About Mindful Healing Counseling
Inclusive, affirming and exceptional mental health care.
Healing Starts Here—A Safe, Inclusive Space Just for You
Welcome to Mindful Healing Counseling, where your story matters.
We know how hard it can be to ask for help. Maybe life feels overwhelming, past wounds still linger, or you're struggling to find your place in the world. Whatever you're carrying, you don’t have to do it alone.
Our mission is simple: to provide a supportive, affirming space where you can be yourself and heal.
An Inclusive, Affirming Approach to Therapy
At Mindful Healing Counseling, we celebrate all identities, backgrounds, and experiences. Founded by a Black woman, our practice is deeply committed to breaking the stigma around mental health and creating a culture of care that truly sees you.
We know therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all. That’s why we meet you where you are—helping you process life’s challenges, build healthier relationships, and rediscover your strength.
Our Story
The Right Therapist Makes All the Difference
Finding the right therapist can feel overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be. Our team is here to help you feel comfortable, heard, and truly supported.
Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship struggles, or major life changes, we’re here to walk with you every step of the way. We use evidence-based approaches like cognitive-behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, mindfulness, and relational therapy—all personalized to your unique needs.
We accept Blue Cross Blue Shield PPO and Aetna insurance for online therapy.

We’re in-network with BCBS PPO, Blue Choice PPO, and Aetna PPO and also accept out-of-network benefits.
