About Mindful Healing Counseling
Inclusive, affirming and exceptional mental health care.
A Safe, Inclusive Space for Your Healing Journey
Welcome to Mindful Healing Counseling! We’re all about celebrating and embracing every person—no matter your identity, background, or body.
Our mission is to provide a safe, supportive space where you can truly be yourself and make meaningful, lasting changes in your life.
We firmly believe there’s always room for growth and healing, and we’re here to walk with you through it all.
As a practice founded by a Black woman, we’re deeply committed to creating an inclusive environment that affirms everyone. We’re on a mission to break down the stigma around mental health and build a culture that focuses on your holistic well-being—where you feel seen, heard, and valued just as you are.
We know reaching out for help can be a big step, and we honor the bravery it takes. We’re here for you, offering the support, tools, and resources you need to take control of your well-being and truly thrive.
Our Story
Supportive Therapy: Our Focus is You
We know that your needs and your story are unique, which is why your therapy should be too. Finding the right therapist is crucial, and we’re here to help you feel comfortable and supported. The relationship between you and your therapist is key to making lasting change, and we want to ensure that you find the perfect fit for your journey.
Whether you're dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, or major life changes, we’re here to help. Maybe you're looking to set healthier boundaries, heal relationships—whether with others or yourself—or find ways to cope with life’s challenges.
Whatever you’re facing, we’ve got your back.
Our caring and experienced team is here to walk with you every step of the way. We take an integrative approach to therapy, blending techniques like cognitive-behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, mindfulness, relational therapies, and strengths-based practices—all customized to meet your unique needs.
We accept Blue Cross Blue Shield PPO and Aetna insurance for online therapy.
