(she/her)
Hello, my name is Beverly Little, and I am a licensed professional counselor with eight years of experience working with adults. I specialize in supporting individuals who are navigating anxiety, depression, grief, and other mental health challenges. My approach to therapy is warm, supportive, and practical. I use evidence-based methods like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy to help you better understand your thoughts, manage emotions, and build skills that support lasting change. I strive to create a welcoming, non-judgmental space where you can feel safe to share openly. Together we will work at your pace to explore what's been weighing on you and identify steps that help you feel more balnced, confident, and in control of your life.
In our first session, we will take time to get to know each other and talk about what brought you to therapy. You will have the opportunity to share your concerns, ask questions, and discuss what you hope to gain from our work together. My goal is to help you feel comfortable, heard, and supported from the very beginning. We will begin identifying goals that feel meaningful to you and talk about how we can move forward in a way that feels manageable and helpful.
I bring empathy, compassion, and a genuine desire to understand your experience. I am an attentive listener who values creating a space where you feel respected and accepted. I also take a flexible and individualized approach to therapy. This means I tailor each session to your unique needs, helping you find practical strategies that work for your specific situation. My goal is to help you feel comfortable being open while also supporting you in making meaningful progress.
If you are an adult struggling with common mental health conditions such as anxiety, depression, addictions, or complex diagnoses, or whether you are going through specific life situations, please allow me to help you overcome the challenges you face. I can provide a safe, engaging, and competent therapeutic environment in which you feel heard and understood.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
CBT is effective in treating a wide range of conditions including anxiety, Bipolar Disorder, depression, panic attacks, personality disorders, PTSD, and phobias. CBT focuses on thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and how they interact. In practice, therapist and patient work together to reframe problematic thoughts which improves emotional well-being and reduces problematic behaviors.
Person-centered (Rogerian)
Person-centered therapy emphasizes the client's needs and preferences and values in care and support. It fosters a collaborative and holding environment that respects autonomy and promotes well-being. In practice I will place the individual at the heart of all decisions and actions related to their care. As a person you are the expert in your care.
