I’m Dr. Katherine (Katie) Crawford, a licensed clinical social worker with over 15 years of experience in clinical practice, social work education, and trauma-informed program evaluation. I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship concerns, life transitions, and those times when you just feel stuck or find yourself repeating patterns you’re ready to understand and change. My approach to therapy is warm, practical, and collaborative. I integrate CBT, attachment-based and relational therapy, and mindfulness, with a focus on helping you understand the connection between your experiences, relationships, thoughts, emotions, and the ways you respond to them. I’m also an EMDR-trained therapist and may incorporate EMDR when it fits your needs and goals. I believe therapy should help you better understand yourself while also giving you practical ways to handle what life brings. We’ll focus on what matters most to you, build on the strengths you already have, and work toward changes that feel meaningful and lasting.

I'm Malanne, a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker and founder of SlateCole Counseling and Consultation. I work with high-functioning women, couples, caregivers, and fellow helping professionals; the people who keep everyone else's world running while quietly running on empty themselves. My path into this work wasn't purely academic. Before opening my own practice, I spent years in child welfare, foster care, residential treatment, and school-based mental health, settings that taught me how much people can carry while still showing up, still functioning, still holding it together for everyone watching. I've also walked my own path as a wife, mother, entrepreneur, and cancer survivor, and I know firsthand what it means to keep caring for others while learning to care for yourself too. I bring that lived understanding into the room alongside my clinical training. I'm the author of 31 Days to a Merry Modern Marriage; and relational healing, whether within a marriage, a family, or a friendship with yourself, is at the center of how I practice. In session, I'm warm, direct, and practical. I don't believe therapy should feel clinical or distant, and I don't believe you have to hit a breaking point to deserve support. My approach draws on CBT, ACT, and trauma-informed care, but the real work is helping you feel less alone in what you're carrying, and giving you real tools to carry it differently, or set some of it down.

I specialize in working with clients who are motived, courageous, and open to exploring their inner world. My goal is to help others achieve their goals. As a licensed clinical social worker, I offer a warm, grounded, and collaborative space where clients can slow down, reflect, and better understand themselves. My approach is person centered and trauma-informed, with a strong foundation in cognitive behavioral and strengths based therapies. Even if clients are not quite sure what that looks like. I help clients by navigating anxiety, relationship struggles, or life transitions. Most people are overwhelmed by pressure. What they tend to want most is clarity, peace, and to feel more connected. They're seeking safe, nonjudgmental space where they can explore their thoughts freely and begin to moe toward a life that feels more aligned and intentional.

You appear calm and put together on the outside, internally you feel overwhelmed and exhausted. You've been doing everything you can to keep things together so no one notices how much you're struggling, but lately it feels harder to manage. You're doing your best to hold on, yet you worry that one more stressful situation could push you past your limit. You continue to smile, show up, and tell yourself you're okay, even when deep down you know you're not. Because you look “fine” to others, people may not realize how heavy things have become for you. You often minimize your own pain by comparing yourself to others, convincing yourself that you should just be grateful because “others have it worse.” As a result, prioritizing your emotional well-being can feel selfish or undeserved. If this describes you, and you are ready to stop overthinking, you are no longer willing to put your own needs on the backburner, you are ready to silence the inner critic, work on your personal and/or professional relationships, and you want to stop just going through the motions, we should talk. I have the credentials that every other therapist has earned, representing the commitment of a competent practitioner. However, its important to note that my caring coupled with my competence makes me who I am. I am a person of faith, wife (retired military veteran) mother, grandmother, and dog mom. I've navigated many seasons of life overcoming grief and loss, divorce, careers, the sandwich generation (caring for aging parents and small children), financial challenges, and blending a family. All the makings for stress, anxiety, and depression. During these and other dark seasons, it was the professional help holding my hand through the darkness until I could see the light again. Let's walk together to the light.

My name is Dr. Alicia Richardson, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and the founder of Heart of the Matter Counseling. I am passionate about walking alongside individuals, children, and families as they navigate life’s challenges and move toward healing, balance, and emotional well-being. I believe that meaningful change happens in safe, supportive relationships where people feel seen, heard, and valued. My counseling approach is compassionate, strengths-based, and culturally responsive. I work from the belief that each person already carries resilience within them, even during seasons of stress, transition, or emotional pain. Rather than focusing solely on problems, I help clients identify their inner strengths, nurture self-compassion, and build practical tools that support emotional regulation, healthy relationships, and overall well-being. I have specialized training and experience working with children and families, particularly in areas related to early childhood mental health, attachment, trauma, and parenting support. I also support adults who may be experiencing anxiety, stress, life transitions, or emotional overwhelm. My work is grounded in connection, collaboration, and respect for each client’s unique story, background, and values. At Heart of the Matter Counseling, my goal is to create a warm, welcoming space where clients feel safe to explore their experiences at their own pace. I view counseling as a partnership and honor each client as the expert of their own life. Together, we focus on nurturing growth, restoring hope, and supporting lasting emotional wellness—one step at a time.

Hi, I’m Ashelea, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who believes therapy should be a space where you can show up as your full, authentic self—without fear of judgment. I work with individuals ( children, teens, young adults, adults and older adults), couples, and families navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship challenges, life transitions, and those seasons when you simply feel stuck or overwhelmed. My approach is warm, honest, collaborative, and culturally responsive. I believe you are the expert on your own life, and my role is to help you better understand yourself, identify patterns that may be holding you back, and develop practical tools to move forward. I’m compassionate when you need support and willing to gently challenge you when growth requires it. Whether you’re trying to heal from something that happened years ago, navigate something happening right now, or simply become more intentional about the life you want, you don’t have to figure it all out alone. We’ll work together, one step at a time.

Hi, I am Dr. Rolanda Harris. I hold a Doctorate in Social Work and am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Alabama and Florida, as well as a Qualified Supervisor in Florida. I am the owner of Intentional Counseling and Consulting, LLC. I have 24 years of experience supporting and empowering individuals to navigate and cope with life's challenges. I am an intentional counselor who proactively plans my interactions and interventions based on a clear understanding of your situation and desired outcomes. I aim to understand your needs, strengths, and values to create a personalized plan that aligns with your goals and fosters positive change. Intention is more than wishful thinking; it is willful direction. As an intentional counselor, I have had the privilege of working with chronically and terminally ill patients and their families, supporting them as they manage the emotional, physical, mental, and spiritual impact of their illness. I have experience working with college students needing support adjusting to college life, building confidence, navigating social situations, and managing stress and anxiety. I have spent years walking with bereaved individuals as they process intense emotions, attempt to understand the grieving process, and find meaning after loss. It has been an honor to support elderly individuals managing grief, the fear of mortality and aging, adapting to retirement, addressing social isolation, and experiencing a range of mental health challenges. I have also had the pleasure of supporting single mothers as they navigate the emotional impact of motherhood, mental health issues, financial stress, and building a support system. In my practice, I do not rely solely on one specific theory, but rather draw upon different theoretical perspectives. I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), Mindfulness-Based Therapies, Reminiscence Therapy, and Grief Therapy.
