Are you finding it hard to enjoy the things you love, like school, hobbies, or because of your anxiety? Do you feel like your anxiety is getting in the way of your relationships, and causing physical symptoms like headaches or stomachaches? The good news is that with the right support and tools, you can learn to manage your anxiety and start living a more fulfilling life. I know how important it is to feel like your therapist is on your side and understands what you're going through. When you're struggling with anxiety, it can feel like no one else really gets it.

I am first, a client-centered therapist. I believe therapy should be about the client and be met with unconditional positive regard. There is no place for judgment in therapy, and I am here to help you process and make your own decisions, not to tell you what to do.

I work with adults and couples who experience depression, anxiety, PTSD, Dissociative Disorders, difficulty relating to others or dissatisfaction with life; particularly second half of life issues, divorce, co-parenting, traumatic events, changing careers, empty nest syndrome, retirement, grief and loss, who want to feel better about themselves and their relationships.

I am an experienced psychotherapist who enjoys working with clients who are motivated to make positive changes in their life. I use a client centered approach to help clients feel comfortable enough to be able to work through their issues. I also use a strength based approach when working with clients, to help clients find the strength within themselves to make the positive changes they desire. I strongly believe that the relationship between client and counselor is vital to bring about positive change.

Hello! My name is Myranda Hardy, I am a licensed clinical social worker with a genuine passion for empowering individuals to live their lives to the fullest. In doing so, I have helped hundreds of people have a deeper sense of connection to their lives and have allowed them to create better relationships and happiness. I have helped people increase their self-compassion, lower anxiety and depression levels, and assist people in a wide variety of adaptive coping skills. When people feel stuck, I have worked with them on gaining traction in their lives and helping them to have fulfilling experiences.

Imagine a utopian world where everything always glitters, relationships are easy, work is perpetually fulfilling, fear doesn’t exist, and you graciously welcome every single unexpected situation life throws your way with a wide grin and open arms. Now, open your eyes and keep reading since we both know that isn’t reality. One of my personal values is authenticity and this doesn’t disappear in the room with you. While I can’t promise a life filled with unicorns and rainbows, I can ensure you our time together will be filled with sincerity, support, and likely a bit laughter.

Are you ready to heal from PTSD, trauma, grief, anxiety or depression? Are you tired of feeling overwhelmed and stressed out? Life can throw us curveballs which can leave us sad, unmotivated, and heartbroken. Loved ones can leave us, relationships end, and life can sometimes be difficult. I believe that even though bad things happen, we can heal and have good lives. I help my clients to work toward finding solutions and skills so that they can find happiness after traumatic events. Life is too short to be sad, anxious, and depressed. You deserve to feel good about yourself!

I believe that people have the knowledge and the power to change their lives. Person centered counseling provides unconditional positive regard and validation in order to give people the space and the support they need to make their own changes in their own time.

What would it be like to be able to say no and not have it come with a side of guilt? A life where you only say yes to the tasks, responsibilities, and people that matter most to you? I’ve been there and I can help. I work to help people who struggle to set healthy boundaries with people in their lives, or often need to feel angry or frustrated before they are able to say “no”. This process of learning often feels difficult and one of my passions is helping people identify what is keeping them stuck in the old patterns, discover what they value and who they want to be, then commit to achieving a life that feels worth living.

Healing is the process of becoming well again. I help my clients heal through overcoming life’s challenges and regaining the strength required to move forward. I am dedicated to helping and empowering others. I provide psychoeducation and therapeutic advocacy, delivering well-rounded support to all individuals effected by the various struggles of life. Change is scary and, at times, difficult; however it is possible and effective in developing a happier, healthier you.

My aim as your counselor is to provide a safe, non-judgmental space where you feel heard & validated. I help my clients identify their unique needs & seek to empower them with tools that work for them to address those needs. I enjoy working with clients of all ages, from children to older adults, and have special experience working with older adults (60+), as well as experience as an advocate for survivors of interpersonal violence, sexual assault, & stalking. I also offer sessions via video calls through a secure provider. I'm passionate about helping my clients tap into their own strengths & resources, and access greater wellness!

As a counselor, my mission is to promote growth and development for my clients. It is important that my clients understand the true meaning of resiliency and believe in their abilities. I currently work with children, adolescents and adults who are struggling to manage difficult emotions due to anxiety, depression and life stressors/transitions.

My experience over the past 20 years as a spiritual care provider and an addictions counselor influences how I view grief, trauma, and healing. I understand how being human can be a struggle and the experiences through stages of life and other transitions are not always in our control. A compassionate presence has a significant impact to ease the overwhelm and distress that are natural during these times. I trust that as we learn to navigate and unwind traumatic experiences, we will also create new sustainable conditions to live with a greater sense of understanding and wellbeing.

I help people feel better about their lives and relationships. In my 20 years as a therapist it has been gratifying to help my clients overcome depression and anxiety. In using a trauma treatment called Brain Spotting has been meaningful to me in helping people process and over-come significant traumas. I also specialize in couples therapy helping people move from conflict to resolution while developing the skills to feel more pleasure and connected in their relationship. Finally, I specialize in helping adolescents (ages 12 up) gain skills and confidence to be successful in school and peer / adult relationships.

As a mental health therapist, addiction counselor, and certified life coach, my primary focus is on creating a therapeutic environment that fosters trust, comfort, and confidentiality. Building trust with my clients is foundational to the healing process, and I approach this with a commitment to being nonjudgmental and person-centered. I understand that each individual’s journey is unique, and I meet clients where they are, offering empathy, respect, and genuine care. With strict confidentiality, clients can feel confident that their therapeutic journey is a private and safe space.
