Life is hard and we all need a supportive safe space from time to time to process and heal. I walk with my clients through the trials of life with compassion and 30 years of experience bringing an accepting presence, clinical expertise and if desired, the wisdom of a Christian worldview.

We are more than a business, we are a ministry to any who come to us in need for help. We have multiple counselors: Glyndora Condon MS MFT LPC CTMH, CCTP EMDRIA ACS: specializing in behavioral, relational (marriage, couple, children, friendships) emotional, trauma, anger, autism, domestic violence, life transitions, dissociative, addictions, and provides certified classes for DV, Anger, A&D, and Parenting; also Kelly Brownlow, MS SW, who specializes Family/Children/Adolescent and behavioral issues. Amanda Teague MSW, trauma and DID; Lakita Quarles, LME; Family, adolescents, A&D issues. Cierra Cannaly MFT-Child and adult, multi-issue

My specialty is focused on helping individuals who struggle with anxiety disorders by targeting the somatic symptoms, irrational thoughts, and behavioral patterns keeping them from growing into their best versions of themselves. I also specialize in helping women struggling after traumatic experiences, navigating difficult life transitions, and healing after relationship conflicts. You do not need to navigate these difficulties on your own, and I am here to walk alongside you on your healing journey by empowering you to find meaning in your hardships and overcome the challenges that life has thrown in your path.

I love to work with teens & adult individuals who are experiencing anxiety, depression, the impacts of trauma, self worth issues, and women’s issues. It can be overwhelming to sort through all the old thoughts, emotions, and relationship patterns on our own. You deserve a supportive place to find your truth & the space to heal.

Do you long to grow through your pain but find yourself struggling most days just to keep your head above water? Do you wish for greater purpose and meaning but instead confusion and despair are filing your days? Is the thought of simply surviving a scary one, when you would much prefer to be thriving and living fully in the present moment? Walking through life in the ways I just described makes most of us feel weary, lost, alone, and sometimes downright hopeless. It’s not fun when life begins to feel like an uphill battle instead of the sweet life you had always imagined, and you don’t deserve to have to walk that road alone.

Since 1980 my professional counseling career has assisted thousands of individuals, couples and families in discarding negative self image, dysfunctional ways of relating, and ineffective decision making. My expertise also includes a variety of human sexuality issues and serving the L.G.B.T.I.Q. Community. Although I do not accept Emails, I look forward to your phone call.

I am passionate about walking alongside individuals who feel beat down and weary from life’s burdens. Life is not easy, but having someone with an outside view can really help provide the clarity and insight we need. If you are hurting, struggling to stay hopeful, or having trouble finding direction, I would be honored to hear your story and walk with you towards hope and healing.

Over the past 13 years, I have worked with a variety of challenges ages 5 to 75. With a double Masters degree in School Counseling and Mental Health, I have a unique training background. Skilled in relationship counseling that reaches family, school and personal issues, I would like the opportunity to talk with you more about how my training and experience can assist you or your family. When you can't look on the bright side, I will sit with you in the dark. Life is difficult. Sometimes we need the help of others who have walked through difficult things themselves and have walked this journey with others.

I have been in the practice of Social Work many years. I have a thirst for learning and I greet change with open arms. I completed my training as a nurse at age 55 and have incorporated my nursing skills with my years of Social Work training and experience. During this time I have learned that all people have their answers inside and my job is to help them recognize and build on those answers. Having experienced many situations in my own life I’ve learned to persist and sometimes back up and regroup. I have a lot of joy in my life and hope to help you find yours. I offer animal assisted therapy with Teddy, 5 yo Wheaten Terrier.

Feeling lost, empty, overwhelmed, or a sense that something is wrong with you? Does it seem like you’re always stuck between feeling like ‘too much’ or ‘not enough?’ Maybe you’ve never truly felt seen, or you push others away before they can see the real you. To be authentically heard, understood, and accepted are fundamental human needs. Whether you’re seeking therapy to heal wounds, navigate relationships, break patterns of self-sabotage, or to explore your identity, I am honored to be a part of your journey.

I view counseling as a journey of awareness, growth, and self-compassion. As your travel companion, I aim to provide insight, encouragement, and a gentle nudge to help you reach your destination. I work with individuals, groups, and families of all ages and backgrounds and have specialized experience helping clients with issues of anxiety, grief, trauma, spirituality, self-harm, and gender identity. When appropriate, I offer dreamwork, sandtray therapy, and psychotherapeutic Reiki interventions. My approach is collaborative and respectful, primarily drawing from an integration of humanistic, cognitive, and narrative frameworks.

Hi! I’m Kate. If you’re here, you’re already brave. It takes tremendous bravery and courage to seek professional help, to sit with and process some feelings of hurt. I believe it to be an incredible privilege to work as a counselor. To be trusted with some of the most vulnerable places in an individual’s life is an honor and I will uphold your story with integrity. I believe in the concept of wellness, in healing the whole person rather than a diagnosis or a problem. I consider counseling to be beneficial for all people, regardless of what may bring someone into my space. I would love to work together towards a journey of healing!

As humans, we innately desire to be connected to and understood by others. For some, connection feels terrifying, confusing, and unsafe. I can help you build and foster a life with fulfilling relationships, with others & with yourself. My goal is to help you access bravery & empowerment so that your whole, authentic self drives your actions instead of fear. Stop obsessing, people pleasing, & stewing in resentment. Heal the root of feeling misunderstood, unloveable, and out of place. Learn to engage in honest conversations rather than only speaking your truth when you're alone. Create powerful community and deep meaning in your life.

My approach to therapy is to provide an environment for clients to explore and overcome the problems they are facing. With couples, I focus on improving communication, emotional connection, and satisfaction within the relationship. With parents, I help develop effective parenting strategies and provide support through challenging situations. With individuals, couples, and parents my aim is to help clients achieve their goals and improve their overall well-being. Ultimately, my goal is to help clients develop the tools they need to lead a more fulfilling and satisfying life.

Each of us is on a journey, and sometimes this journey can become quite stressful. At times we need someone on the outside looking in, to help us gain perspective and to encourage us toward healthy change. I have a passion to walk alongside others in their journeys to offer hope and help in healing. My Christian perspective and person-centered approach allows me to value each person as a fellow Image-bearer. I strive to create a safe environment, holding strongly to a non-judgmental stance, so that clients may feel accepted for who they are.

I get what it feels like to feel stuck...seemingly unable to move forward or backward. At my group practice, Unstuck, we are professional therapists and counselors who seek to provide genuine, confidential, safe, and healing space for anyone who feels stuck in life. We focus on individuals and couples working through relationship struggles, symptoms of depression or anxiety, navigating life transitions, coming out trauma, dealing with family dynamics, spiritual questioning, or anything that makes them feel stuck or trapped in their current circumstances.

Licensed in Florida, Georgia, New Hampshire, Wisconsin, Tennessee, and South Carolina. I have discovered that virtual counseling is just as effective as in person and is extremely convenient. We are able to maintain a personal, intimate setting. You will receive a warm, compassionate, non-judgmental, and safe space to explore and implement solutions. You will be provided with options to build on your personal strengths and make improvements in your life. I have been providing services to a variety of people and appreciate the opportunity to be a part of assisting you on your journey to achieve your dreams and goals.

Anxiety and depression can make us feel stuck, but there is hope. Stress feels overwhelming, but this too shall pass. Relationship challenges can feel like the end of the world, but you can overcome. I want to help you get better and reclaim your strength. Often people are intimidated by the thought of going to see a therapist. Therapy doesn’t have to be painful, it is a process to having a better understanding of yourself.
