About Experience Courage

Welcome!

I am so glad you are here. My name is Janet Nordine, and if you have come to this page seeking a therapist who will listen without judgment, my promise to you is that I will always strive to see you with compassion and acceptance.

Are you ready to communicate your needs authentically? Are you ready to feel again? Are you wanting to have a deeper connection with yourself and with others? 

If so, I hope to be able to support you along your journey. As a Client-Focused Therapist, I am here to support you to be able to make real and meaningful connections in your life.

We can do hard things…. together!
