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.

Shakirah Forde, CSW
I’m a licensed therapist with over 13 years of experience, and my passion is helping people reconnect with themselves in ways that feel authentic and purposeful. I believe many of us get caught up in what we “should” be doing and lose touch with who we truly are. In our work together, I create a safe, compassionate space where you can explore your inner world, release old patterns, and realign with what matters most to you. My approach blends practical tools with deep reflection, so you can find clarity, cultivate peace, and move forward with a stronger sense of self and direction.

Kimberly Chance, LMFT
As the therapist, my role is to provide support and facilitate greater awareness and thereby foster a more enriching experience. I believe a person enters therapy when their life's circumstances outweigh their ability to cope and the right support can allow them to feel more equipped to manage the challenges they may face. I see therapy as a journey in which a person can explore more about themselves and process their experiences; with the ultimate destination being more than a specific outcome but all the revelations that are gained along the way. I look forward to joining the various journeys of life.

Welcome and thank you for taking that first step. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. My 10+ years of experience in crisis intervention, hospice care, and mental health have given me an extraordinary appreciation for life. Sometimes we struggle with BIG things, like suicidal thoughts or uncontrolled anxiety, while other times we are just trying to "get through". Regardless of where you are I would love the opportunity to speak to you. I am a Christian, and I respect how important our faith is to our well-being; however, I am happy to work with any and all.
