About
As someone who grew up in the field of mental health, I have come to appreciate the therapeutic value of allowing others to express themselves without reservation as well as affording them the respect and dignity they duly deserve.
My name is Elliott Brown, and I am a licensed professional counselor with over 24 years of experience. I enjoy working with adults and children who have a host of issues to unpack: anxiety, depression, trauma, divorce, relationship troubles, work headaches, grieving, and getting older, to name a few. When explaining the process of therapy to clients, I often use the "puzzle analogy": a) you dump the pieces out on the table, b) I help you look for the edges and other patterns, and c) you develop a clearer picture about how the rest of the puzzle needs to be solved.
My approach aims to provide you with a sense of relief in expressing often unpleasant thoughts and feelings, while also helping you recognize the themes embedded within these expressions. In doing so, you may develop a greater awareness of the world around you and, as a consequence, become more resilient in the face of adversity.
Please let me know how I can be of help to you. Life's problems aren't something we have to tackle alone. Therapy doesn't have to look a certain way; sessions can be a time to unwind and talk about whatever you see fit. Above all, I hope that you will leave therapy a more insightful and happier person.

Being a person that has experienced personal struggles, I understand the ability that we have as individuals to learn the right tools to overcome any circumstance, therefore giving way to the ability to lead effective, fulfilling lives.
I'm Leslie Cain, a Licensed Professional Counselor with over twenty years of experience working with people of all ages experiencing life-altering challenges including grief, anxiety, depression, difficult relationships, substance abuse, and poor coping skills. I've found that the trusting relationship between therapist and client helps us uncover unhealthy patterns and reframe our thoughts toward healing. This process isn't always comfortable—our minds resist retraining. True healing comes when we face hard truths about ourselves. With understanding of your goals and commitment, we can create meaningful change.
In my practice, I use several techniques—Person-Centered and Solution-Focused—but I've found Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) most useful. It treats depression, anxiety, substance abuse, relationship problems, and eating disorders by addressing faulty thinking patterns and learned behaviors.
I know that whatever challenges you're facing can feel heavy, but it takes courage and you don't have to carry it alone. I'm here to help you sort through obstacles and move forward together toward joy and peace. You've got this, and I've got you. I can be the flashlight to shine light on your challenges. Schedule your session today!

For over 25 years, I have had the privilege of walking alongside adults as they navigate the most challenging chapters of their lives, with my approach deeply rooted in the belief that no one is defined by their diagnosis.
My name is Mary Harbin, and I am a licensed clinical social worker in the states of Mississippi and Alabama. I work with adults (18+) who are navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and mood instability issues.
I specialize in CBT, EMDR, DBT, crisis intervention, trauma, and grief therapy techniques. My approach is collaborative and client-centered, blending evidence-based methods with a warm, nonjudgmental space to help you build skills, regain balance, and move toward your goals.
My goal is to provide a space where you feel genuinely seen and energized. You have been resilient for so long on your own; let’s shift the focus from simply ‘getting by’ to creating a life that feels hopeful and truly yours. I’d love to hear your story.
You deserve dedicated time with a mental health professional — it can be life-changing.

LGBTQIA+ counseling is a type of queer affirmative counseling dedicated to assisting individuals and couples in navigating the intricate intersections of their sexual orientation, gender identity, and mental health, with a primary goal of fostering well-being, self-acceptance, and affirming a client’s life experiences as a queer individual.
