Welcome to Growth Point Counseling!
Telehealth Therapy vs. In-Person Therapy
At Growth Point Counseling, therapy is about creating a supportive space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to grow. Whether we meet virtually or in person, my goal is to help you navigate life's challenges and work toward meaningful change. Choose the setting that best fits your needs and lifestyle.
Telehealth Therapy
Telehealth therapy offers a convenient and effective way to receive support from the comfort of your own space. Through secure video sessions, I work with clients across Alabama to explore concerns, build coping skills, and work toward personal growth.
Convenient and accessible: Attend sessions from home or another private location without traveling to an office.
Available across Alabama: Access therapy virtually from locations throughout the state.
Private and confidential: Participate in sessions through secure video technology in a space where you feel comfortable.
Flexible and supportive: Save travel time while building a meaningful therapeutic relationship focused on your goals.
In-Person Therapy
In-person therapy provides an opportunity to meet face-to-face in a welcoming, private office environment in Madison, Alabama. Meeting in person may feel more comfortable if you prefer a dedicated space away from everyday distractions.
A welcoming environment: Meet in a comfortable office designed to support conversation and reflection.
Face-to-face connection: Engage directly with your therapist and benefit from in-person interaction and nonverbal communication.
A dedicated space for you: Step away from daily responsibilities and focus on your thoughts, feelings, and goals.
Individualized support: Work collaboratively to explore challenges, develop coping strategies, and make meaningful changes.
Which Option Is Right for You?
Both telehealth and in-person therapy offer opportunities for personal growth, emotional wellness, and support through life's challenges. The best choice is the one that feels comfortable and works for your circumstances, preferences, and needs.
You don't have to have everything figured out before getting started. I'm here to help you explore your options and take the next step toward healing and growth.

Janene Yost, LPC NCC
A collaborative approach to meaningful growth.
Starting therapy can feel like a big step. My goal is to create a welcoming, supportive space where you feel heard, respected, and comfortable exploring the challenges you're facing.
I'm Janene Yost, a Licensed Professional Counselor in Alabama and a National Certified Counselor. I bring more than 17 years of experience in social services, including over 10 years in mental health therapy.
I work collaboratively with teens and adults to navigate concerns such as anxiety, depression, stress, and life transitions. My approach emphasizes your individual strengths, practical coping skills, and meaningful changes that support your well-being. I draw on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused approaches to help you work toward your goals.
I also provide affirming therapy for LGBTQIA2S+, Autistic, ADHD, and disabled communities.
You don't need to have everything figured out before you begin.
We'll work together to identify what matters to you and determine the next steps at a pace that feels manageable.
