Rebekah Ruth Jones, Ed.D., LPC
Licensed Professional Counselor, Ed.D., LPC
It is my belief that a large portion of human suffering is the product of relationships, either the lack thereof or the presence of unhealthy interactions. We were never meant to navigate life alone. As such, we are not prepared to solve problems in a vacuum. For these reasons, I practice from a collaborative stance with my clients.
You can expect direct but kind observations and feedback when working with me. I honor your time and your investment, as such, I will not always say what you would like to hear but instead will share insights with you truthfully but not from a place of authority. Ultimately, you have authority over your own life and the choices that move you forward.

Ashley Higgins
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I have dedicated my practice to working with individuals in eating disorder recovery, recovery from disordered eating, or who are struggling in their relationship with their body. I hope to be a partner in your recovery journey, offering support and skills. You don't have to identify as having an eating disorder (or believe you are "sick enough") to want a more peaceful relationship with your body. Recovery is always possible, even though it is more complex and complicated than ever. There is an overwhelming amount of information about health, wellness, and recovery- I am here to help you sort through the noise and find what works for you!

Robin Britt
Counselor/Therapist, LPC-S
What makes me a good fit for you?
With over 20 years of experience as a Licensed Professional Counselor, I've sat with hundreds of people in some of their hardest moments — and I've lived through a few of my own.
I know anxiety from the inside. I've felt that restless, relentless weight, and I've done the work to move through it. That means when you describe what you're carrying, I'm not just nodding from a textbook — I genuinely get it.
As a parent of a child on the autism spectrum, I also bring something that no training alone can give: the real, daily experience of loving and advocating for a neurodiverse family member. Whether you're a parent navigating that road or an individual on the spectrum yourself, you'll find in me someone who understands your world with both professional knowledge and personal heart.
For couples, I'm certified in the Gottman Method — one of the most research-backed approaches to relationship healing — which means our work together is grounded in what actually helps partnerships grow, not just survive.
I show up warm, real, and fully present. My clients tell me they feel heard in a way they haven't before. If you're looking for a therapist who brings both clinical depth and lived humanity to the room — and who welcomes faith as part of the journey when that matters to you — I'd be honored to walk alongside you.
