Facing & accepting experiences in life is a process that is often challenging & requires time & an emotional & mental investment.

Hello! My name is Bree Porter, LMHC. I have a strong passion for working with individuals, children, and couples. I value working with sensitivity for families of divorce, co-parenting struggles, and family conflict. If you grew up in a dysfunctional family or experienced abuse or neglect at any age, I have the compassion, understanding, and commitment to working with you. I will provide you with the support to help understand and work through the impact these experiences have on your life today. Common concerns that clients address in counseling include personal, emotional, professional, and relationship issues, among many others.

I am passionate about working to increase self-esteem, change the negative voices, and heal the past. We can discover ways to support yourself better and create happiness. Are you open to using less traditional forms of therapy to attain your goals? I work with you to find your happiness, joy and excitement again. I use a holistic approach. I help you listen to your body and emotions to find out what you need. I work intuitively in addition to the modalities I trained with. We will work on changing limiting beliefs and creating confidence so you can create the life you want. I enjoy empowering women to live your best life.

I specialize in working with a wide population of people from children into latter life. I do my best to create a safe atmosphere for clients to process their pain and work through problems. I am motivated by compassion and love for people as I work with everyday life concerns, behavioral issues, life transitions, anxiety, depression, life skills, complicated relationships, grief, couples, spiritual concerns, and Christian faith. Ultimately, I seek to help people find true inner healing instead of just treatment.

Is it time to start a partnership with a counselor? We believe that counseling isn't just for those who are hurting, but that anyone can benefit from an ongoing counseling or life coaching process. In fact, many of our clients are successful individuals and couples who know that everyone has the potential to grow. When a client comes to us for counseling, we strive to provide the client with skills and tools for making and maintaining significant life changes. Because of this, our clients tend to experience a positive difference in their moods, lives, and relationships quickly.

Have life transitions or events left you feeling anxious, depressed, and/or unsure of your direction? Has trauma interfered with your decision making? Whether past trauma, a current transition, or a disturbing event has left you unable to cope, you don't have to go it alone. You do have the strength to overcome the obstacles, and asking for help is not a weakness. I work with young, middle-age, and older adults experiencing transitional and relational difficulties as well as trauma related issues. I'll take a person centered approach to help you define your direction, set your goals, and develop a plan to achieve them.

We believe that a comfortable and trusting therapeutic environment paves the way for you to identify and overcome the sources of difficulty and pain in your life. Our goal is to create a safe, non-judgmental, and supportive place for healing.
