The people of London have a little in common with the rest of the world. They're the proud residents of the fourth-largest city named London in the world. And, a lovely place to be London is on top of that bragging right. It would be nice to say the people of London are not taking their unique claim to fame for granted, and living life to its fullest potential, but that's not always the truth.
People in London and all over the world needlessly suffer from personal struggles such as mental illness, addiction, trauma, loss, and anything in between. If you are one such person, please reach out for help today.
Leah Pavela-Mullins
I am a licensed clinical social worker with over 15 years of experience in helping people find solutions to their problems. Over the years, I have been told by clients that they really feel that I am listening to them and trying to understand what is going on in their lives and how they feel. Clients have also told me that they do not feel any sense of judgment, but rather that I accept them for who they are and where they are in their life’s journey. My style is empathetic and solution focused. I will spend time asking you questions in order to get to know you and try to find out what is at the heart of your issue. Together, we will talk about possible avenues you may want to take, or changes you may want to consider. I may give you some “homework” assignments…things to write out or think about, worksheets to complete, or even techniques/exercises to practice in your own time so that some of what we discuss in our sessions is reinforced. Most of all, I will be an objective listener, helping you to gain insight into what is going on with you, so that you are able to make the choices and changes you want to, in your own time. I look forward to working with you!

It may not feel like it yet, but even through taking these steps, you are making progress! Steady progress is what I work with individuals to achieve through several treatment methods. The approaches that we use may be different for each person, but my hope for each client is that they reach three things: a sense of understanding, a route to self-acceptance/inner peace, and productivity toward reaching their deepest desires. I am a licensed mental health therapist in Kentucky and Indiana. I was born and raised in a city-setting (Louisville, KY), but spent time learning and working in a rural community as a graduate of Western Kentucky University. My counseling style is nurturing but practical. My hope is that with the end of each session, you will feel understood and motivated, and will have a plan of action to work toward your goals. Some of my favorite treatment modalities include solution-focused, narrative, CBT, DBT, and motivational interviewing. I have an open door to all races, religions, ideologies, and sexual-orientations. My specialties include substance abuse treatment, anxiety, stress, anger management, relationship issues, race/discrimination-related issues, life changes, and parenting issues. When I am not working in the role of therapist, I covet time spent with my husband and four kiddos. If you are ready to move forward toward better understanding yourself, your issues, and your solutions, lets get started! Don't wait another day to start working toward the way of life that you deserve.

Hi! My name is Russell or Rusty or Russ, whichever you prefer. My approach is casual, but also rooted in science. Like an astronaut might say they “always knew they wanted to be an astronaut”, I’ve always known I wanted to be a therapist. I’ve studied the more interesting psychological treatment approaches, like humanistic theory, motivational and mindfulness based approaches, but graduated from a rigorous Psychology program rooted in the science of Cognitive Behavioral Theory. My Master's degree is a Master’s of Science in Social Work.

Daniel Beasley
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker working with adults navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship stress, identity concerns, and major life transitions. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, disconnected from themselves, or unsure how to move forward after difficult experiences. If that’s where you are, you’re not alone—and it doesn’t have to stay that way. My approach is trauma-informed, affirming, and grounded in genuine human connection. Therapy with me is a space where you can be honest without filters, while also working toward meaningful, realistic change. We’ll focus on understanding what’s underneath the stress—patterns, past experiences, and the ways you’ve learned to cope—while building practical tools to help you move forward with more clarity, stability, and hope. I use evidence-based approaches including CBT, DBT, motivational interviewing, and trauma-focused interventions, and tailor the work to your specific needs and goals. Treatment is always collaborative, and we will regularly check in on what’s working and adjust as needed. You don’t have to feel completely ready to start therapy. It’s common to feel unsure, nervous, or even stuck—that’s something we can work through together. As we go, we’ll focus on building practical skills, insight, and direction at a pace that feels manageable. Therapy isn’t about quick fixes, but about creating meaningful, lasting change over time, with the goal of helping you move forward with greater confidence and clarity. At the same time, therapy can remain a resource you return to during more difficult seasons. Support doesn’t have to be all-or-nothing. I offer flexible scheduling, with a preference for Monday–Friday appointments, but I’m open to other days and times when needed. I don’t want scheduling to be the reason you don’t reach out. For those who find it meaningful, I can incorporate conversations around meaning, purpose, and hope, including optional use of spiritual or faith-based perspectives. This is always guided by your values and preferences. I strive to provide a respectful, nonjudgmental, and culturally responsive space, and I value open communication about your needs, preferences, and feedback throughout the process. Starting therapy can feel like a big step, especially if you’re used to handling things on your own. You don’t have to have everything figured out to begin. If part of you is ready for something to change, that’s enough to start.

Why work with a licensed therapist near you?
Working with a licensed therapist near you gives you access to professional mental health support from someone trained to help you understand and manage what you are going through. A licensed therapist can offer evidence-based approaches, a steady space to talk, and guidance tailored to your situation. In Kentucky, online therapy can make that care more accessible, since sessions happen from home or wherever you are, without the need to travel to an office.
