Who we are

Hello, my fellow Livers-I am Dr. Janoc Vance, the Founder and CEO of Living is a Lifestyle, LLC. I have dedicated my life to humanitarian and philanthropic work as a vessel to strengthen and empower people to be the proudest versions of themselves, as well as help build healthy communities. Coming from a background as a professional in the Performing Arts and Entertainment industries, I later discovered an extension of my purpose within the Arts. I then realized the Arts was used to guide me to a merging of passions, The Behavioral Arts.

After receiving formal training and an undergraduate degree in Theatre Arts with a Minor in Dance, although not envisioning myself as a scholar, I re-entered the academic world to further nurture my purpose through graduate studies. I now hold a Master’s in Clinical Psychology/MFT, concluding with a Doctorate in Psychology/PsyD-MFT, a Clinical Doctor of Psychology. I specialize in working with adults and families dealing with dual diagnoses with a niche focus on music industry professionals through evidence-based, integrative and holistic methods. I am also a clinical consultant for film/script writers and character development.

I have had the pleasure of working with human beings in all walks of life, and with an array of cultures, to include working with and alongside esteemed music professionals, as their Clinical Coach, Mental Health Expert, Advocate, and Mental Health Project/Campaign Consultant. To have worked with the philanthropic arm of the Recording Academy/Grammy’s Organization, as their Senior Director of Mental Health and Addiction Recovery Services is one of the many blessings in my professional journey. All of this serves as proof that passion and purpose can align, and what turning living into a lifestyle embodies.

My ultimate goal is to journey people to become self-empowered while dually community embracing.
