Patricia Washington, APC
I have been a board-certified counselor (NBCC) since 2005 with undergraduate and graduate degrees (B.S. '04, M.Ed., '05) from Vanderbilt University. I've provided mental health services in clinical, community, and school settings for children, adolescents, adults, and couples. Additionally, I have been an active member of the recovery community for over 14 years and provide addiction assessment and support in recovery. I believe there is power in bringing the darkness to light, and while we may not always be able to change our circumstances, understanding them better might promote coping and healing.

Sulonda Smith, LPC
Imagine waking up feeling calm, happier, and more confident because you've mastered coping skills that decrease anxiety, anger, frustration, and fear! For almost 30 years, in a nonjudgmental and nurturing way, I've helped people live happier lives. Pain has been normalized, and we get locked into toxic cycles, then suffer. Learning to love and accept yourself through tough experiences can seem hard to do, but once you learn to change how you think and feel, the situation will change too. I use humor and care as a healing tool. I've helped hundreds of men & women, including from racially diverse backgrounds.

Dr. D'Ann Downey, Psychologist
I have been a practicing psychotherapist for over 40 years, 20 of that as a licensed clinical social worker and 20+ as a clinical psychologist. The combination of those two degrees has been invaluable for me. With my social work background I learned much about family systems theory. With my doctorate in psychology I obtained more knowledge in depth of personality development. I think in terms of the early developmental years and how they impact who we are and our life choices. We may not be able to change others but we can change ourselves and therefore feel happier and more fulfilled.

Dr. Rachelle Smith, LPC
Hello! My name is Dr. Rachelle D. Smith. I specialize in helping women who are mothers and wives recover from relationship trauma and abuse. I help them remember who they are and walk in their God-given power and authority. Healing from toxic relationships is difficult, yet it is possible. And if you're willing, I believe we can do this together. Our journey will be uncomfortable at times, but day-by-day you will see more of who you were created to be and less of who "they" tried to force you to be. You may not know it, but you have already won! I look forward to walking with you on your healing journey.
