Dr. Jason Reasor
I has been counseling individuals and couples since July 2007 while serving as a pastor and spiritual leader.

I recently completed my doctorate in professional counseling from Mississippi College in August 2021. My approach to counseling is holistic in nature and I believe in counseling the “whole” individual (thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and social considerations).

Kind. Supportive. Caring. I was once asked, "How can you help people with their issues if you've been sad or upset?" I smiled and responded, "The same way a medical doctor helps patients who are sick; with thoughtfulness and integrity." I am not immune from life's challenges because I am a therapist. I believe that life experiences have helped me become more compassionate toward people who are hurting. My education, training, and professional expertise provide the tools for me to counsel individuals and families. It is such an honor to support and counsel my clients as they move through their healing process.

Mary Harbin
For over 25 years, I have had the privilege of walking alongside adults as they navigate the most challenging chapters of their lives. With 21 years spent as a Community Support Specialist and nearly 5 years as a Therapist, I have a deep, practical understanding of what it takes to find stability and joy when facing depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, mood incongruities, and psychosis. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, but more importantly, I’m a human who believes that healing happens through connection and that therapy should be more than just a conversation—it should be a catalyst for hope. My approach is warm, active, and deeply rooted in the belief that no one is defined by their diagnosis. By blending the practical 'how-to' of CBT and DBT with the transformative power of EMDR, we can work together to clear the mental clutter and process the past. My goal is to provide a space where you feel genuinely seen and energized. You have been resilient for so long on your own; let’s shift the focus from simply ‘getting by’ to creating a life that feels hopeful and truly yours. I’d love to hear your story. Reach out for a free consultation, and let’s talk about how we can start moving things forward together.

Chan-Tal Wilborn
Life experiences influence how we think, feel, and respond to the world around us, but they do not determine who we are or who we can become. My approach to therapy is rooted in the belief that while our experiences may shape our story, they do not have to define our future. I believe every individual possesses strengths, resilience, and purpose that can be uncovered and strengthened throughout the healing process. I provide a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where individuals feel seen, heard, valued, and empowered. Together, we will explore the connection between the heart and mind, gaining insight into how life experiences influence thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and relationships. My goal is to help clients build resilience, develop healthy coping strategies, and move beyond survival toward restoration, purpose, wellness, and wholeness.
