Valiant Minds Counseling, P.C.
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, ADHD-CCSP
I believe that every person, no matter their circumstances or struggles, has a valiant mind. Therefore, I believe that each of my clients are the experts of their own life and that my job is to meet each client wherever they currently are on their journey and to walk alongside them in order to help facilitate growth and change. In 2004, I graduated from Chatham University with a Masters in Counseling Psychology and have since gained extensive experience in the treatment of adult and childhood psychological and neurobehavioral disorders. My sessions predominantly use cognitive behavioral therapy techniques, where I help my clients to understand how their thoughts affect their feelings and behaviors. I also use other psychotherapy techniques that provide comprehensive perspectives to my clients and enhance mind, body such as positive psychology, existentialist philosophy, and mindfulness meditation. My goal is to help my clients broaden their awareness, challenge problematic patterns, learn healthy coping skills, live mindfully and confidently, and seek their unique version of joy. Above all, I am committed to creating therapeutic relationships that are built on trust, respect, transparency, empathy, honesty, and equality, and I always counsel from a nonjudgmental place of understanding and compassion.

Journey to Healing Counseling Associates, LLC
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, NCC
What makes my practice truly special is the deep sense of purpose and care I bring to every therapeutic relationship. I don't believe in one-size-fits-all therapy. Each client who walks through my (virtual) door is met with respect, compassion, and a genuine desire to understand their unique story. My practice is rooted in the belief that healing happens not just through techniques, but through connection, safety, and trust.
I specialize in working with adults navigating trauma, PTSD, CPTSD, depression, anxiety, and other complex emotional challenges. These experiences often leave people feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck—but I’m here to help you find your way back to yourself. My approach is trauma-informed and client-centered, meaning that your voice, your pace, and your goals guide the work we do together.

Brianna Kriley, Wellness Rooted Counseling
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, PhD, ACS, NCC, LMHC, LPC
I truly believe in the power of mental health counseling—not just as a therapist, but as someone who’s benefited from therapy myself. I see therapy as a tool to help you find balance and lasting change, not something you need forever, but something that can give you skills and insights you’ll use for life. I love walking alongside people on their journeys and feel honored to be part of that process. My style is authentic and adaptable; I show up as myself and tailor my approach to what works best for you. If we find it’s not the right fit, I’ll support you in finding someone who is. My goal is for you to feel seen, heard, and empowered.

Kate Kittredge
Psychologist, PsyD, PMH-C, LP
You don’t have to navigate life’s hardest seasons alone. I believe therapy is a place where you can take off the mask, exhale, and be met with empathy, curiosity, and respect. My role is to walk beside you—helping you find meaning, healing, and a renewed sense of connection to yourself and the people you love.
My approach is humanistic and person-centered, grounded in the belief that you are the expert on your own life. I blend evidence-based and experiential methods, drawing from somatic and brain-based modalities such as Brainspotting to support both emotional and physiological healing. Our work together unfolds at your pace, guided by what feels most important and authentic to you.
I specialize in supporting individuals through the perinatal period—including pregnancy, postpartum, infertility, pregnancy or birth trauma, loss, and the complex emotions that accompany the journey of building a family. I also work with those experiencing anxiety, burnout, grief, or major life transitions, helping clients reconnect with their sense of stability and self-trust.
In therapy, we’ll explore not only the stories you tell yourself but also how those stories live in your body. Together, we’ll learn to listen to what your nervous system is communicating, create space for what’s been held too tightly, and build new ways of coping and thriving.
My goal is to help you feel more at home within yourself—to find a sense of balance, clarity, and self-compassion, even when life feels uncertain. Healing isn’t about erasing pain; it’s about creating room for hope and meaning to grow beside it.
If you’re ready to begin—or even if you’re not sure where to start—I’ll meet you right where you are. You deserve support that honors your whole self.

Jonah Taylor
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
What makes my practice unique is its integrative depth. I specialize in helping both individuals and couples understand the 'why' behind their patterns. Often, the very skills that serve people well professionally—like logic and control—become sources of frustration in their intimate lives, leading to communication breakdown, emotional withdrawal, or a loss of sexual connection. By blending the emotional science of EFT for couples, the deep insight of Psychodynamic Therapy for individuals, and specialized training in Sex Therapy, we work together to build the flexibility and vulnerability needed for true intimacy.

Summer Hecht
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, DSW, LCSW-C
Hi there! I'm so glad you're here.
I am a doctoral-level social worker who has been practicing for over twelve years. I believe in the power of the therapeutic relationship, and I'm a great fit for anyone who has ever left a therapy session disappointed because they were hoping for something that felt more authentic or for a space that allowed you to feel safe to be your entire self.
I provide couples, individual, and family therapy, as well as parent coaching. With couples, I am trained in Emotionally-Focused Therapy and Gottman Therapy. I believe that focusing on connection, relationship strengths that already exist, and respect make couples therapy the most successful. For families, similarly, building mutual respect and communication can improve overall functioning and restore peace. For parents, I focus on creating secure attachment, consistently enforcing realistic boundaries, and mutual respect. I support individuals in identifying personal values and recognizing unhelpful patterns so that a plan for moving forward meaningfully can be made.
I'm a perfect fit for you if you're feeling burnt out, overwhelmed, lonely, or unfulfilled. I support moms who have experienced birth trauma, NICU stays, infertility, postpartum depression and anxiety, or who are simply not adjusting to motherhood like they thought they would. I support parents who have multiples, who know they want to break generational patterns but aren't sure how, and who want to gentle parent effectively (not permissively). I work with individuals with ADHD (formally diagnosed or self-diagnosed), especially women with ADHD who may not have been diagnosed until adulthood due to compensating with overfunctioning and perfectionism. I work with individuals recovering from emotionally immature parents and with couples who are struggling to connect despite loving each other.
If any of this resonates you, I am accepting new clients and look forward to chatting with you to see if we might be a good fit! I know how overwhelming it can be to find a therapist who will be supportive, gently challenge you, and show up authentically and empathetically. I am that therapist and I can't wait to get started on helping you achieve your goals.
