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.

Hi my name is Amy, and I first want to acknowledge how difficult and scary it feels to begin the process of therapy, either for the first time or starting with a new therapist. I take very seriously the enormous strength that takes and I work very hard to ensure that you feel safe and heard as we begin the therapeutic relationship. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with 15 years of experience providing counseling in both inpatient and outpatient centers. I received my Master’s degree in counseling in 2008, from Webster University. I had the privilege of working in an inpatient eating disorder facility for five years and have continued that work in outpatient settings. I have a passion for connecting with teenagers, college students and career women to build a safe place with an adult where they can voice their feelings and experiences without fear of judgement. I also especially enjoy working with young adult women as they navigate their way through the process of beginning adulthood. I have experience with a variety of issues, including depression, anxiety, eating disorders, and general women’s issue. I am especially passionate about working with CPTSD and PTSD. I have received training and supervision in working with trauma as it is a highly specialized field. Trauma survivors need validation, belief, compassion and acceptance first and foremost before a trusting relationship can be established. I have working with women exiting a toxic relationship, having endured narcissistic abuse and/or infidelity (betrayal trauma) which is many times misunderstood by well-intentioned people. My approach is warm, compassionate and highly empathetic as I work to establish a safe environment for healing to take place.

Hi, my name is Morgan. Do you ever feel that your life is nothing but a big puzzle and that some pieces are missing? You are not quite sure how to find those pieces. And if you do, you don't know where they fit. So you look for someone to help you find the pieces and hopefully, put them where they should go. It's not always an easy, but once completed, you feel whole. I was there once. At the age of 21, I decided to leave the U.S. and travel abroad by myself for 6 months. Then it was off to Central America. My eyes were wide open! I loved to experience different cultures. And my curiosity for differences never went away. A college mentor told me about the field of social work. So I got my MSW and thus began a new career. After years of working in the field and at various occupations, I decided to join DOD and become a Clinical Social Worker for the Navy. After 14 years of government work, I went into private practice. Now I'm here and I love it! It isn't everyone who can love what they do and do what they love. I'm waiting to hear from you; excited to hear your story and maybe share a little bit of mine so we can connect and build a rapport. You are the center of this journey and it is a humbling experience for me to be a part of it. I look forward to hearing from you.

My work history is colored with working with Teen Mother experiencing Crisis Pregnancy who opted to parent or place their children for adoption, assessing the Veteran population for biopsychosocial needs, and working in the educational setting as a School Therapist for Middle and High School age students. I have a love for Women, Gender & Sexuality Studies and Social Work Practice with the Elderly and have Undergrad and Graduate Certificates in both areas, respectively. While my resume and credentials may speak to my professional qualifications, I have many additional experiences that support my knowledge and cultural sensitivity. I offer a zeal for working with older teens, young adults, and women wishing to manifest change in their lives. I have worked with students struggling under social pressures and depression and have a natural knack for life skills, career guidance and helping others adjust to "Adulting." I firmly believe in the connectivity to ourselves and our environment and utilize a Systems / Strength-Based approach, focusing on what can be accomplished rather than deficits. Working as a Psychotherapist at NOLA Adulting LLC, I am able to help in bridging the gap between what formal education has taught us and life experiences. High School has prepared us for solving the quadratic equation, running a mile under 10 minutes, and understanding that in 1492 Columbus sailed the ocean blue, but we are not prepared on how to manage that feeling of emptiness we may experience post graduation and entering the workforce, setting appropriate boundaries in interpersonal relationships, or correct work email etiquette when we are fed up.

Kindly note: At this time, my practice is focused on supporting parents and families with children ages 6 and under. I am currently accepting new clients for daytime appointments only, between 10:00 AM and 3:00 PM. Thank you for your understanding. Hi there—I’m Stephanie, a mental health counselor who specializes in the early stages of parenthood (a.k.a. the “sleep-deprived, overstimulated, and constantly Googling something” years). Whether you're feeling burnt out, short-fused (been there!), or your young child is having big feelings or baffling behaviors, therapy can help you find steadier ground where you feel seen, supported, and better equipped to meet the challenges of early parenthood—without losing yourself in the process. In our work together, I support caregivers and families using a flexible, compassionate approach. That might include individual therapy for you, joint parent-child sessions, or a combination of both. If you're carrying heavy feelings—like guilt, shame, self-doubt or even unexpected rage—you're not alone, and you're not broken. Therapy can offer relief, clarity, and practical tools to support both you and your child.

Hi there, I'm Sarika Griffin, a native Floridian who transplanted to Omaha, Nebraska, three years ago. I am a daughter, sister, niece, aunt, cousin, friend, survivor of sexual/dating violence, suicide attempt survivor, and dog mom who advocates for the voiceless—at the same time, changing the stigma of mental health care in the Black/African American community. I obtained a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from the University of North Florida and a Master of Social Work from Florida State University.   Is there something you are struggling to move past something? I empower clients to become the best version of themselves after a trauma. Together we can process these past experiences and get you to a new normal. I live by the philosophy of Lena Horne's words, "It's not the load that breaks you down; it's the way you carry it." My therapy style is empowering, warm, enthusiastic, direct, and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and take the first steps toward change. I am here to support you if you are ready to take that step.

My journey to counseling has been both personal and professional. Before becoming a therapist, I spent nearly two decades working in the nonprofit world—helping people navigate challenges, systems, and life transitions. In my late 30s, I went back to school to earn my master’s degree in Counseling and Psychology from Troy University and became a Licensed Mental Health Counselor. I’ve been practicing since 2014, seeing clients in person through 2020 and virtually ever since. Along the way, I’ve experienced my own seasons of loss, grief, family challenges, and major life transitions—including surviving cancer. Those experiences gave me a deep respect for the courage it takes to ask for help and the strength required to keep moving forward. I bring that understanding into every session, creating a space that is compassionate, grounded, and genuinely human. I am licensed in both Florida and Vermont and currently offer virtual therapy for adult women who are navigating life transitions—whether building their careers, managing family responsibilities, or moving through midlife changes. I also work with clients who are struggling with symptoms like anxiety, depression, trauma, and challenges related to chronic illness. Outside of therapy, I host the Wicked Psychotherapists podcast, where I explore psychological topics through movies, pop culture, and real-world scenarios. I’m also a passionate gardener—both for fun and as a way to explore mindfulness, growth, and healing. I am licensed in both Florida and Vermont, and practice 100% virtual therapy.
