Hi! I'm Leyla. Welcome. I am glad you're here :) Existing within the structures of late-stage capitalism got ya down? The pain inside of you is reflective of the collective chaos outside of you. Your feelings are valid. 🫂 If this resonates with you, look no further. Your anti-capitalist therapist is here. I believe that healing as individuals requires recognition of the trauma of structural oppression and dominance. With this in mind, I center anti-racist + anti-oppressive, LGBTQIA+-affirming, disability justice, and intersectional feminist values into my practice. I reflect on and recognize the privileges I hold and how these have assisted me in navigating the world. The lens I look through may be of interest to you. I am a second generation immigrant settler from the Middle East and a Person of the Global Majority (PoGM). I am an AuDHD non-binary queer woman. I am able-bodied, chronically ill and surviror. I live in the colonized portion of Wabanaki territory now known as Mount Desert Island, Maine. I support gender-diverse individuals with many neurotypes. My clients tend to be highly intellectual & deep thinkers -- "Talented & Gifted burn-out kids" who are in the process of unmasking. Many of my clients are late-diagnosed or un-diagnosed Autistic and//or ADHD---hyper-sensitive//hyper-self aware//highly anxious peeps who may experience obsessive thinking, executive dysfunction, social withdrawal, sensory overwhelm and relational challenges. Many of my clients identify as the black sheep or scapegoat of their families and are cycle breakers of intergenerational trauma. I vibe with symbolic thinkers who are interested in understanding themselves and how their early childhood experiences shaped their relational patterns today. If this sounds like you, I look forward to supporting you on this journey!

I’ve counseled people in some form or fashion for most of my life. When I was younger, friends came to me with their problems and left our conversation feeling better. Seeing the change in them was moving and made me realize I wanted to do this professionally. However, my journey to becoming a therapist was an unusual one. I was a monk for more than a decade and worked abroad. During that time, I gained a deeper understanding of the human experience and struggle. It shaped me as a therapist and has since helped me identify people’s deeper issues as well as give concrete and practical advice.

Hi, I'm Donavon. I am a counselor with almost 20 years of experience. Some words that folks have used to describe me are encouraging, supportive, compassionate, and understanding. One of the things I feel I am especially good at is helping people find the connections to the origins of their problems. Do I spend days or weeks having you relive the past? No. But, being able to understand how your problems or negative coping strategies of today developed, is an important step in doing things better in the present.

Welcome, I’m Elaine a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), based in North Carolina, I’m also licensed to practice in Ohio. Counseling should be a conversation in a private, peaceful setting where you can explore issues that are impacting your life. In a private, peaceful, therapeutic environment I will listen to you without judgment, provide support, insight and feedback to help you address current or long standing issues that are impacting your life and possibly interfering with your emotional well-being. I have over 20 years experience working with individual and families to address mood instability, depression, anxiety, personal trauma, grief/loss, interpersonal problems, chronic illness and substance abuse. I specialize in working with adults from a holistic perspective providing individual counseling using diverse therapeutic modalities. I believe that therapy works best when there is a commitment to attend regular scheduled therapy session. I believe that individuals are resilient and have the capacity to heal from within. I believe in creating pathways for positive change. I believe “ life is not about waiting for the storm to pass, it’s about learn to dance in the rain”.

I hold a Master’s of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Capella University as of early 2022. I have been serving children, adolescents, adults, and families for the past year and have some previous experience working in a substance abuse facility. I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor in North Carolina as approved by the North Carolina Board of Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselors (NCBLCMHC). Currently I also hold a Licensed Clinical Addictions Specialist Associate Level (LCAS-28793) and a Nationally Certified Counselor (Certificate # 1571143). Obtained status of Registered Mental Health Counselor Intern from the state of Florida (License # IMH25227). I am also EMDR Trained working toward certification. Counseling Background: As your counselor, I am here to support you in making meaning, creating comfort, and uncovering resources to help you be your best self. Taking an evidenced-based, client-centered, and existentially-informed approach, I aim to provide a safe and supportive space where we can collaborate and work at your own pace to help you reach your goals. I work with individuals from a variety of backgrounds on issues including depression, anxiety, stress, trauma, relationship challenges, grief and loss, career transitions, and other mental health and life concerns. Along with the many benefits of counseling come risks. Since counseling often involves discussing unpleasant or uncomfortable aspects of your life, you may experience feelings such as sadness, guilt, anger, frustration, loneliness, shame, and/or helplessness. Counseling allows you to process your feelings and often leads to better relationships, solutions to specific problems, and relief from feelings of distress. There are no guarantees of what you will experience. In order for you to achieve the most benefit from counseling, you will have to be engaged in your therapy sessions, committed, and do work outside of therapy to meet your personal goals.

I started this journey of helping others in 2004 when I decided to make Mental Health a career choice. After earning a master's degree, I accepted my first paid position at Phoenix House of Brandon, FL and fell deeper in love with helping people emerge from whatever darkness they were experiencing in their lives. My passion is counseling those who struggle with various addictive behaviors (substance use, problem gambling, etc.) and co-occurring lifestyle issues. I have found strength-based and empathic approaches encourage clients to discover their capabilities for living a healthy, positive lifestyle.

Hi, this is Mary and welcome to my profile. Are you searching for meaningful relationships and supportive and healthy communications with others in your life? We will work on assertive communication strategies that will allow you to feel more confident when you encounter difficult situations. Tools for establishing healthy connections with others will be shared to help cultivate and attune to the quality relationships you are seeking. You will learn to identify healthy and supportive connections that are emotionally safe and honor and enhance your well-being. You will learn how to better manage symptoms of anxiety and depression and discover that choice is always offered in the context of a supportive and healthy relationship. You will learn relationship principles that allow you to define how you want to show up in relationships as well as create healthy expectations for what you wish to receive from relationships with others. Awareness of how you present to others and your ability to take responsibility for how you may impact others with whom you wish to honor and support will be explored. The value of reciprocity in relationships will be introduced and investigated. The skills you will learn in this process will allow you to be responsible for your own emotions and actions and equipped with the tools to respond respectfully to the words and actions of others regardless of their intent. Together we can identify patterns that may be holding you back from reaching your full potential in important areas of your life.
