I’m Jan Butze, a Licensed Professional Counselor in Georgia, Certified Professional Counselor Supervisor, and owner of Pathways Therapy Center. I work with individuals, couples, and families across the lifespan, tailoring therapy to each client’s needs, strengths, and goals. I believe meaningful therapeutic work begins with a strong, trusting relationship. My approach is collaborative and personalized—not one-size-fits-all. Together, we explore your experiences, patterns, core beliefs, relationships, and values to develop a deeper understanding of yourself and identify the changes you want to make. I take a whole-person, wellness-focused approach, considering how different areas of your life connect. Our work may include building coping skills, exploring difficult emotions, strengthening communication, or developing new ways to respond to everyday challenges. My primary specialties are grief, anxiety, and coping skills. I also support clients navigating depression, stress, self-esteem concerns, relationship and family conflict, parenting challenges, school difficulties, and life transitions. I specialize in incorporating play and art therapy techniques, offering creative opportunities for expression alongside conversation. Depending on your needs, I draw from person-centered, Adlerian, attachment-based, and cognitive behavioral approaches, as well as mindfulness, narrative work, schema-informed techniques, and dialectical behavior therapy skills.
