Taj Maddox
Counselor/Therapist, Associate Professional Counselor
You’ve spent a lot of your life being the strong one. Maybe you’ve learned to push through difficult emotions because slowing down never felt like an option. Maybe you’re the person everyone depends on, yet you struggle to feel deeply known, supported, or chosen in your relationships. If you’re exhausted from holding everything together, caught in perfectionism or people-pleasing, or stuck in the same relationship patterns, you don’t have to keep pushing through. Therapy can offer a soft, safe place to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and build relationships that feel more connected and fulfilling.
Taj is an Associate Professional Counselor under the supervision of Dr. Latrice Love, LPC-S (LPC009331).

Charonda P. Gardner
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, CPCS
I work with individuals to heal and recover from childhood trauma, codependency, people pleasing, self-abandonment, poor boundaries, and low self-worth. I especially enjoy working with those who identify as Empath or Highly Sensitive, those who have experienced an “awakening”, those attempting to understand their purpose, and those in search of their authentic selves. I also enjoy working with other therapists, helpers, and healers as a therapist supervisor and consultant.

Roderic Burks - Integrative Mental Health
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, MS, MS HSc, MA, LMHC, LPC
I believe therapy is a space for deep, meaningful change—not just symptom relief. My work is grounded in a parts-based practice, depth psychology, and a trauma-informed lens, helping clients explore the aspects of themselves shaped by past experiences, relationships, and unconscious patterns. I approach this process with curiosity, compassion, and respect for your unique story.
I specialize in working with trauma recovery, mood disorders, depression, anxiety, codependency, and relationship issues. I view these challenges not simply as problems to eliminate, but as signals pointing toward deeper patterns that deserve attention and care. Together, we create a space where all parts of you are welcome—especially those that have been overworked, hidden, or misunderstood.
My goal is to help you develop greater self-awareness, inner balance, and a more authentic relationship with yourself and others.

Adriel D. Johnson, Jr.
Counselor/Therapist, DBH, LPC, NCC, CCMHC, BCC
I became a therapist because I believe that everyone deserves to have a gentle, non-judgemental listening ear while attempting to problem solve some of life's most difficult moments. For me, the therapeutic relationship is a special connection that allows for creativity, exploration, discovery, and empowerment.

Leandra Desinord
Marriage and Family Therapist, LPC
Who are you when no one’s around?
If you struggle to answer that question, you're not alone.
Maybe you've become really good at being who everyone else needs you to be. The dependable daughter. The successful professional. The partner who holds everything together. The woman who can handle just about anything — until you're alone with yourself and realize you don't quite know what you need anymore.
You don't have to arrive with everything figured out. You just have to be willing to get curious about yourself.
Who are you when no one's around?
Let's find out.
