Vada Counseling
Counselor/Therapist
At Vada Counseling, all of our therapists are queer and/or trans, and we bring that lived experience into every session. We understand the realities you’re navigating, and you won't have to explain, defend, or translate your identity or experiences. Our work is grounded in liberation, cultural humility, and care that rejects pathologizing frameworks.
We focus on collaborative, transparent therapy where consent, autonomy, and shared power lead the way. Clients come to us when they want support that recognizes trauma, identity, and systemic harm without losing sight of individual strengths and self-determination. If you’re looking for care rooted in decolonizing and anti-carceral values, Vada Counseling offers a space where you can simply be, and be understood.

Melinda Switzer - Beauty for Ashes Trauma Therapy and Treatment
Counselor/Therapist, Melinda Switzer, MA, LPC, NCC
As one who has experienced complex trauma myself, I believe I can relate to my clients’ experiences and needs. My philosophy is no one should have to live under the shadow of trauma and how it affects the body. Trauma can be tough on survivors, but there is help and hope for healing. Most trauma victims exhibit some signs and symptoms of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). This can lead to Anxiety, Depression, Disassociation, and a myriad of other mental illnesses. These are the areas I specialize in by offering healing and hope to my clients allowing them to be in control of their trauma and not their trauma being in control of them. Strong mental health is so important and can change the trajectory of your life by helping you go from debilitating disorders to manageable and healthy mental health.

Madison Short Conteh - Joy in the Morning Counseling
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, RPT
I've been practicing as a Licensed Professional Counselor and Registered Play Therapist for nearly a decade now, and I love this work because it is so full of hope. Usually, when people come to see me, they're not feeling very hopeful, because the problem feels too big to handle. It's sucking the joy out of their relationships, or their life, and they're overwhelmed. Life has let them down, they've been disappointed, and now they're stuck in a spiral of the worst feelings. Some part of them though, knows there is hope out there, that things can be better and they can have relief. That's where therapy, and my role in your story, comes in. I get to hold the hope for you, because I know this path. I've been walking it with people just like you for years. I know that parts of this path are hard, or scary, or beautiful, or relaxing, and I know that all of it is heading towards you experiencing freedom. We walk it together so that you don't have to hold your own burdens,
I have special skills that help us along the path like EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). This is a way we use the brain's natural ability to process information, and alleviate feeling stuck in a past experience or experiences. It's especially useful for trauma.
I use Person Centered Talk Therapy. We create the space to sit together with what's on your mind or your heart, to give it what it needs, and move through it.
I use Child Centered Play Therapy so that kids can have the same benefits of therapy as adults, but in a child-attuned way. Kids aren't ready to talk through things, they express them through behaviors. Play therapy gives kids the opportunity to play through those behaviors and find healing.
With parents I offer Child Parent Relationship Therapy training, where I give you the same tools I use as a therapist, but to use within your own home.
In all of this, I often integrate things like somatic work, parts work, and sandtray work.

Tiffany Ziegler
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
I work with clients who may be overwhelmed with all of life's demands and needs. This can lead to anxiety, depression, burnout or a general sense of not knowing who we are. I approach therapy with openness, curiosity, and compassion. My therapy style works to balance compassion with challenge and insight with action to help you break patterns and feel less stuck.

Jamie Heavey
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, ATR
As an exclusive licensed professional counselor and registered art therapist, I provide a unique and personalized approach to mental health that combines the power of talk therapy with the restorative benefits of nature walks. Welcome to my counseling and art therapy practice, where emotional healing meets the great outdoors.
My passion for helping individuals overcome emotional challenges comes from my own personal experiences. Through my own journey of healing and self-discovery, I discovered the transformative power of nature and its ability to promote relaxation and healing. This inspired me to integrate nature walks into my counseling and art therapy practice.
At my practice, I work with individuals who are experiencing a wide range of emotional challenges, from anxiety and depression to relationship issues and trauma. By combining traditional talk therapy with the restorative power of nature walks, I help clients to reduce stress, gain self-awareness, and develop new coping skills.
As an LPC and art therapist, I provide a supportive and confidential space for clients to express their thoughts and emotions. Through the use of various art materials and techniques, clients can explore and express themselves in a creative and non-verbal way. Nature walks are also incorporated into therapy sessions, allowing clients to connect with nature and experience its restorative benefits.
I offer individual and group sessions, tailored to each client's unique needs and goals. Whether you're new to therapy or have prior experience, I provide a welcoming and non-judgmental space for everyone. Together, we can embark on a journey of self-discovery and emotional healing, while surrounded by the beauty and healing power of nature.
If you're ready to take the first step towards a brighter future, I invite you to contact me today to schedule a consultation. Let's work together to help you achieve emotional healing and personal growth, while experiencing the restorative power of nature.
