Hello! We're so glad you’re here. Seeking counseling for yourself or your loved one takes strength and compassion, and can be the first step in creating a brighter future. At Growing in Care Mental Health Counseling PLLC, we work with children, adolescents, adults, and families, and our experience includes supporting youth and adults with various diagnoses including (but not limited to), anxiety, depression, & autism. We utilize CBT and strength based approaches, while meeting clients where they are at in their growth and healing. We support with needs across settings, including school, employment, and with families.

Knowing how to support your child or adolescent when difficulties arise can feel overwhelming and daunting. Stressful life experiences and trauma can compound those feelings. Counseling can help children and their parents process these experiences and learn new ways to cope.

On life’s journey we are constantly growing and developing. Whether young or old, life is a journey that usually entail efforts of trying to understand divine will. We often question our purpose in life, especially during challenging times. To keep it real, in many cultures/communities, such as the African American (Black) community, we might have been taught to either “pray” about our situations, issues, and emotions or “suck it up and keep it moving.” This can create negative energies such as anxiety, depression, anger, guilt, and other mental health issues that need to be addressed in a healthy manner.
