Shervetta Porter

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.

Kelsey Wisdom

Mental Health Counselor


I'm Kelsey, a Master's Level Mental Health Counselor. Taking the first step toward counseling can feel overwhelming, and it’s normal to feel uncertain or even skeptical about the process. My role is to provide a supportive space where you feel safe, heard, and empowered as you navigate life’s changes. You don’t have to walk this journey alone — together, we can work toward the healthier, more fulfilling life you deserve.


I use an integrative, collaborative approach that combines compassion with gentle challenge to help you expand your perspective, build resilience, and develop tools that truly support your growth. My services are best suited for clients ages 17 and older, and I have a special passion for working with older adults, individuals experiencing grief, and those navigating life with physical disabilities.


Whether you are facing grief, transition, or simply feel stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, my goal is to meet you where you are and walk with you as you take steps forward.


✨ If you’re ready to explore new possibilities and move toward greater wholeness, I would be honored to support you on your journey.

Shennelle Robinson 

Mental Health Counselor


I am Shennelle Robinson. I am a Master’s level clinical mental health therapist, specializing in evidence-based treatments, with a primary focus on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). My clinical work supports individuals across the lifespan, from adolescents to late adulthood, addressing a wide range of emotional, behavioral, and psychological concerns. 


My approach is grounded in helping clients understand the connection between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors while developing practical skills to navigate life’s challenges. Through CBT, I assist clients in identifying and restructuring unhelpful thinking patterns that contribute to anxiety, depression, and stress-related difficulties. Through DBT, I incorporate mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness skills to support individuals experiencing intense emotions, interpersonal challenges, or difficulty managing distress. 


I have experience working with adolescents facing emotional regulation challenges, anxiety, suicidal ideation, as well as adults navigating life transitions, relationship concerns, chronic mental health conditions, and issues related to aging. I tailor interventions to meet each client’s developmental stage, personal goals, and cultural context. In addition to individual therapy, I have experience providing both family and group therapy. I work collaboratively with families to improve communication, strengthen relationships, and support adolescents navigating developmental challenges. In group settings, I facilitate skills-based interventions—particularly DBT-informed groups—that foster peer support, accountability, and the development of effective coping strategies in a structured environment. 


My style is collaborative, supportive, and goal-oriented. I strive to create a safe and nonjudgmental space where clients feel empowered to build resilience, improve coping strategies, and achieve meaningful, lasting change. 


"Healing the soul, heals the heart and the mind-what you think influences your feelings and actions".

Noah Melikian

Mental Health Counselor


I'm Noah, a Master's Level Mental Health Counselor. From an early age, I have felt called to help others — and through my own experiences with mental health, I understand firsthand how difficult it can be to seek support. That journey is what led me to counseling, where I now have the privilege of walking alongside others through their own challenges.


I work with individuals navigating trauma, grief, depression, anxiety, and life’s many transitions. My goal is to provide a safe, compassionate space where you feel heard, supported, and empowered to take steps toward healing and growth.


As a Christian, I also enjoy offering faith-based counseling for clients who wish to integrate their spirituality into the therapeutic process. Whether you come from a background where counseling wasn’t encouraged, or you’ve felt pressure to “handle everything on your own,” I want you to know that reaching out is a sign of strength, not weakness.


✨No matter where you are on your journey, I’m here to meet you with understanding and walk with you toward hope and healing.

Michelle Jeffery

Mental Health Counselor


I believe no one should have to face life’s challenges alone. My heart is to walk alongside individuals, couples, families, and groups who are ready to take the courageous step toward growth, healing, and change.


I work with clients navigating a wide range of challenges — including boundaries, self-esteem, relationships, trauma, addiction, codependency, behavioral concerns, anger management, depression, and anxiety. Whatever you may be facing, my role is to provide support with compassion, empathy, and encouragement.


I draw from a Person-Centered approach and integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Play Therapy techniques to tailor treatment to each client’s unique needs. My passion is to create a safe and welcoming space where clients of any age, gender, or background feel seen, heard, and empowered to explore their experiences and move forward toward their goals.


✨Together, we’ll work to uncover strengths, build resilience, and create meaningful change. When you’re ready, I’ll be here to walk with you on your journey

Bhavi Patel

Mental Health Counselor


I am passionate about creating a warm, supportive, and compassionate space where clients feel heard, understood, and comfortable exploring the experiences that have shaped their lives.


I primarily work with adults navigating complex trauma and dissociation, intergenerational trauma, relationship challenges, and identity concerns. I also have a growing clinical interest in supporting individuals experiencing body image concerns and eating disorders. I recognize that reaching out for counseling can feel vulnerable, and I strive to meet each client with empathy, curiosity, and respect for their unique experiences.


My counseling approach is relational, trauma-informed, and collaborative. Rather than simply focusing on symptoms, we work together to understand the deeper patterns, relationships, emotions, and experiences that may be influencing how you feel and function today. Sometimes, the ways we learned to protect ourselves were necessary during difficult seasons of life but may no longer serve us in the same way. Therapy can provide a safe place to understand these patterns with compassion while developing healthier and more meaningful ways of moving forward.


My therapeutic style is reflective and depth-oriented while remaining grounded in the present moment. I integrate somatic and body-based practices, psychodynamic principles, narrative therapy, and creative arts approaches to support the counseling process. These approaches can be especially helpful when experiences or emotions are difficult to express through words alone.


Above all, I want therapy to be a place where you can better understand yourself, strengthen trust in yourself, and feel less defined by the experiences and patterns of your past. Together, we can work toward greater emotional awareness, healthier relationships, deeper connections, and the goals that are most meaningful to you.


You do not have to have everything figured out before beginning therapy. We can start where you are and move forward together, at a pace that honors your needs and your story. My hope is that our work helps you feel more grounded, connected, confident, and empowered to live your life more fully.

Allison Glantz, MA

Hi, I’m Allie Glantz, a master’s-level mental health counselor. I believe therapy offers a supportive space to slow down, deepen self-understanding, and create meaningful change while feeling comfortable showing up as your authentic self.


I work with individuals across the lifespan, with particular experience supporting young adults. I welcome clients of all backgrounds and strive to foster a collaborative, inclusive, and nonjudgmental relationship where you feel heard, understood, and supported.

My approach is trauma-informed, attachment-focused, and grounded in evidence-based practices, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Together, we can explore how emotions, relationships, and past experiences shape current patterns while developing practical skills to help you feel more grounded and confident in daily life.


I have experience supporting individuals navigating anxiety, trauma, grief, life transitions, significant emotional distress, suicidal ideation, and serious mental illness. My clinical background includes both individual and group therapy.

I view difficult emotions not simply as problems to overcome, but as meaningful signals that can offer insight into our needs and experiences. Therapy does not have to be about becoming someone different. It can be an opportunity to strengthen your relationship with yourself and others and to build a life that feels more aligned with who you are.


If you’re ready for something to feel different, I would be honored to support you in that process.
