Misty Williams - Online Therapist
Marriage & Family Therapist, LMFT
Verified
How long has it been since you've felt like yourself? You've continued to put on a brave face but find yourself exhausted, stressed, and defeated each day. There are moments when you question if anyone notices how hurt you are yet when they ask how you're doing, you reply with a simple "fine". You continue to work hard to help your kids, your spouse, your neighbors, work colleagues and now there is nothing left for you. It's time to change that. You are important.
Sandy L Hogins
Psychologist, PsyD
Verified
Deciding to come to therapy can be a difficult decision; one that takes courage and often comes with some anxiety and ambiguity about what the process will entail. It is my belief that the foundation for a positive experience in therapy begins with the therapeutic relationship. Establishing a base of trust and rapport from which to grow as we work towards your goals will be the initial focus of treatment. It is important for you to feel comfortable with me; I will do my best to facilitate that process and to be transparent about what you can expect from therapy.

**ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS** My speciality varies from working with individuals, military/first responders, couples experiencing relationship issues, infidelity & sexual dysfunctions. C.S Lewis said, " You can't go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending." This is my mindset for my practice when working with clients. I believe there is strength in forgiveness, that tomorrow can be better today, & relationships are resilient. Discussing intimacy, communication challenges can be overwhelming, but I do my best to bring lightness & comfort to all issues from a non-judgmental perspective.

Jerome S Blackman
Licensed Psychoanalyst, MD, FIPA, Prof
Verified
My expertise lies in helping people find causes (which are difficult to figure out alone) of emotional problems— such as anxiety, depression, work blocks, workaholism, unwanted reactions with loved ones, and inhibitions in intimate relationships. Unlike many other therapists, I take an unusual number of precautions to protect confidentiality. There is no clipboard to fill out, and patients don’t see each other leaving the office. Insurance filing is optional. During covid, I use my private home study and zoom. When needed, I can prescribe adjunctive medicine, but that’s not my primary approach.

My credentials are: Licensed Professional Therapist, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Certified Sex Addiction Therapist, and Certified Substance Abuse Counselor. I believe my most effective therapy tool is relationship building.

Jana Davis
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW, NBCCH, RRTP
Verified
Are you tired of the words 'coping skills' or 'let it go'? Would you rather talk to your dog (or perhaps a wall) than talk to a therapist? Then you may really like Jana Davis. She's not a traditional therapist. Jana is not interested in 'coping skills'. She's interested in what is holding you back, and taking care of that. The result is you feeling more like yourself, and that's a good place to be. She does this without having the client 'relive' anything. Jana knows those other therapies (EMDR, prolonged exposure, cognitive processing, and many others). She uses something MUCH faster and WITHOUT reliving.
Katherine Campbell
PRE-LPC, MS
We often wonder WHY things happen and WHY they are happening to us. I want to bridge those WHYs and help understand our choices and how we can make those choices and open up options for the betterment of life. Generational trauma, PTSD, loss of loved ones, and the feeling of hopelessness are all a part of life; assisting my clients with seeing life through a different lens would allow life to be viewed positively. I have completed my purpose.
A New Cycle Counseling Services
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Verified
My primary focus when providing counseling services is to help a client become their best versions of themselves, through person-centered services. I have found that there are many times when my clients are seeking services for the first time in their lives and there's often a bit of reticence. I am quite familiar with this feeling, as I too have sought counseling in the past. This is why I work first to establish a rapport with all of my clients, find out what it is they want to accomplish and collaborate with them to come up with an achievable treatment plan.
Julie Vogel

Verified
