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.

Tina Nickels
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
Some might describe me as mature or wise. I have a colorful history full of life experiences and I have the ability to connect with people on their level, whatever their experiences may be. I love to empower people, especially women. I know life can be overwhelming, and I have techniques to help people create and utilize coping skills that will work for them. Some people just need to be heard, and I am an excellent listener.

We believe in supporting you as you release the weight of past experiences, rediscover your self-worth, and step into your authentic identity.

Melaney Flaniken
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, B.S., Integrative Health Studies M.S., Clinical Mental Health Counseling
My counseling is rooted in trauma-informed care, existential exploration, and evidence-based practices like CBT and ERP. Whether you’re facing anxiety, navigating a life transition, or simply longing for more meaning and connection, we’ll work together to create a space where your voice matters and your goals guide the way.
You won’t get a one-size-fits-all approach here. Instead, you’ll be met exactly where you are—with compassion, curiosity, and a belief in your capacity to grow and heal.
If you're ready to explore your story, shift what’s no longer working, and step into a more empowered version of yourself, I invite you to reach out. Your healing starts with a single conversation—and I’m here when you’re ready.
