Author. Therapist. Faith Dealer.

Janay Harden, LCSW is a millennial mental health therapist.  

She is the CEO of Restoring Your Destiny Counseling and Consulting LLC, a mental health agency in NJ. Janay comes with over ten years experience working in the mental health field with children, families, and schools, providing individual counseling, group counseling, and mental health workshops.

Janay's creativity and imaginative mind took shape when she spent hours reading books from her local library. Janay got lost in words and how they could be used to invoke healing and entertainment. Her love for words was homegrown; and for years she tended to her craft until they were ready for each other.

In addition to therapy, Janay is a full-time author and she uses storytelling as a therapeutic tool to promote healing and conversation. Her main focus is creating stories that empower and uplift women, and providing a safe space for readers to explore and process their own experiences and emotions. 

If you enjoy stories about melanated characters navigating love, friendships, and family, please consider sticking around while Janay makes sense of the world through her collection of words.
