DeAnna Jackson, LPCA
I help clients feel safe enough to explore the parts of themselves they’ve had to hide, numb, or overprotect. Whether you’re navigating addiction, trauma, anxiety, depression, identity concerns, or relationship struggles, I provide a space where you don’t have to perform or hold it all together. Together, we’ll work to understand patterns that no longer serve you, build healthier coping strategies, and strengthen your sense of self. My goal is not just symptom relief, but helping you feel more grounded, confident, and empowered in your daily life.

Julie Smith, LPCMHSP
I believe healing begins when you feel truly seen, heard, and understood. As a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor, I provide a safe, compassionate space where you can lay down the weight you've been carrying. Life can leave us feeling overwhelmed, anxious, emotionally exhausted, or disconnected from who we are. You don't have to navigate those feelings alone. I offer Christ-centered counseling that integrates biblical truth with evidence-based therapeutic approaches, including EMDR. There is no "one-size-fits-all" approach to healing.

Life can be difficult at times. It is nice to have someone you can confide in about life struggles you are experiencing. Pain and adversity are unfortunately a part of the human experience. There are many reasons we may seek therapy but regardless of your reason, we could all benefit from a little extra support in life, especially when times are rough. I am dedicated to helping, and enjoy working with, individuals and families. I have been an LCSW for 15 years. Feel free to reach out and ask any questions you might have. I look forward to talking to you.
