Hello, I am a clinical psychologist who has been in practice sine 1999. I work with a general adult population, with my main focus being on PTSD, depression and anxiety. During the early stages of my career, I performed extensive psychological and neuropsychological testing. This helped me to understand the general workings of the brain and how important it is to utilize this knowledge in my therapy. I have found that helping my clients understand that mental illness is not "just in my head" or something I need to "get over' has been so very beneficial in people healing and taking control of their lives. I hope to have the opportunity to help you heal and make positive changes in your life.

Hi, my name is Mark. Thank you for considering me as your therapist. It would be my pleasure to get to work with you! I am a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist; that means that not only do I work with individuals who experience all kinds of mental health challenges, but I also specialize in systemic, or relational therapy - working with couples, families & groups. I am a Presidential Member of the American Association of Christian Counselors. If you want your faith included in your therapy, please let me know; your sessions will be as "spiritual" as you'd like, and no more. I have been providing therapy and counseling since 2016, and most recently worked as the therapy manager for a clinic that has four locations. Though I have worked with all populations (youngest 5 years old and oldest 94), young kids have trouble sitting still in front of a camera. Children under the age of 15 would be better served in an office setting, in my opinion. I have been with my amazing wife for over 35 years now, and have two wonderful adult children. I enjoy sports, music and all kinds of "outdoorzie" stuff. I most of all just enjoy time with my family. Most of my clients profess to sincerely enjoy working with me; I tend to connect with my clients on a deeper level, and in a more meaningful way, than some other therapists. Many say that they or their children work better with me than any other therapist, counselor or doctor they've experienced. I am humbled and immensely grateful for their kind words. I offer my clients a soft place to fall in their hurts and struggles while providing them a firm place to stand in their healing and growth. Always, in a judgment-free way.

Hey there! My name is Janay, and I am thrilled to embark on this journey with you. Allow me to share a bit about myself— I am a Licensed Professional Counselor I graduated from the esteemed Howard University with a Bachelor of Science in Psychology, where I refined my understanding of the complexities of human behavior. Subsequently, I pursued a Master's in Professional Counseling, deepening my knowledge and expertise in mental health and counseling. I have always enjoyed learning about the complexities of the mind and human life. Proudly, I am a member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Inc., an organization that underscores the importance of community involvement, sisterhood and scholarship. My goal is to help you become the best version of yourself, no matter where you are in your journey. Whether you need a compassionate listener or someone to guide you toward the person you want to be, I’m here to support you. I use a blend of therapeutic approaches, including CBT, Trauma-Focused Therapy, DBT, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy to provide personalized care that fits your needs. For couples, I offer Couples Counseling to help build stronger, more fulfilling relationships.

My name is Dr. A and I have been providing counseling since 2002. I believe we all possess the skills to reach our potential and that as a Counselor it is my job to help you find your strengths to be the person you want to be. I will focus on building an authentic and supportive relationship with you and utilize techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, Solution Focused, Attachment -Base approaches and many others. I believe here is a lot gained from understanding how our thoughts impact our feelings and behaviors. Additionally, the earliest relationships in life impact our adult relationships, and there can be much to be gained from a deeper understanding of this. I look forward to working with you soon!
