ABOUT ME My goal as a therapist is to help people find healing & joy in their lives so that they can live as they were created to & reach out beyond themselves. I have been a therapist for 7 years and worked with people of all ages (children, teens, families, parents, adults, couples) using a variety of therapy modalities including: cognitive, Christian, art, and play therapies. I tend to use a strength-based approach to therapy, which means I go where my clients need/want to go and I encourage the strengths I see in them while also promoting growth in other areas. I have experience in helping people develop healthier coping skills for stress, anxiety, anger, grief & depression, as well as improve relationships with their children, spouses and extended families. Some of my favorite things to do are to help clients see the good in their lives, then dream of the future and develop practical steps towards achieving those dreams. It is very fulfilling to see people make progress in areas they desire to see change, and to recognize their own strengths!

Shipra Singh
I have been practicing in the field of mental health since past 15 years. My personal experience with counseling was that there was a safe and non judgmental space, where someone was ethically and empathically devoted towards helping me find peace from chaos, find answers from the turmoil, and finally feel connected to my own self as a person. My primary modality in therapy sessions involves integrated approach, where in I incorporate Person Centered therapy modality to establish an empathetic, non-judgmental, genuinely caring and therapeutic environment where a person can feel safe, comfortable and supported to open up about their qualms and concerns. The other intervention modalities involve Cognitive Behavior Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapies which facilitate the discussion and solution focused phase in the therapy session. My ideal client is anyone who is struggling with daily life stressors, trying to manage symptoms of clinical/non-clinical depression, and anxiety symptoms, sleep issues, PTSD symptoms, Grief, Self Esteem and Self Confidence issues, Generational Trauma challenges, adjustment issues, struggling in academics, career and relationships. Parenting issues. I also specialize in women mental health, and in supporting Perinatal/PostPartum phase women. Overall my goal is to provide a safe space of therapy which provides support not just for the severe mental health, lifestyle and daily life issues and concerns, but also acts as a space for self care !

Maybe you are aware of what issues you need help to resolve and are needing help with the next step, maybe you have an “itch” that something is not quite right but you are not sure what direction to take, or maybe you are feeling lost or confused in this adventure we call life.

I have worked with individuals from a variety of backgrounds in various types of settings, ranging from inpatient, the court system, community mental health, and private practice, and have had the pleasure of helping clients with a multitude of issues, including: trauma, EMDR, substance use, depression, anxiety, grief, and marital conflict, etc. I understand that being on the journey of self-discovery can be one of the most challenging journeys that we go on as humans, but I hope that you will recruit me as an ally to walk beside you.

Kelsey Miller
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who is passionate about supporting people as they work toward meaningful goals in their lives. I believe every individual brings unique strengths, experiences, and hopes into therapy, and that growth can look different for everyone, from finding small moments of joy to navigating life’s most difficult losses. My goal is to help you reconnect with yourself, recognize your potential, and move forward with greater clarity and compassion. Even in challenging seasons, I believe there is always space for hope, healing, and possibility. I take a person-centered approach that begins with meeting you exactly where you are. Therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all. I don’t believe in quick fixes. Our work is built on trust, understanding, & collaboration. Together, we’ll explore your experiences, what they’ve meant to you, & how they continue to shape your life, at a pace you're comfortable with. Our first session will be like meeting with a friend over coffee or tea. We will sit and talk. Take time to get to know each other, learn what's important. What scares you, makes you happy. If there are questions you don't want to answer or you don't feel comfortable with then we stop. You have total control. I'm here for you and you are in the driver's seat.

Daniel Beasley
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who works 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. My approach is affirming, trauma-informed, and rooted in genuine human connection. I believe therapy should be a space where you feel safe enough to be honest, supported enough to grow, and empowered enough to make meaningful changes in your life. I work collaboratively with clients using evidence-based approaches including CBT, DBT, ACT, motivational interviewing, and trauma-focused interventions, while always adapting therapy to fit the individual—not forcing people into a one-size-fits-all model. I have experience supporting individuals impacted by trauma, addiction, family conflict, systemic stress, burnout, and complex emotional experiences. My work is especially grounded in compassion, dignity, and helping people reconnect with their sense of stability, identity, and purpose. Whether you are carrying longstanding pain or simply trying to navigate a difficult season of life, you do not have to do it alone. Therapy can be a place to slow down, breathe, heal, and begin building the life you want with support along the way.
