Jenelle N. Ashley
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC, MCAP, CCTP
You deserve a life that feels more peaceful, fulfilling, and genuinely your own.
Sometimes, the hardest part is understanding why you keep finding yourself in the same patterns, second-guessing yourself, struggling with self-worth, feeling anxious or overwhelmed, or carrying the pressure to hold everything together. Therapy can be a space to slow down, understand your story, and begin making different choices.
I work with adults who are ready to better understand themselves, strengthen their self-worth, and develop healthier ways of navigating relationships, emotions, and life’s challenges. Together, we can explore the experiences and patterns that may be keeping you stuck while building greater self-awareness, confidence, and emotional flexibility.
You are the expert on your own life. My role is to provide the support, perspective, and tools to help you better understand yourself and create meaningful change. A strong therapeutic relationship is at the heart of that process, and I strive to create a space where you feel understood, respected, and safe to be honest about what you're experiencing.

Shanea McDaniel
Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, APRN, PMHNP-BC
Seeking mental health care is a courageous step, and my goal is to provide a space where you feel heard, respected, and empowered throughout your journey. As a board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with more than 18 years of nursing experience, I believe that effective treatment begins with understanding the whole person—not just the diagnosis.
I work collaboratively with each client to develop personalized treatment plans that align with their goals, values, and lifestyle. While medication can be an important part of treatment, I also incorporate evidence-based psychotherapy, holistic strategies, and practical coping skills to help clients build lasting emotional wellness. My approach is warm, nonjudgmental, and focused on creating meaningful, long-term change rather than simply managing symptoms.
Whether you're navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, relationship challenges, women's mental health concerns, or life transitions, I strive to provide compassionate, evidence-based care that helps you regain confidence, resilience, and balance. I am passionate about reducing the stigma surrounding mental health and making high-quality psychiatric care accessible through convenient virtual appointments.

Tara McGrath
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
My clients are typically LGBTQIA+ professionals in their 30s and 40s who are struggling with some aspects of relationships or dating, and with their own self-worth, often because of a conservative, religious upbringing. I help people learn to manage anxiety and improve their relationships with others, and we go beyond just scratching the surface. Some of my clients are in the process of coming out for the first time. Many are experiencing the aftermath of religious harm or religious trauma. Many are trans folks in the process of their transition.
