Hi! Welcome, and thank you for choosing Your Journey to Healing, PLLC for your therapeutic support. 💙 I want to let you know that while I am currently receiving referrals through Grow Therapy, But I am not personally accepting new clients for ongoing sessions at this time. However, I have seven clinicians within my group practice who are currently accepting new clients and are available to provide therapeutic support.

Whatever challenges you’re facing, you don’t ever have to face them alone. 💡 As a therapist, my greatest strengths are rooted in empathy, deep listening, and creating a safe, judgment-free space where you can truly be yourself.

With your permission to proceed, the information you provided through Grow Therapy will be shared with one of our available clinicians so that they can reach out to you and get you scheduled for your sessions. We will do our best to connect you with a clinician who is a good fit for your needs. Welcome to Your Journey to Healing, PLLC ✨ Hi, I’m Varissa Owens, MA, MS, LPC-S, NCC. I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor who believes therapy should be a space where you can be honest, heard, and accepted without judgment. I earned my Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling as well as a Master’s degree in Human Services, and I have provided counseling services to individuals, couples, and families. My work focuses on helping clients navigate anxiety, depression, grief and loss, relationship concerns, life transitions, self-esteem, attachment patterns, and emotional challenges that can make it difficult to feel like yourself. I especially enjoy helping clients understand the connection between their thoughts, emotions, relationships, and behaviors so they can create meaningful and lasting change. I recognize that reaching out for therapy can feel vulnerable. My goal is to create a supportive environment where you can show up as you are and work at a pace that feels comfortable while still making meaningful progress.

First session

✨ In our first session, my priority is building a genuine connection and creating a space where you feel comfortable opening up. I’ll take the time to truly listen to your story, learn about your background, and understand what you hope to gain from therapy. Together, we’ll outline clear goals and design a personalized roadmap for your growth. This is your safe space to share, reflect, and take the first steps toward meaningful, positive change.

Strengths

As a therapist, my greatest strengths are rooted in empathy, deep listening, and creating a safe, judgment-free space where you can truly be yourself. I tailor each session to your unique needs, bringing a genuine commitment to understanding your perspective and working alongside you as a partner in growth. Together, we’ll tap into your strengths, navigate life’s challenges, and cultivate lasting positive change.

Treatment methods

I enjoy using an eclectic therapeutic approach to meet the client’s individual and direct needs. My primary therapeutic interventions include using evidence-based practice skills to incorporate cognitive-behavioral therapy, mindfulness and motivation

I was seeking a black woman who understand me, my culture, and my experiences. Luckily I was able to find exactly that. She has a very calming presence that allows me to take the floor, open up, and dive into my experiences. With Varissa I feel heard, seen, and validated and I appreciate her very much!!

She's so much more then the two traits I was allowed to pick above. She's obviously intelligent, she's also empowering, solutions oriented, authentic, warm, and humorous. I look forward to our next session.

Ms. Owens and I connected while she was working with a prior agency. She’s employed with a new agency and I wanted to continue therapy with her because I’m very comfortable with her.
