Janika Williams
Licensed Professional Counselor, M.Ed, LPC, CSC
My approach to therapy is rooted in a simple belief: no two people experience life the same way, so therapy shouldn’t look the same for everyone. As a Licensed Professional Counselor with a background in education and school counseling, I bring years of experience working with individuals, children, and families, along with an understanding of how our early experiences, relationships, and environments shape who we become.
The name Poplar Belief is a play on the phrase “popular belief.” So much of what we believe about ourselves, our relationships, and the world comes from things we’ve learned or accepted as truth, often without questioning them. But just because a belief is familiar doesn’t mean it’s serving us.
That’s the heart of my work. I take a person centered, collaborative approach that creates space for clients to feel heard, while also challenging the beliefs and patterns that may be keeping them stuck. My goal is not to tell you who to become, but to help you discover what’s possible when you begin questioning what you’ve always believed to be true.

Elizabeth Starnes
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC-S, ATR-BC®, REAT
I work with adults navigating trauma and PTSD, anxiety, grief, relationship concerns, and life transitions. My approach is warm, person-centered, trauma-informed, and attentive to the ways experiences are held in the body. Along with conversation, we may use art, visual journaling, writing, movement, metaphor, or other creative practices to explore what can be difficult to express in words. No artistic ability or experience is needed.
Together, we can, at your own pace, explore how past experiences continue to shape your thoughts, relationships, emotions, and sense of self. This work is not about pressuring you to change or telling you who you should become. It is about helping you reconnect with your own voice, develop greater trust in yourself, and discover ways of moving forward that feel authentic to you.
My approach integrates talk therapy with expressive arts therapy, grounded in specialized training in art therapy and intermodal expressive work. This means we actively use modalities such as visual journaling, storytelling, movement, and other forms of creative expression as part of the therapeutic process—not just talking about your experiences, but engaging with them in ways that support deeper understanding and change.
Clients often describe me as steady, down-to-earth, and genuine. I value creating a space where you feel safe, seen, and able to show up as you are.

Kevin Brown, Therapy in Mindfulness
Counselor/Therapist, LPC
You're here because you're feeling stressed, stuck, or simply wanting to grow—and I’m here to help. Together, we will navigate the internal and external challenges you’re facing, so you can move through them with greater ease and clarity. In our work, your feelings, process, and perspective will be validated and supported in a safe, compassionate space. And sometimes, we don’t always see or understand what we truly need. My approach to therapy helps you develop the skills to navigate relational and emotional challenges while deepening your understanding of what may be missing and how to meet those needs. Life is already hard enough—you don’t have to do it alone. I’m here to offer you a safe, skillful, and supportive space so you don’t have to.

Shawna Damiani
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Hi, I'm Shawna. I'm really glad you're here — and I know that finding the right therapist can feel like a lot. My hope is that by the time you finish reading this, you'll have a sense of who I am and whether we might be a good fit.
I work with adults who are carrying things that feel heavy — whether that's the weight of past trauma, the complexity of relationships that keep hitting the same walls, or the experience of moving through a world that wasn't quite designed for the way your brain works. I specialize in trauma and PTSD, relationship challenges, and supporting adults with ADHD and autism who are often figuring out a lot about themselves for the first time.
A lot of my clients come to me feeling like something is wrong with them. My job — and honestly, my passion — is helping people see that they've been responding to hard things in the most human ways possible. Healing isn't about fixing yourself. It's about understanding yourself.
My approach is collaborative and down-to-earth. I'm not going to sit silently and nod — I show up as a real person in the room with you. Therapy with me tends to feel like an honest, sometimes even humorous conversation, grounded in real tools and genuine care.
If any of this resonates, I'd love to hear from you. Reaching out is the hardest part — and you've already started.
