Janis Edralin, LPC

Janis Edralin brings more than 18 years of clinical experience to her counseling practice in Texas. She holds a Doctorate in Philosophy in Counselor Education and Supervision - a doctoral degree focused on counselor training and supervision - and practices as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) as well as a Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor, reflecting specialized training in substance-use recovery.

Her clinical work centers on helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, motivation challenges, self-esteem concerns, and the process of recovering from substance use. She emphasizes a collaborative, empowering style that recognizes each person as the expert of their own lived experience, helping clients identify strengths, gain clarity, and pursue a meaningful, fulfilling life.

Janis has extended her commitment to the Texas counseling community through roles as an LPC mentor, adjunct professor, and graduate counseling student mentor. Her professional background includes national leadership positions, international collaboration in corporate settings, and Peace Corps service in Malawi and Mexico, all of which contribute to a multicultural and creative perspective informed by additional training at music conservatories.

Outside of her clinical work she enjoys hiking, biking, fencing, and studying literature and poetry. Her ongoing discipline from training for the 1996 Olympic Games in fencing, plus experience as a nanny and training with the American Red Cross abroad, have reinforced her dedication to service, adaptability, and human connection. Reaching out for support is a meaningful and courageous step, and Janis is prepared to walk alongside individuals as they begin their healing journey.
