A Little Healing LLC
Counselor/Therapist, LPC
I work with women who are used to being the person everyone else can count on but often struggle to give themselves that same care. You may find yourself saying yes when you really want to say no, feeling guilty when you set a boundary, overthinking whether someone is upset with you, or constantly putting other people's feelings and needs ahead of your own. Maybe you look like you have it all together on the outside, but inside you're exhausted, anxious, questioning yourself, or wondering when you lost touch with who you are and what you need. I help women struggling with people-pleasing, low self-esteem, boundaries, anxiety, depression, and trauma understand and heal the deeper wounds and patterns that keep them stuck. My goal isn't to teach you to stop caring about other people or become someone you're not. I want to help you learn how to care about others without continually abandoning yourself in the process. Together, we'll work toward helping you trust yourself, strengthen your voice, set healthier boundaries without being consumed by guilt, develop greater self-compassion, and reconnect with the parts of yourself that may have gotten lost while you were busy being who everyone else needed you to be.

Kelsey Ellis
Psychologist, Ph.D., LCP
Many of the women I work with are capable, caring, and used to holding everything together, even when it comes at the cost of their own bandwidth. From the outside, life may look steady, but internally there can be tension, exhaustion, or a quiet sense of disconnection. I offer trauma informed, relational therapy for women who are ready to understand themselves more deeply and find a way of living that feels more sustainable. My work is grounded in attachment and nervous system awareness, and I approach therapy as a collaborative process rooted in genuine conversation rather than quick fixes. If you are looking for a space where you can show up honestly and feel met as a whole person, I invite you to connect for a consultation.

Althea Dent
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC
My approach to therapy is grounded in collaboration, respect, and practical growth. Therapy with me is a shared process focused on helping you move from feeling stuck toward greater clarity and confidence. I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, solution-focused methods, and a Socratic, meta-questioning style to help clients examine patterns, strengthen self-awareness, and develop effective coping strategies. My work often supports people navigating anxiety, grief, life transitions, and relationship concerns, with an emphasis on tools that can be applied in everyday life. I view the therapeutic relationship as central to meaningful change.
