"Great results can follow if you allow yourself to solve difficult problems". Thank you for visiting my site! I have worked with a wide range of individuals and families in the mental health field for over 25 years. I believe every person and situation is unique and should be treated as such. Working together with a therapist you trust, you can make your life what you want it to be!

I enjoy working with individuals to enhance their feelings of self-confidence and self-empowerment to achieve their life goals. I appreciate working with couples to improve their communication with one another and help them to regain a foundation of affection and friendship. I offer family therapy to assist families in identifying their areas of conflict and family dynamics to improve their communication and cohesiveness as a family. I enjoy working with adolescents and adults to explore their life direction, increase their motivation to achieve goals, including academic goals, and to make positive decisions.

New Openings 4/1/24. I work with children and parents in need of support in dealing with a variety of child or family related challenges.

Hi, I'm Jada and I am a LCPC who works in an online setting treating a variety of conditions in adults. I am skilled in identifying and treating Anxiety, Depression, Panic Disorders, OCD, ADD/ADHD, grief, and issues related to the Family System. I would consider myself to be a sensitive and integrative counselor who cares for the health and wellbeing of every client. I encourage my clients to define their own goals throughout therapy, and I will seek to support, guide and motivate them toward change and growth. I also offer Christian based counseling to clients who wish to incorporate their faith into the therapeutic process.

I have been involved in this field since 2001 and especially enjoy working with families and loved ones of addicted and alcoholic persons. Sometimes our loved ones keep drinking and drugging no matter what we do, so we need to find new ways to deal with the situation (because this isn't working!). Let's get together, pinpoint the needs and find encouragement in a new mode of thinking!

Through individualized therapy, I help adolescents and families to achieve their goals. I work from a strengths based and trauma informed perspective. I have over a decade of experience working in the mental health field with children, adolescents and families.

Accepting new clients! My approach to therapy is relational, collaborative and in-depth.

Together, we will cultivate kindness and curiosity for your experiences, thoughts, and emotions.

CURRENTLY ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS IN PERSON AND TELEHEALTH! I provide individual therapy to adolescents and adults.

I also have a special interest in women's issues including family planning, pregnancy and postpartum.

Are you, or someone you know, struggling with life's challenges? I can assist and support individuals and families along their path of change. I offer an eclectic approach to therapy that is shaped by the needs of you or your family.

Welcome to my practice. It is important to find a comfortable place to create the changes you want in your life. I provide compassion, empathy, and openness to help create a trusting therapeutic relationship to assist in your healing process. You are the authority of your life, through collaboration I can help assist you in becoming the person you want to be.

I specialize in working with couples and families navigating ruptures and conflict in their relationships and seeking to build deeper, more meaningful connections with one another.

I work with both individuals and couples, helping people to heal from the effects of former or current destructive relationships, restore their sense of trust in themselves, and help them to experience more safety, connection and satisfaction in their lives. Even in the most painful of relationship dynamics (whether with yourself, a partner, a family member, professional relationship, etc.), there is a seed of opportunity for change for the better. Only one person has to shift in order for the entire dynamic to change.

I am an interested, active listener offering feedback and understanding in a nonjudgemental manner so that we can explore together the possibilities for change. I work cooperatively with the client to develop their goals thru problem solving. I believe our work together will provide solutions that can relieve stress and confusion.

It is natural to seek support when we feel overwhelmed, confused, fearful or depressed.The therapeutic process offers us the opportunity to build on skills that we already have in order to find relief, hope and healing. My work combines practices of narrative therapy (examining the beliefs we have about ourselves), cognitive behavioral work (paying attention to our thoughts), expressive therapy (healing through art and writing) and mindfulness exercises.

There are as many different kinds of struggles as there are people. That said, counseling can be a place to sort out confusion, find fresh perspectives, and re-energize yourself to tackle the ups and downs of your life and feel good about your actions. It's something we all can benefit from at different points in our lives. I work with teenagers, adults, and elders. My work includes couples counseling, individual counseling, and family counseling, as well as work focused on employment issues and men's issues.
