Meet Our Team
Hi, my name is Sierra!
Let's talk about it.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Virginia. I am passionate about serving those who are struggling with depression, anxiety, motherhood, life transitions, and college stress. Felicity is defined as intense happiness which is the ultimate goal of this practice! At times, life throws some hardships which harm our mental health, BUT acknowledging this is the first step. In the current mental health crisis, it is essential that we address issues that are hindering us and preventing us from continuing on our journey of happiness and healing. The ultimate goal in life is to be happy! Regardless of what that looks like for each person individually; everyone can collectively agree that happiness is the key.
I am a strong believer that every one of us has the ability to use coping skills, even in challenging situations. The issue comes in when we don’t know how to utilize them! It is my goal for us to identify these skills and create an invisible toolbox so that you can utilize the appropriate tool at the right time. It is my goal to help you polish the rusty tools that you haven't used in a while and make room for new and improved tools that are just for you. Although life may feel all over the place, having someone to help you “make it make sense” can be beneficial!
I enjoy doing non-profit work, traveling, being outdoors, family, and art. I am an advocate for the voiceless! Also, I am not above using bad puns in therapy and laughing at myself more often than not. I believe that one of the most important things in therapy is a good relationship with your therapist (because why talk to someone you don't like)?
I attended Virginia State University where I obtained my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology in 2013. I obtained a Master’s degree in Professional Counseling from Liberty University and a Master's degree in Psychology from Walden University. Currently, I am a doctoral candidate at Walden University, where I am studying Clinical Psychology. Since 2013 I have worked in the mental health field treating children, teens, and adults with a wide range of diagnoses and life circumstances.
I appreciate the time you have taken to read a little bit about me! Therapy is all about the “ perfect fit” and the relationship between therapist and client. Please feel free to contact me and schedule a 15-minute free consultation to dip your toes into telehealth and meet me!

Hi, my name is Shay!
Acknowledging that you need a little help dealing with your challenges can be difficult. You may be worried about what others think of you or even what you think of yourself. This is a natural feeling. Allow me to meet you where you are in a judgment free space.
A little about me, I am a mom, a huge fan of Beyonce, I love dogs, and I enjoy giving back to my community through volunteer work and supporting black-owned businesses. I received my Bachelor of Psychology in 2015 from Old Dominion University and my Master of Social Work from Virginia Commonwealth University in 2022. I have over 8 years of experience helping adults navigate through challenges related to depression, anxiety, ADHD, and life transitions. My treatment style is a person-centered and strengths-based approach that encourages self-care and self-empowerment. My treatment modality of choice is cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT); however, I often use an array of modalities based on what your needs are. Let’s work together to get you where you want to be!

Hi, my name is Briana G.!
"Sometimes, we struggle to name our thoughts. Sometimes, we struggle to understand our emotions. Sometimes, our mind commands us to believe things that are not true. I'm here to tell you that you have more power and understanding than you believe you do. You just need someone who will help you get there! These feelings of loneliness, sadness, frustration, grief, anger, and confusion don't have to linger longer than they are invited. You are not alone, and you have more strength than you believe!
As a resident in counseling and provisional art therapist, I work with kids, adolescents, and adults. I have unique experience assisting those who struggle with emotional regulation, grief, loss, anger, depression, anxiety, trauma, and other issues related to transition. I am a creative therapist who specializes in Art Therapy to assist with healing and wellness. This integrative approach helps build self-awareness, self-esteem, and a holistic lifestyle.
