#10: Janelle Martin, Author and LPC

Janelle Martin, LPC-Associate, LCDC, IASIS Certified Provider, The Mind Connection

 

Janelle grew up in rural northeast Iowa in a large blended family. As a new bride and a college graduate, she moved to Houston, Texas. Ready to experience her new big city life, she enjoyed it from the moment she arrived! However, once her son and daughter were born, she moved them to the country, raising them in a similar fashion to her own upbringing.

 

Professionally, her life’s path has taken many twists and turns throughout the years; geneticist, stay at home mom, entrepreneur, fitness class instructor, mortgage underwriter, gym owner and accounting/business manager. In her downtime, she scrapbooks, reads, or travels, always ready to learn something new. 

 

Her current professional life evolved after her daughter’s addiction and recovery. She owns a holistic mental health practice and works as a licensed counselor. She is an IASIS MicroCurrent Neurofeedback Provider, helping clients improve their quality of life. Her passion is working with families affected by addiction. Facilitating PAL support group meetings each week for other parents who are struggling is her new favorite role. 

 

Her many life experiences have brought her to a place where she feels it’s time to share some of what she’s learned along the way. In years past, she recalls thanking God for what she perceived as a pretty easy life. Easy didn’t last long. 

 

Today, she thanks Him for pushing her out of her comfort zone, refining her faith, and showing her where she can be of service to others. 

 

Her most recent accomplishments include a collaboration book titled “Rising Above, Stories of Overcoming” and her own book titled “Losing Her, Finding Us” to be released soon!
