Rhonda Porter

My name is Rhonda Porter, and I am a Licensed Clinical Marriage and Family Therapist. I hold a Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy and a Bachelor of Science with a concentration in Addiction Studies.

As a therapist, I am committed to providing a safe, nonjudgmental, and supportive space where clients feel heard, respected, and understood. I believe healing begins when individuals feel accepted and affirmed, and I strive to create an environment where you can openly express your thoughts, feelings, and experiences.

I work collaboratively with clients to navigate life’s challenges, including past trauma, family and intimate relationship concerns, and personal growth struggles. My approach is strengths-based, helping clients identify and build upon their personal strengths and resilience while developing effective coping skills.

I utilize evidence-based therapeutic approaches tailored to each client’s unique needs, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Motivational Interviewing (MI). Together, we work toward meaningful change and support you on your journey forward.

My approach to therapy is client-centered, collaborative, and strengths-based. I believe each person brings unique experiences, strengths, and resilience to the therapeutic process. I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental, and affirming space where clients feel supported and empowered to explore their thoughts, emotions, and experiences at their own pace.

I work alongside clients to identify goals, build coping skills, and navigate life’s challenges, including trauma, relationship concerns, and personal growth. Therapy is a partnership, and I value meeting clients where they are while supporting meaningful and sustainable change.

The first therapy session is an opportunity for us to get to know one another and begin building a foundation of trust. During this session, I will take time to understand what brings you to therapy, your goals, and any concerns you may have. You are encouraged to share at a pace that feels comfortable for you.

We will review important background information, discuss confidentiality, and talk about what therapy may look like moving forward. This session is also a time for you to ask questions and determine if my approach feels like a good fit for your needs.

My goal is to provide a safe, nonjudgmental, and supportive environment where you feel heard and respected. There is no pressure to have everything figured out—therapy is a process, and the first session is simply the beginning of your journey toward growth and healing.
