I am an LPC who is best positioned to serve children, adolescents, adults, and families who are experiencing emotional, behavioral, and relational challenges, particularly those involved in high-stress systems. I have extensive experience working with trauma-exposed youth, parenting stress, and complex family dynamics, I am well equipped to support clients who may feel overwhelmed, misunderstood, or resistant to traditional therapy approaches.

My style is gently directive: I offer clear guidance and structure while inviting clients to explore and uncover the profound wisdom, resilience, and worth—the true “gold”—that resides within their own hearts. Often, this inner treasure lies buried beneath the wounds and pain carried from childhood. Together, we engage in the courageous, transformative work of healing those early hurts, fostering a deeper sense of wholeness so clients can live and relate from a full, healthy, and integrated heart.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and Certified Addictions Counselor whose work is rooted in truth, love, and compassion. With nearly 15 years of experience in behavioral health, I bring a grounded, human-centered approach to therapy—one that honors the whole person, not just the symptoms. My clinical philosophy centers on helping individuals return to their authentic selves by exploring identity, emotional truth, and the stories that shape their lives. I integrate trauma-informed care, co-occurring disorder expertise, and evidence-based modalities with a deep respect for each person's lived experience. Whether addressing anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use, or life transitions, I aim to create a therapeutic environment built on safety, curiosity, and genuine connection. My belief is that healing happens when people feel seen, supported, and empowered to step into their truth. My mission is simple: to help individuals navigate life with clarity, courage, and compassion—one conversation at a time.

Feeling disconnected from yourself or the life you’re living? I support clients seeking deeper self-understanding and liberation from patterns and identities that no longer serve them. In a compassionate, collaborative, and affirming space, we explore healing and empower you to create a life that feels aligned, authentic, intentional, and alive. I prioritize communication that is open and self-expressive. I listen deeply, reflect what I hear, and offer feedback that supports insight and growth. This is a space where you don’t have to filter yourself, your voice and lived experience are welcome. What matters most to you shapes our work. Together, we define your aspirations and translate them into meaningful, tangible change. Our focus is on integrating growth into your daily life so that transformation is not just understood, but embodied. You may notice that some sessions are held off video or in a hybrid format. This is an intentional part of how I practice. As a neurodivergent clinician, not always being on video allows me to be more fully present, attuned, and grounded in the work. Many clients find this creates a more comfortable space to show up openly and authentically. That said, I aim to meet clients where they are, and we can always discuss what session format feels most supportive for you.

When you contact me, we will establish a plan to address your needs.

I specialize in holding space for the deep-thinkers and cycle-breakers, the individuals who have spent a lifetime looking inward and dismantling generational patterns, yet still feel the friction of a world demanding 'more' at the expense of 'being.' My approach combines a lifelong passion for psychology and therapeutic processes with a multicultural, spiritually grounded worldview. As a mother, a doctoral candidate, and a business owner, I don't just teach boundaries; I live them. I am a 'Keturah-sized' bridge in the wellness gap for those who have cycled through therapists searching for a peer who truly sees them.

Hello! My name is Cetara, and I am deeply passionate about working with women who have experienced trauma and are ready to reclaim joy, confidence, and a sense of wholeness in their lives. It takes courage to slow down and examine the experiences that have shaped you. Often, unresolved trauma weaves itself into our present lives—impacting how we react, our ability to be vulnerable, how we communicate, our expectations, physical health, and, most importantly, how we see ourselves. My path into counseling began when I recognized the impact of trauma in my own family and felt called to help others break these cycles. I believe that when one individual heals, it can open the door to freedom and healing for an entire family system. I bring a strong background in community mental health, with experience supporting individuals living with severe and persistent mental illness, including Bipolar Disorder and Schizophrenia. I have also worked extensively with survivors of sexual abuse, intimate partner violence, gun violence, and individuals navigating grief and loss. In addition, I support clients experiencing co-occurring disorders, chronic pain, physical health challenges, depression, anxiety, low self-worth, relationship difficulties, and a wide range of women’s issues. If you are ready to do the work, I am ready to walk alongside you in healing. I look forward to meeting you and being part of your journey toward growth and restoration.

I am not your typical therapist as I started my career in finance and have an undergrad in Business. While I could succeed in this path, I did not find meaning in it. I see becoming a therapist as a calling and not a vocation. I first worked in acute mental health as an advocate, then as an addiction counselor, and eventually after receiving my MSW as a dual diagnosis therapist. I have much empathy for the hurting and have always been drawn to those who have suffered from mental illness, addiction, and the effects of trauma. As such, I have been a mental health advocate, addiction therapist, mental health therapist, trauma therapist, psychiatric director, and behavioral health COO. I feel like I have seen all levels of behavioral health care and use that wealth of experience, resources, and specialized training to help others. I believe that compassion and empathy are keys to change and try my very best to meet you where you are. I also value diversity and have worked with a wide range of the problems that individuals and couples struggle with. Most of all, I am not a respecter of persons and have worked with the homeless to the CEOs of major corporations. I feel that we are all just humans and that we all struggle with similar challenges and problems. I have also worked with a great diversity of people from very diverse cultures and many international clients.

Whether you’re navigating personal challenges, family conflict, or mandated treatment, we offer a professional, supportive space where growth and healing can take place. For those interested in in-person sessions, these are available by appointment only. Before meeting in person, we first conduct three initial assessments to understand your needs and develop a tailored treatment plan—ensuring your time with us is purposeful and productive. To make therapy more accessible, we’ve partnered with Grow Therapy, a trusted platform that manages insurance billing and referrals. While The Listening Room LLC is independently owned and operated, Grow Therapy helps streamline access to care by handling the administrative side—so we can focus on delivering quality mental health services and truly listening to you.

My goal is to help my clients uncover their innate resiliency that will help them meet the life challenges before them. I will help my clients reach the unique goals that contribute to mental wellness.
