ELEVATE FAMILY COUNSELING

Identify patterns

Respond differently

Change yourself

JaNae Messick, a licensed professional counselor at Elevate Family Counseling in Ashburn, VA

You want to make meaningful changes in yourself and your relationships.

I help clients slow down and observe themselves more clearly. My clients work to develop a stronger sense of who they are so they can show up intentionally in relationships instead of reacting or conforming.

Common Experiences:

You play it safe in relationships or keep people at arm’s length

You feel responsible for others’ emotions, often putting their needs ahead of your own

You know exactly what other people think, but struggle to tune into your own thoughts and make choices that reflect what you want

You overanalyze conversations and decisions, replaying what you should have said or done

Seeing things clearly takes courage. It is often easier to stay in familiar patterns where you feel justified acting in ways you don’t fully respect.

I offer a steady space where you can step back from your life, build greater awareness, and explore the patterns you are part of. In my experience, lasting change happens when people move beyond blame and begin to see how everything is connected.

Change Begins with Clarity

How it Works

You don’t have to figure it out alone—therapy is a space to sort through hard things with guidance and support

1

Get in touch

Take the first step by connecting to schedule a free consultation, which is a 15 minute phone call. I will ask a little about what you are looking for help with, and answer any questions you have. This is an important part of exploring whether this feels like the right fit for you.

2

Start your journey

In session, we’ll identify your goals and create a thoughtful, supportive path forward at a pace that feels right for you. Therapy focuses on understanding patterns in your relationships, family, and daily life. The work is collaborative—you remain in charge of what feels most important to address.

3

Change and Growth

Change is a process, not a quick fix—meaningful shifts happen as awareness increases. You may notice shifts in thinking, reactivity, and relationships before behavior changes feel automatic. Therapy helps you build the skills to respond thoughtfully in a wide range of situations.
