Hi! I'm Tori Volanski. I'm so glad you're here and that you've taken the first step towards getting support.
Maybe you aren't quite sure how to focus on what matters or even find the motivation to figure it out. You want to feel better but you aren't even sure what feels wrong. You want to find more ways to connect with those important to you, lean into the joys that life has to offer and embrace new challenges. I've been there too, many times and I'm here to support you on your journey.
I connect well with adults and adolescents who are exploring their identities and learning to embrace their values. I practice from a person-centered approach which means that getting to know you, your personal experiences, and what feels most important to you right now is what will guide our work together.
I'm here to help connect the dots but you decide what the bigger picture is.
I look forward to learning more about you and providing a place for you to be your most authentic self.
Please schedule a consultation if you have any questions.

Just because you carry your grief doesn’t mean it’s not heavy. Grief can be lonely; overwhelming sadness, feeling numb, guilt, anger, avoidance, or burnout can make you feel disconnected from others and change your perception of yourself and the world around you. With the right help, you can feel better, find meaning in your life, and see beauty in the world again.
I have 19 years of experience in grief counseling, navigating life transitions, treating mental illness, end of life issues, and providing trauma-informed care to adults struggling with grief and loss, life-limiting illness, caregiver fatigue, and depression. Please note I provide online therapy only at this time.

You have many choices when it comes to picking a counselor/therapist, but what is the most important thing to consider when choosing? Does the person appear to be kind? Do they have the qualifications to serve you? Does he/she make you feel comfortable and ease the anxiety you might be feeling regarding sharing such personal information so quickly? How does the office environment feel (telehealth or in the office)? More importantly, how quickly do you feel your exact problem is being addressed?

Hi, I'm Shonda!
Do you feel overwhelmed, confused, or simply exhausted due to the demands of life and relationships with family, friends and/or colleagues? Are you engaging in negative self-talk and are very critical of yourself and others and do not have self compassion? Or do you have difficulty asserting your needs from others only to feel resentful and taken advantage of when you don't speak up? If so, I can assist you on your healing journey to improve your relationship with yourself and others.
I help teens, adults and couples identify what ways of thinking/reacting are not serving them and ways to modify thinking/reacting in an effort to improve relationships with others and the self. Together, we can assess adverse life experiences that have contributed to how you respond to life in ineffective ways. We will also uncover unhealthy core beliefs that stem from adverse experiences so that we can increase your ability to understand yourself deeper and make the necessary mental/behavioral changes from this updated awareness.
Finding a compatible therapist is essential, the relationship with your mental health provider is a very important factor. I am considered by many of my clients very relatable and personable as I am human first and have dealt with some of the same issues as you. I have found that I work best with clients who have good people skills and are self starters. You deserve a safe space to heal, learn, and grow. Let's begin your healing journey!

My name is Deborah Kirkland. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with over eight years of experience counseling in a non-profit trauma center. Many of my clients have experienced childhood abuse and neglect as well as adverse life experiences into adulthood. I have worked with individuals from a variety of cultural backgrounds, socio-economic statuses, sexual orientations, and gender identities.
Seeking treatment for mental health takes courage. It is not easy to open up the most private aspects of our lives to a complete stranger. Thus, my philosophy is to build a trusting therapeutic relationship. The client and I work together to determine appropriate treatment goals and the best course of action to accomplish those goals. Therapy should be tailored to the individual.
My educational background includes a M.A. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Stephen F. Austin State University. I have a B.A. in History from Arizona State University. I also have a M.A. in English and a M.A. in Teaching from Stephen F. Austin State University. I have always been interested in the complexities of the human experience. Helping others to develop the necessary skills to best meet the challenges life throws at us is my calling in life.
