Welcome! I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor who believes that everyone deserves a safe space to be heard, understood, and supported. Through my private practice, JMN Oasis Counseling, LLC, I provide compassionate, nonjudgmental therapy for adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, stress, relationship concerns, life transitions, and other challenges. JMN Oasis Counseling, LLC. has a deeply personal meaning to me. The letters JMN represents three deceased loved ones who were near and dear to my heart—my brother, father, and mother. Their lives and the impact they had on me continue to remind me of the importance of showing up for others, especially during difficult seasons of life. My approach is warm, genuine, and collaborative. I believe therapy is not about telling you what to do; it is about helping you better understand yourself, identify what is holding you back, develop healthier coping strategies, and discover the strength you already possess.

I’m a licensed therapist and the founder of MindfulWayz and The Sanctuary, where I offer a warm, steady, emotionally spacious environment for adults navigating overwhelm, trauma, anxiety, and nervous‑system strain. My work is grounded in presence, curiosity, and respect for each person’s lived experience. I hold space without urgency, without pressure, and without the expectation to move faster than your system is ready for. I work slowly and collaboratively, honoring each person’s pace and the wisdom of their internal timing. My approach weaves somatic awareness, gentle reflection, and mindful pacing to support clients in reconnecting with their inner steadiness and creating a more compassionate relationship with themselves. I integrate trauma‑informed stabilization, parts‑oriented exploration, and nervous‑system regulation practices in ways that feel accessible and choice‑based. Clients often come to me during seasons of transition, exhaustion, or emotional overload — moments when old strategies no longer feel supportive and something quieter, steadier, and more sustainable is needed. Together, we explore what feels tender, what feels possible, and what feels ready, allowing your system to guide the process. My intention is to offer a therapeutic space that feels grounding, inclusive, and deeply respectful of your humanity. A space where you can soften, breathe, and move at a pace that feels safe for your body, your story, and your unfolding.

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 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.

I am a graduate of Liberty University with two master’s degrees. My Master’s of Religion and Christian Leadership allows me to help people navigate spiritual concerns, and my Master’s of Professional Counseling allows me to better help others discover insight into their lives and how to develop holistic, working solutions. I went back to school for these programs after getting married and having kids, so I’m no stranger to stress. I have been working in the counseling environment providing services in a variety of settings for over 14 years and have been a licensed counselor since 2015. I believe therapy should provide more than a place to talk, it should equip you with practical tools to create meaningful, lasting change. I work predominately with adult males experiencing anxiety, chronic stress, burnout, depression, and major life transitions, helping them better understand the patterns that keep them feeling overwhelmed and develop healthier ways to respond. My approach is collaborative, evidence-based, and tailored to your individual goals, creating a supportive environment where you can build resilience, improve emotional well-being, and move forward with greater confidence. I would love to be invited into your story!

I work with adults who feel stuck, burned out, or disconnected from themselves and are ready to look honestly at what's not working in their lives. Most of the people I see are juggling demanding careers, family responsibilities, or both, and have been pushing through anxiety, low mood, or chronic overwhelm for longer than they'd like to admit. The work I'm most drawn to: anxiety, depression, burnout, life transitions, women's issues, and the patterns that keep us stuck.

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.

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.

Finding a provider with a similar life experience can be beneficial because it can be easier to establish rapport and potentially be understood quicker and clearer.

Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs. Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center.Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal! Coming prepared with a list of questions for your therapist may help. Remember, you're taking a brave step by seeking therapy, and it is okay to be nervous as you try something new.
