  • Laytrayal Simmons online counseling and therapist

    Laytrayal Simmons

    My practice focuses on adolescents and adults of all ages. I conceptualize issues from a cognitive-behavioral approach, meaning that I will explore together with you the thoughts and feelings related to your behavior patterns and examine the impact of any biological, psychological, and social factors. We will work together to make manageable changes so that you can feel better and move forward to reach your goals. Therapy often leads to better relationships, solutions to problems, and reduction in anxiety and distress. For more details check out my website at reignitepsych.com. Dr. Simmons is a licensed professional counselor with over 15 years of experience in providing therapy to individuals and families. She earned her Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology in 2012 from Howard University. She previously earned her Master's Degree in 2002 from Georgia State University in Professional Counseling.

  • Amanda Michelle Whitacre online counseling and therapist

    Amanda Michelle Whitacre

    Counseling and Dance/Movement Therapy: Breaking through barriers *Alleviating uncomfortable symptoms and overcoming vulnerabilities is an important tenet in my work. I emphasize the need to not only recognize what various emotions feel like in the body but also bring attention to the thoughts and beliefs that influence your emotions. *A lack of awareness of the mind-body connection impedes conscious navigation through life. I work with you to see the link between negative thoughts and mood, to notice how your thoughts and mood influence being and acting in your body. I also work with the reverse in gently challenging you to recognize how tension in the body contributes to ongoing emotional distress. I guide you in working with your body as a key to unlock your attention toward thoughts and images that foster mastery of tension/release. * I encourage an awareness of the “felt sense”. This empowers you to assert control over negative emotions and develop a more aware posture toward your emotional states of being. Growth happens in time with you being the determining agent of your personal insights.

  • Christi Venable online counseling and therapist

    Christi Venable

    As a solution-focused therapist, my goal is to help you uncover your true potential and lead a life that is worth celebrating. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life. By applying complementary therapy approaches and techniques, we will unearth long-standing behavior patterns or negative perceptions that may be holding you back from experiencing a more fulfilling and meaningful life. If you're looking for extra support and guidance through a challenging situation or you're just ready to move in a new direction in your life, I look forward to working with you to achieve your goals.
