Why therapy and why now?

Maybe you're expecting or newly postpartum — everyone’s cooing at the baby while you’re quietly wondering where you went?

Maybe you're in your 20s — technically an adult, allegedly thriving, actually googling "how to know if my job is the problem or I am" at midnight while everyone else seems to have received a syllabus you never got.

Maybe the house just got quiet — the kid you organized two decades around has launched, and "you must be so proud" doesn't leave much room for "and also I don't know who I am on Tuesdays now."

Maybe you've become the caregiver — for a parent who used to take care of you, while grief shows up early and in disguise, everyone asks how they're doing, and your own mirror has started asking some questions too.

Or maybe it’s quieter than all of that — the inner critic with the megaphone, the relationships that take more than they give, the sense that joy is a thing you’ll schedule “once everything is handled.”

BETTER TOGETHER

Support groups: because some seasons shouldn’t be solo missions

Small, online, and led by me. Groups are forming now — join the interest list and you’ll be the first to know when dates are set.

FORMING NOW

Expecting Parents Boot Camp

Everything the registry checklist doesn't cover: the feelings, the fears, the relationship shifts, and an actual plan for the fourth trimester. Come curious, leave prepared — and connected to other parents due around the same time.

FORMING NOW

New Parents Group

For the sleep-deprived and freshly humbled. Real talk about the parts nobody posts — feeding struggles, identity whiplash, relationship friction, 3am doubts — with people who are living it too. Babies welcome on screen, obviously.

Janine Territo

LCSW · PMH-C · LICENSED IN NEW JERSEY + NEW YORK

ABOUT ME

I'm a licensed clinical social worker with an advanced certification in perinatal mental health (that's the PMH-C) and birth doula training — so I've supported people through this territory in more ways than one. I specialize in infertility, pregnancy, postpartum, and parenting, and I work with adults and teens navigating life's transitions: career changes, grief, divorce and separation, adoption, and every "who am I now?" in between.

In session, I draw on evidence-based approaches like mindfulness, CBT, ACT, and DBT — but my style is warm, direct, and a little irreverent, so it feels like a real conversation with real tools, not a seminar.

And some of what I know didn't come from a classroom. I'm a parent myself, with firsthand experience of adoption and blended family life. So when I say "I get it" — I mean that often quite literally.

When I'm not doing this work, you'll find me walking and playing with my dog Irwin — you may spot him behind me in session (your secrets are safe with him!) — reading everything from professional journals to beach reads, several episodes deep into a show I swore I'd only watch one of, having coffee with friends, trying a new restaurant or pizza place, or planning my next trip — near or far, I love to travel. I'm also on a standing quest to find the best ice cream.

THE PRACTICAL STUFF

Questions you may be asking

  • I'm an out-of-network provider, which means I don't bill insurance directly. Many clients get a portion of each session reimbursed through their out-of-network benefits — I'll provide a monthly superbill (a fancy receipt) to submit to your plan, and I'm happy to walk you through checking your benefits before we start. No surprises, ever.

  • Sessions are $175 for 50 minutes. Under the No Surprises Act, you're entitled to a Good Faith Estimate of costs — I'll provide one before we begin.

  • Not at all. Perinatal mental health is my certified specialty, but I work with people at many stages of life — fertility journeys, loss, and adoption; parents of toddlers through teens (and teens themselves); 20-somethings finding their footing; adults navigating divorce, separation, career changes, or caregiving; and anyone facing grief, self-esteem struggles, or a life that suddenly looks different than the plan.

  • Yes — research consistently shows telehealth works as well as in-person therapy. And it means no commute, no waiting room, and no arranging childcare (or elder care) just to talk about how exhausting arranging care is.

  • Please do, if that's what makes it possible to show up. Feeding, rocking, and mid-session diaper changes are all part of the deal. This is judgment-free airspace.

  • Book a free 15-minute consult call. We'll talk about what's going on, I'll answer your questions, and we'll both get a feel for whether we're a good fit.

You take such good care of everyone else. Your turn.

A free consult call. No commitment, no need to have it all figured out first.
