my clients learn to:

  • Challenge and change hurtful thoughts and behaviors. 

  • Improve how they deal with hurtful feelings. 

To treat depression, I use Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Interpersonal Therapy. As a result, my clients learn how to:

  • Self-soothe and calm overwhelming emotions. 

  • Challenge hurtful thoughts and beliefs in order to feel empowered and make healthier choices.
