Elssa Kenfack
Counselor, LGPC
Verified
I work with clients to understand and resolve the psychological impact that early life experiences have on self-esteem, relationships, identity/culture, trauma, and anxiety and/or depression in the present. Through a process of identifying, understanding and evaluating emotional states, thinking and behavior patterns we eliminate and replace unproductive habits with more adaptive patterns toward an increased sense of well-being and ability to thrive and function in a variety of settings, situations and relationships. I use theoretical approaches including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), person-centered therapy and more.

Counselor, MS, LGPC, NCC

Hi, and welcome! I have worked with children and teens ages 12-19 years old, helping them to navigate challenges related to anxiety, depression, trauma, self-esteem, academics, and relationships to name a few. My therapeutic approaches are goal oriented with an emphasis on compassion, empathy and unconditional positive regard. I believe every individuals situation is unique, so I strive to personalize treatments to best match with my clients needs. I offer a warm, safe and nonjudgmental therapeutic style and place the highest importance on the counseling relationship.
Rowan Blackmon
Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, MA, LCPC
Verified
Because no two patients are alike, therapy should be tailored to each patient, rather than trying to treat everyone with the same theoretical approach. I believe that a therapist’s job is to guide the patient as they learn to change the behaviors and thinking styles that may have once been helpful, but are now getting in their way. Most importantly, I believe it is a therapist's job to teach their patients the skills necessary to eventually function independent of their therapist, allowing them to eventually leave therapy instead of being stuck with having weekly sessions for the rest of their lives!
Carrie Cornwell
Counselor, LGPC
Verified
My clients gain the ability to regulate emotions, develop emotional resilience, communicate effectively, manage conflict and reduce the frequency, intensity and duration of mood changes, worry, sadness, shame, irritability, conflict, low self esteem and more. I use CBT, DBT, Solution Focused & Trauma Focused therapies, reframing, mindfulness, validating statements, reflection of feeling and meaning and active listening. We'll explore how past experiences affect current mood, thought patterns, relationships and more and move from making decisions out of habit to making more conscious and fulfilling choices. It's scary yet doable.

Pulchery J Thelusma
Counselor, MA, NCC, LCPC
Verified
TELETHERAPY AVAILABLE. Ideally, I want to create an environment that allows my clients to find their way, learn about themselves, and grow to be leaders in their treatment. The approaches I use give clients the ability to take the initiative, evaluate and then make a plan of action. Making the decision to enter into therapy is a challenge in itself. But in the end I want to meet the client where they are at and go from there. Where applicable I use Motivational Interviewing, mindfulness, play therapy, career/coaching and other modalities in practice.

TELETHERAPY AVAILABLE. My ideal client is one who wants to make a change, or to accept what cannot change, and is willing to look at their ways of thinking, behaving, and relating to others in order to do so. I enjoy working with adults and adolescents to address mood disorders, anxiety, relationship issues, and life transitions in a supportive and non-judgmental environment.

Jasmine T. Genus, LCSW-C
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW-C
Verified
An ideal client is someone who may struggle with anxiety, depression, forming or maintaining close relationships, loss of normalcy, death of a loved one, and/or work-induced stress. Life may be so busy that they may not even have time to consider what brings joy, creativity, and inspiration. Maybe they feel overburdened by the never ending list of needs from others in their life and they just need a safe place to express themselves. Many people have professional careers, families, own property, etc. However they may feel stuck and unable to cope with unresolved grief and loss, anxiety, depression and that's where I can help.

Counselor, LCPC

My clients seek assistance when they need to change something that's not working for them, to develop self-awareness, or to better understand their own potential. If you are sad or anxious, we will find ways to overcome those difficulties. If you want your future to look different, we will see where changes need to be made today. If something in your past keeps you from being successful now, then we will focus on resolving issues from your past.

Seeking out counseling can be a difficult but rewarding first step. I ultimately want to be able to provide an environment for you to safely and effectively work towards your goals. I do not see therapy as a one size fits all approach; Rather I want to further help you understand how your unique background and history contributes to who you are as an individual, as well as integrate evidenced-based interventions into the sessions in order to meet your therapy goals.
