Hi, I’m Suzanne. I approach this work with intention and respect. When you sit across from me—even virtually—you have my full attention. My style is direct, honest, and grounded. I won’t overreact, and I won’t minimize your experience. I believe in your capacity to grow, and at times I will challenge you—with care and purpose—to help you move forward.

You can expect steadiness, discretion, and a focus on meaningful change, not just endless processing. Therapy is an investment of your time, energy, and trust, and I take that seriously. My goal is to support you in making real, lasting progress with clarity and confidence.

As an artist and art therapist, I believe that creativity comes in many forms. It is my goal to help every individual create a peaceful home environment be it through art or therapy. Being a visual artist means being able to make simple shapes and lines and help them evolve into another form. Art therapy uses lines, shapes and colors to help one heal. How an individual choses to manipulate those various tools determines the final outcome.

Hello,

I'm Nick, and I'm delighted to extend a warm welcome to you. I'm committed to helping you find a path to better emotional well-being and personal growth.

Life can throw its curveballs, and it's natural to feel a bit lost at times. As a licensed therapist, my goal is to provide you with a safe space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings. I believe in the potential for positive change that exists within all of us.

I don't have a physical office space at this time. I can see clients virtually, or I can come to your home or office.

Please reach out to me at (319) 481-8505 or [email protected] for any questions!

I’m a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) who believes healing happens when people feel seen, safe, and supported without judgment. My work is rooted in authenticity, compassion, accountability, and cultural awareness. As a Black woman, mother, caregiver, and mental health professional, I understand firsthand how life’s responsibilities, transitions, grief, trauma, relationships, and everyday stress can impact emotional wellness.

I strive to create a space where clients do not have to “hold it all together.” Whether you are navigating anxiety, burnout, depression, life transitions, motherhood, self-esteem challenges, relationship concerns, or generational patterns, my goal is to help you reconnect with yourself while building practical tools for lasting growth.

Clients often describe me as warm, relatable, direct when needed, and easy to talk to. I value creating a therapeutic relationship that feels collaborative, empowering, and real.

Hi, I’m Brittany — a licensed therapist, maternal wellness advocate, and founder of B.Intentional Wellness and The Center for Intentional Maternal Wellness. I’m passionate about supporting women through life’s transitions, from managing anxiety and perfectionism to navigating identity shifts in motherhood and beyond. I bring both expertise and heart to my work, and I’m committed to helping clients reclaim their peace, power, and purpose. Outside the therapy room, I’m a mom, a lover of cozy evenings, intentional self-care, long walks, and good music. I believe healing can be warm, real, and even a little fun.
