Akilah Yates
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCPC, NCC, CCTP, CTMH
Childhood and adolescence can bring emotional, social, and behavioral challenges that are difficult to navigate. From academic stress and peer relationships to self-esteem, anxiety, and family conflict, young people often need a safe space to express themselves. I provide an encouraging, age-appropriate therapeutic environment where children and adolescents can explore their emotions, develop healthy coping skills, improve communication, and strengthen their confidence. I also recognize the importance of family dynamics and supportive relationships in fostering emotional growth and overall well-being.

Nefertiti Nowell
Therapist, Dr.
Seeking help is a powerful step to improving your quality of life. Talking to someone about whatever your concerns are is something that almost anyone can benefit from, but many people are afraid to reach out. If you are considering therapy or coaching, I applaud you, and I really do want to help you find what you need to feel POWERFUL and help you develop the tools to have peace in your life.
I enjoy working with diverse clients, and have treated patients on the inpatient as well as outpatient basis. I began providing therapy in 1996, and have worked full time in several local hospitals before deciding to work full time in outpatient private practice. Though I work with many populations, I enjoy helping individuals with issues of trauma as well as working with couples. I work with all age ranges and have helped clients with a range of diagnosis. I use a variety of techniques, including but not limited to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and EMDR. I am also a Certified Hypnotist and a trained mediator.
