About Us — Symmetricly | Marriage Counseling in Smyrna, GA
Our Story

Love is what we do.
Helping you do it better
is our purpose.

We’re not just a therapy practice. We’re a relationship-centered ecosystem built to help you navigate every stage of love — with clarity, honesty, and real support.

Sound Familiar?

When relationships struggle,
everything does.

Your relationships don’t just affect your home life. They shape how you sleep, how you work, how you see yourself. When something is off between you and the people you love — or between you and yourself — it touches everything.

And most of the time, we don’t even realize our relationship patterns are running on autopilot.

That’s where we come in.

Tired of having the same argument over and over
Wondering if your relationship can actually recover
Feeling disconnected, misunderstood, or just… off
Trying to move forward after a breakup or divorce
Doing everything “right” but still not feeling the love you want
What We Do

Support at every stage of love.

Most therapy focuses on symptoms. We focus on how those symptoms show up in your relationships — and what to do about it. Wherever you are in your journey, we meet you there.

Dating & Readiness

Building healthy habits before you’re deep in it

Premarital & Early Relationships

Starting with a strong foundation

Marriage & Long-Term Partnerships

Deepening connection and repairing drift

High-Conflict & Infidelity

Navigating the hardest moments in a relationship

Separation, Divorce & Healing

Closing one chapter with clarity and intention

Life Transitions

Parenthood, grief, illness — when life changes everything

Because the truth is: most therapy focuses on symptoms.
We focus on how those symptoms show up in your relationships — and how to heal that.

LOVE
Living Openly, Vibrantly, and Effectively
Our Philosophy

Healthy relationships aren’t about perfection.
They’re about alignment.

A lot of people think love is supposed to just “work.” But real love requires awareness, communication, accountability, and growth. That’s why everything we do is rooted in one belief:

Living

Showing up fully — not performing, not hiding, not surviving. Actually living in your relationships.

Openly

With honesty, vulnerability, and the courage to say what’s actually true — even when it’s hard.

Vibrantly

Not settling. Not coasting. Building relationships that actually feel alive and meaningful.

Effectively

With tools that work in real life — not just in the therapy room, but in every conversation that matters.

When you understand yourself better, you stop repeating the same cycles in love.

The Founder

Built from experience,
not just expertise.

Symmetricly was founded by Janelle Dawsey — Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, speaker, author, and relationship strategist. But her path here wasn’t linear.

“People weren’t just struggling with anxiety, depression, or stress. They were struggling with how those things were showing up in their relationships.”

After years of working with individuals and couples — and navigating her own experiences with love and loss — Janelle kept seeing the same gap: most practices treat the symptom. She wanted to build something that treats the root. Something that addresses how everything — stress, trauma, life transitions, personal history — ultimately shows up in the way we love.

So she built Symmetricly. A practice that doesn’t just help you feel better. One that helps you relate better, communicate better, and choose better — every day, in every relationship that matters to you.

Her approach is direct, compassionate, and grounded in reality. Because healing doesn’t happen in theory. It happens in how you show up.

Why Symmetricly

A lot of therapy gives you space to talk.
We give you space to transform.

Here’s what makes us different — and why it matters for your healing.

Relationship-First Approach

We look at how everything — stress, trauma, life transitions — shows up in your relationships. Not just how it makes you feel individually.

Real-World Application

This isn’t just insight. We give you tools and patterns you can change in real time — in real conversations, with real people.

Support at Every Stage

From dating to divorce, we meet you exactly where you are. No stage of love is too early or too complicated for us.

Individual + Couples Focus

Sometimes the relationship needs work. Sometimes you do. Most of the time, both. We’re equipped for all of it.

Honest Conversations

We won’t sugarcoat what’s not working. But we’ll help you fix it — with directness, compassion, and no judgment.

Licensed & Experienced

Our team of licensed therapists brings deep expertise across couples, individuals, families, and every relationship stage.

Not every relationship is meant to be saved.
But every person deserves to heal.

We don’t believe in staying just to say you stayed. Success in a relationship isn’t about how long it lasts — it’s about how healthy it is.

Healthy love
Honest decisions
What’s actually right for you
Take the Next Step

Wherever you are in your journey,
we’re here to meet you there.

Whether you’re trying to fix what’s broken, figuring out what’s next, or learning how to love in a healthier way — you don’t have to do it alone.

“When things go left — we help you make it right.”
