CEO, Licensed Professional Counselor, Clinical Supervisor, Business Consultant

I’m Shervetta Porter, a Licensed Professional Counselor, Clinical Supervisor, and Business Consultant. I believe that everyone deserves a safe place to find support, gain clarity, and begin moving forward again.

I work with individuals, couples, and families who may be struggling with challenges such as relationship issues, codependency, parenting concerns, self-esteem, emotion regulation, weight loss and obesity, or even difficulties related to the legal system. I have extensive experience working with survivors of abuse in its many forms and find deep purpose in helping others rebuild and reclaim their lives, step by step.

My specialties include boundaries, relationship health, self-esteem, and codependency, and I also offer Christian Counseling for those who desire faith-based support in their healing journey.

My role is to walk alongside you as both a counselor and an accountability partner — helping you navigate the challenges that keep you feeling stuck, while encouraging growth, strength, and resilience.

✨You don’t have to go through this alone. Reach out today and take the first step toward healing and wholeness.

Mental Health Counselor, Supervisor IV

Taking the first step toward counseling can feel difficult, and I want you to know that you don’t have to face it alone. I’m Sara, a licensed Master’s Level Counselor who graduated in 2021, and I’m passionate about creating a space where clients feel safe, supported, and truly heard.

I have experience working with both adolescents and adults in areas such as depression, anxiety, trauma, and substance use. My approach is centered on tailoring treatment to each individual’s unique needs, helping you build coping strategies and discover your inner strength.

In our work together, my goal is to provide a welcoming, nonjudgmental environment where you can be yourself and take steps toward healing, growth, and becoming the best version of you.

✨You don’t have to walk this journey alone — I’d be honored to walk alongside you.

Mental Health Counselor

Hello! My name is Christine Okeke. I am a Master’s Level Mental Health Counselor and a Nationally Certified Counselor (NCC).  

Life has its challenges, but I sincerely believe in the power of individuals to bring about change in their own lives. While I believe that the counselor-client relationship is collaborative, my desire is to allow clients to, with my support, take the lead in setting and reaching their therapeutic goals to experience wholeness in all areas of their lives.  

My theoretical orientation is primarily humanistic. I take a person/client-centered approach to counseling in which I foster an environment of trust and safety where my clients can feel comfortable to express the full range of their thoughts and emotions without judgment. In counseling, I also integrate a variety of therapies, such as CBT and existential therapy, in order to meet my clients’ needs.  

I have experience working with individuals through challenges such as depression, anxiety, trauma, ADHD, low self-esteem, anger management, grief, and life transitions. I look forward to partnering with you to become the healthiest possible version of yourself.  

You are not alone. Let’s work together to achieve the fullness of life that every person deserves.

I believe that everyone deserves to feel heard, understood, supported, and empowered to create positive change in their lives. It is a privilege to walk alongside individuals as they work toward healing, personal growth, and identifying a greater sense of purpose. 

My therapeutic approach is grounded in a humanistic and person-centered orientation, which emphasizes empathy, compassion, active listening, authenticity, and meeting each individual where they are in their unique journey. I strive to create a safe, welcoming, and nonjudgmental environment where clients feel comfortable expressing their thoughts, emotions, and experiences. I believe that therapy is a collaborative process, and I work alongside each individual to identify their strengths, build confidence, and develop practical tools that support lasting growth.

My therapeutic interventions include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), narrative therapy, mindfulness-based techniques, and emotional regulation strategies. Some of my areas of focus include assertive communication, stress reduction, healthy boundaries, self-esteem, emotional regulation, and purpose-building. I aspire to help clients rediscover their strengths, passions, and values most important to them.

I am grateful for the opportunity to promote healing conversations, re-instill hope, and help individuals cultivate a fulfilling and meaningful lifestyle. Whether you are working through a difficult season, seeking greater self-understanding, or simply wanting to create positive change in your life, I would be honored to support you along the way as you prioritize healing and self-discovery.
