Welcome… my name is Ife Michelle Milligan. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, as well as a Certified Holistic Life Coach. I graduated from Columbia University School of Social Work in 1996. In my 30 years of providing services and therapy for clients, I have enjoyed the opportunities to witness growth and transformation. I believe in the power of change. It has been and continues to be an honor to hold space for others, while they overcome challenges and improve their lives. ••• “ I will not rescue you, for you are not powerless. I will not fix you, for you are not broken. I will not heal you, for I see you in your wholeness. I will walk with you through the darkness as you remember your light.” Sheree Bliss Tisley ••• I look forward to supporting you on your journey of healing.

I’m a therapist who works with teens (13–17) and adults (18+) who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck in their heads, or just tired of holding everything together on their own. A lot of the people I work with look like they’re doing “fine” on the outside, but inside they’re dealing with anxiety, stress, low mood, or feeling like they’re falling behind in school, work, relationships, or life in general. In therapy, I offer a space where you don’t have to filter yourself or pretend you’re okay. Together, we focus on making sense of what you’re feeling, finding practical ways to cope, and helping you feel more grounded and in control of your day-to-day life. The goal is simple: to help you feel more like yourself again, with tools that actually fit your real life.

As a neurodivergent Black woman living with a chronic illness and mother of three adult children, two of whom identify with the LGBTQ+ commmunity, I am always interested in the deeper question people carry about their lives. Many of the individuals I work with are thoughtful, capable people who have spent years showing up for others, meeting expectations, and doing what seemed like the responsible thing to do. At some point, though, many begin to notice a quiet sense that something no longer fits. My work centers around helping people slow down enough to understand what is actually happening beneath that feeling. Together we look at the patterns, experiences, and internal narratives that shape how you see yourself and the choices available to you. From that place, people often begin to rediscover a clearer sense of who they are and what direction their lives might take moving forward. I am especially drawn to working with adults navigating identity shifts, relationship transitions, and moments in life where the path forward is no longer obvious.

I strive to create a therapy space that feels safe, supportive, and down-to-earth. My approach is compassionate, honest, and collaborative. I want clients to feel understood and not judged, while also feeling supported in making meaningful changes. In my practice, I help clients better understand themselves, recognize patterns, build coping skills, and move toward healing at a pace that feels manageable.

Welcome! I’m Christien Harden. Finding the right therapist can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to navigate it alone. I’m here to provide a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where you can work through life’s challenges at your own pace. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use, or identity-related concerns, my goal is to help you find clarity, healing, and balance in a way that feels right for you.

My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where you can explore your thoughts and emotions, strengthen coping skills, and make meaningful changes aligned with your values.

Are you a woman facing big decisions? Navigating relationship challenges, family dynamics, parenting difficulties, career pivots? My background shapes how I approach therapy with clients facing such women's issues, which includes years as a licensed mental health counselor, but also as serving in senior leadership within higher education, supporting clients as a transformational coach, and balancing parenting along the way. This mix (and juggling act) gives me a practical understanding of how emotional wellbeing is often shaped by work, caregiving, relationships, and major life responsibilities. Many of the woman I work with are thoughtful, capable, and carrying more than others realize. They often appear highly functional on the outside while privately feeling overwhelmed, depleted, uncertain, or disconnected from themselves. I help clients slow things down enough to understand what is happening beneath the surface, identify what needs attention, and move forward in ways that feel grounded and realistic. I am licensed in Washington, Virginia, and Rhode Island, am a nationally certified counselor, and hold a doctorate in adult and higher education. While my colleagues may call me Dr. T, in counseling I'm just Melanie. I'm here to support you, help you find clarity and calm, offer guidance, levity, and a safe space for tears, perimenopausal rage, or a well placed curse word. Together, we find solutions to the barriers keeping you from your next chapter.

My clinical background includes working with survivors of domestic and sexual violence, individuals coping with anxiety and depression, and those processing grief and loss. I have also had the privilege of supporting individuals in early recovery from substance use within an inpatient residential treatment setting. Throughout my career, I’ve provided both individual and group therapy. At the heart of my work is a deep commitment to creating a therapeutic space rooted in compassion, warmth, acceptance, and respect. I believe that healing begins when we feel truly seen and heard.

We are responsible for our own choices, and sometimes for the choices of others. That responsibility can feel daunting, especially when change is already unfolding beneath the surface.

I help high-achieving professionals, executives, healthcare workers, first responders, ethnic minorities and indigenous people who are often successful in their careers but feel stuck or dissatisfied in other areas of life.

Hello, My name is Tierra Evans. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Work Supervisor and Mental Health Clinician. I have been a licensed Social Worker for nine years and counting. I am a Texas native and have traveled extensively. I received my Master’s degree in Social Work from the University of Texas at Arlington. I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), strengths-based therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and other therapeutic modalities. My passion is to nurture and cultivate positive energy and high vibrations throughout my life journey. Services are provided within a short-term, goal-oriented framework. Treatment typically consists of 6–8 sessions. Progress is formally reviewed around session six, at which point the client and therapist mutually determine whether to conclude services, extend treatment for an additional time-limited phase, or pursue other appropriate options.

First of all, I love what I do and to witness the positive changes clients make in their lives as a result of choosing therapy to help them accomplish what they want. Often the goal is to achieve symptom relief so as to not be overwhelmed by anxiety, mood disorders or be better able to manage the challenges of ADHD. Sometimes there is not a specific outcome identified but a need for ongoing support for dealing with life transitions or difficult people. Sometimes clients use therapy as a confidential sounding board where they can talk to an objective outsider about situations and sort out their perspective. I offer various ways to see and respond to situations that might otherwise not be considered. Your opinion as a client is the most important one and I will also honestly provide mine when asked for. I believe therapy can actually be something that you can look forward to and an opportunity to learn new skills to use long after you discontinue, and we can even have some fun and laughs along the journey.

I believe therapy should feel like a conversation with someone who truly listens while also helping you challenge the patterns that may be keeping you stuck. Together, we’ll identify your strengths, process difficult experiences, and develop practical tools you can use outside of our sessions. I understand that healing isn’t one-size-fits-all. Whether you’re navigating stress, working through past trauma, rebuilding after addiction, or simply trying to better understand yourself, I’ll meet you where you are. My hope is that you leave each session feeling heard, empowered, and more confident in your ability to move toward the life you want

I earned my Master's degree from Troy University and work with clients ages 15-64 who are ready to move beyond simply surviving and begin living with greater purpose, balance, and self-compassion. Many of the people I work with are caregivers, teachers, first responders, healthcare professionals, military veterans, parents of children with special needs, and others who spend their lives caring for everyone else while quietly carrying too much themselves.
