Hello, my name is Michele Monét Irby, MSW, LISW, and I am the Founder and Owner of Resilient Soul Counseling & Consulting, where we provide individualized therapeutic experiences rooted in authenticity, healing, and transformation. As a licensed clinical social worker, educator, and clinical leader, I am passionate about helping individuals, couples, families, and organizations build resilience, navigate life's challenges, and achieve meaningful growth. My approach integrates evidence-based clinical practices, trauma-responsive care, cultural responsiveness, and faith-based principles when desired by the client. Through Resilient Soul Counseling & Consulting, my mission is to create safe spaces where healing can occur, strengths can be discovered, and lasting change can be achieved.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 10 years of experience supporting individuals with complex and high acuity mental health needs. My work is grounded in trauma informed and trauma responsive care, with a strong commitment to creating inclusive, affirming spaces for BIPOC, LGBTQI+, neurodivergent clients, and individuals in rural communities. I work across the lifespan, including children (6+), adults, older adults, families, and couples. My approach is collaborative and empowering, centered on the belief that clients are the experts in their own lives. I often describe my role as “working myself out of a job” helping clients build the insight, skills, and confidence needed to advocate for themselves and navigate systems independently. As a trauma specialist, I use evidence-based and trauma-responsive approaches tailored to each client’s needs. My primary modalities include Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), somatic therapy, Internal Family Systems-informed interventions, and psychodynamic therapy. My EMDRIA certification is currently pending. I also have extensive experience using Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, exposure-based interventions, mindfulness, and other integrative approaches. I modify interventions to support neurodivergent clients and individuals with intellectual or developmental disabilities, recognizing that therapy should adapt to the client and not require the client to adapt to therapy.

Hello, I'm Sarah. I'm a licensed clinical social worker who works with adults virtually in Ohio, Indiana, and Kentucky. I strive to be easy to talk to, and I believe therapy should feel like a space where you can show up exactly as you are—without pressure, judgment, or needing to have everything figured out. My practice is collaborative, down-to-earth, and centered on what matters most to you. We’ll make room for whatever you’re carrying, whether it’s stress, relationship challenges, big life changes, old patterns that keep showing up, or simply the feeling that something needs to shift. I’ll listen closely, help you make sense of what’s going on, and support you in finding practical ways to move forward. I want our work to feel real and useful—not overly clinical or one-size-fits-all. Together, we’ll go at a pace that feels right for you, build on your strengths, and create space for more clarity, confidence, and self-trust.

As a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with over 20 years of experience specializing in substance use disorder treatment, I provide a unique understanding to the disease of addiction, anxiety, depression and other underlying conditions. I use a blend of cognitive-behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, and faith based treatment. I am person of deep faith who loves his wife and 2 children.

Every person is different, and you will have your own individualized therapy and plan that is tailored to your needs. I really enjoy helping others explore their own strengths, and I understand that sometimes it can be hard to put things into perspective. Sometimes that outside, non-judgmental assistance is what someone needs to get back on track or on a better track.

I believe that trauma is experienced in relationship and through relationship trauma is healed as well. It's my hope that I will always be the kind of clinician with whom my client can develop a relationship that enables them to experience a measure of healing during each encounter we have. It is also my hope that I will empower every client, through providing them with all of my knowledge and skills, in a manner that will work me out of a job. My agenda is to provide each client with skills that, when implemented, will carry them through every challenging situation that they might encounter so they can be successful in living life on purpose.

Are you feeling like your life or relationship doesn’t feel the way you wish it did? Is communicating to the people in your life, whether that is work, home, or love, a major challenge?

Whatever it is you’re facing we can identify and challenge it, create a new path forward if you're willing to put in the work.

I will do that for you without judgment or criticism. Let’s talk today!

Greetings! I am a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) and have worked with offenders, anger management clients, couples, teens and adults struggling with ADHD, anxiety and depression. Through a strengths based approach, my clients learn more about themselves thus improving self-confidence, communication, mood and overall outlook on life. I love serving my teen and couples clients via the Gallup strengths test. This test helps individuals understand where their energy is highest and what they value most. It's not about "strengths", but values.

This is one tool of many I enjoy using to help my clients.

I’m a business owner, a single mom, and a foster and adoptive parent. I understand what it’s like to juggle multiple roles, carry constant responsibility, and still want to show up well for the people who matter most. One thing I say often is “work on yourself first.” It’s one of the few things we actually have control over even when we feel as though we don't, and it’s also the thing we tend to put off. We’re busy, we’re juggling everything, and before we know it, we’re stuck in patterns that feel frustrating and hard to break. No judgment here. I get it. I’ve been working with individuals and families as a therapist since 2018, with a background in healthcare prior to that, and I’ve spent my career serving the Fort Worth community I grew up in. I take a solution-focused, strengths-based approach, which means we’ll focus on what’s already working, build on your strengths, and create practical steps that actually move things forward.

Hi, I’m Tenisha Rigby, a Licensed Independent Social Worker with over 18 years of experience in the behavioral health field.

My goal is to create a space where you feel heard, supported, and understood — a space that’s free of judgment and filled with compassion. Together, we’ll work at your pace to explore what matters most to you and find practical ways to help you feel more balanced, confident, and fulfilled in your day-to-day life.

Are you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from yourself? Maybe you’re navigating a major life transition, having difficulty processing moments of the past, struggling with relationships, setting boundaries, managing anxiety, or trying to reconnect with who you are after years of putting others first. Therapy can and should be a place to slow down, understand what you’ve been carrying, and begin creating meaningful change. I work with adults who are ready to better understand themselves, heal from difficult experiences, and build a life that feels more aligned with who they truly are. My approach is warm, collaborative, and personalized because I believe therapy is not one-size-fits-all. Together, we will explore your experiences, identify patterns that may be keeping you stuck, while developing practical tools to help you move forward.

Change can be scary, but it doesn't have to be. We all face situations throughout life that can make us feel overwhelmed and in need of support, encouragement, strategic planning or goal setting. You are not alone. I provide a safe, warm and friendly environment for growth and healing. You may need support in family life transitions, a parent-child relationship, peers groups, marriage, divorce, social issues, academic challenges or behavioral issues. While we are working together, I take a collaborative approach to help you to achieve your goals and overcome the challenges you're facing in life. I am here to support and empower you on your personal journey. Recognizing when issues in life have become too much to handle alone and seeking assistance is a great first step on your healing journey. It takes a lot of courage to reach out to someone, so I applaud you on taking that first huge step.

I graduated with a M. Ed with a specialization in Mental Health Counseling in 2012, have been an LPC since 2013. I received my Independent Chemical Dependency License in 2021 and my Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in 2025. I draw from multiple theoretical approaches and techniques, tailoring your treatment plan to your needs by selecting the most effective methods from various therapies, rather than strictly adhering to one specific school of thought.
