About
As a black woman who's been married for 10 years and lives a very busy life, I understand the challenges that comes with marriage and society. As someone who has personally experienced depression and anxiety along with challenges in self-esteem, I understand how that can get in the way of the relationship with yourself, significant other, and family.
I have been practicing therapy since 2019 and hold an LPC. I typically work with couples who are facing communication challenges and broken trust along with helping them reconnect. I work with individuals and help them to gain healthy coping skills to deal with anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem.
I love to be collaborative with clients and be intuitive to specific needs they may have in the moment. That helps clients to feel seen and understood during their healing journey.
Healing is something we all must experience but being able to trust someone you can be vulnerable with makes it so much easier.

I understand that life and relationships can feel overwhelming when we are working at it alone, sometimes that extra ear is all the support we need.
Ja'Nay Perry is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) that specializes in treating depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship problems, ASD (autism spectrum disorder) related problems, and intimacy issues. Ja'Nay has years of experience in the mental health field starting as a registered behavior technician (RBT) and later going into the counseling field. While she started off primarily working with children & adolescents, she has now expanded her focus to individual adults and couples, focusing on intimacy, communication, and relationship management.
Ja'Nay holds a Bachelor's degree in Psychology from Prairie View A&M University and a Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of North Georgia. She has built her foundation on believing that when it comes to our mental health a lot of the thoughts and feelings we experience stem from our subconscious trying to communicate that there is something that we need to tend to. Her framework is growth-oriented and client-centered.
Ja'Nay believes that it does not matter if you are little or big; when we are facing life's challenges alone, things can naturally feel like a lot. So if you are looking for a holistic approach, a non-judgmental space, and a practice rooted in collaboration/empowerment - you have found the right person.
You deserve dedicated time with a mental health professional — it can be life-changing.

Marriage counseling, also known as couples therapy and relationship counseling, helps couples work through their specific relationship issues. Thriveworks marriage counseling in Lawrenceville, GA is led by licensed professionals — often licensed marriage and family therapists (LMFTs) — who are experts in their field and best-equipped to help couples.

Marriage counseling works by helping couples identify and better navigate their unique challenges. Following an initial assessment of the couple in terms of strengths and needs, the therapist would then discuss their therapeutic goals and any possible approaches or ways of working together as therapist and couple.Couples attend sessions together, whether they meet in person or by video. In addition to regular marriage counseling sessions, each partner may also be asked to attend a few individual sessions to supplement their progress. This will allow their counselor to get to know each individual better, assess each of their personal needs, and develop the very best treatment plan moving forward.
Marriage counseling at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you and your partner.
