To overcome a disability that occurred in 1999 and severely damaged my spinal cord, I began to build a stronger relationship with God. Although I was bound to a wheelchair, this relationship did not bind me to depression and anger and gave me what I needed to live through my daily struggles. In turn, I felt encouraged to gain medical and spiritual knowledge to help others achieve this same triumph. Through years of practice and sharing testimony, I have been able to touch many and be changed in the same way through each experience. I not only aim to help people put their pieces together, but look to be touched as well by their stories and refine my own pieces as well. Faith-building exercises such as gratitude, encouragement, self-love, and confidence building are rooted in my practice for a happier and healthier you. The spiritual exercises that have helped me during my process were prayer, meditation, reading scriptures, and discussing my concerns with God-fearing counselors.

Hi, I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), and I believe therapy should be a place where you can show up as yourself, without judgment or pressure to have everything figured out. Life can be complicated, overwhelming, and sometimes downright frustrating. You don't have to navigate those challenges alone. I work with individuals experiencing addiction, anger, anxiety, depression, self-esteem concerns, and life transitions. Whether you're struggling with difficult emotions, feeling stuck in unhealthy patterns, or adjusting to unexpected changes, my goal is to help you better understand yourself and discover healthier ways to move forward. My therapeutic style is warm, straightforward, and collaborative, with a little humor when appropriate. I believe meaningful growth comes from honest conversations, self-reflection, and sometimes being willing to see things from a different perspective. I'll listen, support you, and validate your experiences, but I'll also challenge you when needed. Sometimes growth requires stepping outside your comfort zone, and I'll be there to support you through that process. I incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and supportive therapy into my work. I don't believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. Together, we'll identify your goals, recognize your strengths, explore patterns that may be holding you back, and develop practical strategies you can use in everyday life. Therapy isn't about being perfect or having all the answers. It's about understanding yourself, making intentional choices, and learning how to navigate life's challenges with greater confidence and resilience. My goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable being honest, asking questions, laughing when appropriate, and celebrating your progress. You don't have to know exactly where you're going to take the first step. We'll figure out the direction together.

I truly saw the need for more mental health professionals in my community when I lost my father in 2006. Since that day, I began my journey of understanding the mind and how it works. We go through many major life transitions such as breakups, divorce, having children, new professions, loss of income, moving, pandemic stress and more. Most do not realize just how traumatic these seemingly “normal” events are to us at times. I am here to help you if you feel overwhelmed, anxious, depressed, angry or confused concerning anything that has been thrown at you in your life. If you feel that what you are dealing with is too much to handle on your own, please reach out to me. We cannot stop this cycle of numbing or ignoring mental health issues in our world if we do not start within. As a mental health advocate, I am here for you. I have seen the impact of a lack of relatable and accessible mental health programs and providers. I am here to be the bridge and get you the solutions, support, and guidance you need.

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.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I have been counseling clients dealing with a variety of mental, emotional, and relational issues for a number of years. I have counseled adolescents, adults, families, couples and groups. I decided to pursue a doctorate in Marriage and Family Therapy because I realized the impact that our families, and society as well, have on our mental and emotional development. The impact is both positive and negative and may manifest as depression, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, a lack of a sense of self and other mental and emotional disorders. In counseling, I help clients explore those influences and the impact on their life. My specialties then center around helping clients gain insight into those influences, become more empowered, develop a stronger sense of self, and take steps to become who they really are; thereby addressing mental and emotional health issues. It's important to note that many times, experiences unfortunately include trauma and loss. It may be childhood or other trauma. Identifying, acknowledging and processing trauma and loss is therefore often a part of the process of becoming more empowered and developing that strong sense of self described above. .

"One step, one step." So, this is a phrase I often say. I use it as a reminder that we will move forward, heal, achieve our goals one step, one moment at a time. If we feel or see ourselves slip back....we reset. We move forward again one step, one step. Wellness has always been a focus in my life's work. My expertise has allowed me to work with individuals from the African Diaspora, immigrant communities, various cultures, military and those diagnosed with chronic illness. I use a holistic approach, integrating modalities such as a Client-Centered approach, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused and Mindfulness to achieve your goals and build an empowered, stronger and healthier sense of self. I believe that collaborating with you as an individual, learning your strengths, challenges, and identifying key coping skills together we move towards your best strategies for wellness.

Licensed Psychotherapist | Culturally Sensitive | Trauma-Informed Welcome, I’m Nubia. Healing doesn’t happen overnight — but with the right support, it absolutely happens. Whether you're working through trauma, betrayal, anxiety, divorce, or simply feeling emotionally stuck, I’m here to help you move forward with clarity, strength, and care. I work with adults navigating life transitions, stress, or emotional wounds that have been hard to process alone. Many of my clients come to me feeling overwhelmed, burnt out, or unsure of how to break free from patterns that no longer serve them. Together, we explore the deeper “why” behind those patterns — and create space for healing, resilience, and growth. My approach is grounded in evidence-based modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT). These methods help us understand how your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are connected — and how to gently shift the beliefs that keep you feeling stuck. But beyond technique, I lead with authenticity, compassion, and cultural awareness. In our sessions, you’ll find a space that feels safe, honest, and judgment-free. Whether this is your first time in therapy or you’re returning to it, you are welcome exactly as you are. Clients often tell me they feel more centered, more empowered, and more hopeful after working together. I offer flexible scheduling, including evenings and virtual sessions, because healing should fit into real life. If you’re ready to begin your journey — whether you’re clear on your goals or still figuring them out — I’d be honored to support you. Let’s take the first step, together.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Certified Life Coach and I've been in practice for 17 years. Seeking therapy takes courage and personal growth begins when one is willing to take the first step towards change. Do you avoid conflict with others? Do you struggle to set boundaries with others? Do you experience manipulation and gaslighting in your relationships and wonder what is going on? It's not you. I assist clients who are healing from narcissistic abuse within intimate relationships and/or with family of origin. I partner with clients experiencing stress in relationships due to betrayal, infidelity, codependency, boundary issues and manipulation. I also work with clients in recovery from substance abuse and clients struggling to manage anger, anxiety, depression, work stress and life transitions. I meet clients where they are on their journeys and partner with them to solve their problems and move forward. If you're here, you've already taken the first step.

Life today moves fast, and it’s easy to feel like you can’t quite keep up. If the strategies that once helped you aren’t working anymore or if you simply don’t know where to begin, you don’t have to face it alone. Starting therapy is a meaningful step, and finding the right fit is an important part of that process. Together, we’ll create a supportive space to explore your challenges and work toward the goals that matter most to you. Therapy is a collaborative process, and I would like to work with you to achieve your goals. I have a passion for working with clients experiencing anxiety, low self-esteem, complex trauma, career/life transitions, PTSD, and depression.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who provides boutique-style therapy for professional women who are ready for real change. I work well with high-functioning women who may appear strong and capable on the outside, but internally feel overwhelmed, anxious, emotionally exhausted, disconnected, or stuck in patterns that no longer serve them. My approach is supportive, honest, structured, and intentional. Therapy with me is not passive venting only. I help clients identify what is keeping them stuck, strengthen emotional awareness, improve boundaries, reduce overthinking, and create practical shifts that support lasting growth. Clients often come to me when they are ready to stop simply coping and begin moving with more clarity, confidence, emotional balance, and purpose. My work is grounded in evidence-based approaches and guided by compassion, accountability, collaboration, and respect.

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.
