I’m Charlotte Aeger Ross, PMHNP, a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner providing integrative mental health care for children, adolescents, and adults.

Hi, my name is Karen Begley, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Mississippi. I am skilled with working with both adolescents and adults using a client-centered approach.

I am a licensed therapist with a Doctorate in Professional Counseling from Mississippi College and nearly 15 years of experience supporting individuals, families, children, and adolescents in both individual and group therapy settings. Over the course of my career, I have had the privilege of sitting with people through some of their most difficult and transformative moments, and I bring empathy, patience, and genuine care to every session I show up for.

My clinical experience spans a broad range of presenting concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, and behavioral health issues. I have worked with clients across a wide variety of ages, backgrounds, and life circumstances, and that breadth of experience has shaped me into a flexible, responsive clinician who understands that no two people are alike. I do not arrive with a one-size-fits-all plan. I arrive ready to listen, to understand, and to meet each person exactly where they are.

While I welcome clients navigating all kinds of challenges, two populations are especially close to my heart. The first is children and adolescents who are struggling with behavioral problems. I understand how exhausting and frightening it can feel for a young person and their family when things seem out of control, and I find deep meaning in helping young people and the adults who love them find steadier ground. The second is women who have experienced any type of trauma and are working through its lasting effects. Trauma reshapes the way a person sees themselves and the world around them, and I am deeply committed to helping women reclaim their strength, their voice, and their hope for the future.

I believe healing is possible for everyone, and I consider it an honor to be trusted as part of that journey.

Hi, I’m really glad you’re here. If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, stuck in stress, or unsure about your next steps, you’re not alone. Many people reach a point where they want things to feel different but aren’t quite sure how to get there. You might feel mentally exhausted, disconnected, or like you’re carrying more than you can manage on your own. I’m a licensed therapist in Mississippi and Wisconsin with over 11 years of experience supporting adults through life’s challenges. I work with individuals who are ready to feel more grounded, clear, and in control, even if they’re not sure where to begin.

My name is Michael Strazi, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Mississippi. I have 19 years of professional experience as a licensed counselor, with almost 30 years overall working in behavioral health. I work with a wide variety of clients and issues, with particular experience in anxiety and mood disorders, including PTSD and personal relationship issues.

Clients should know that I provide a supportive, non-judgmental space while also being direct and goal-oriented. I understand that many individuals come to therapy during difficult or uncertain times, and my role is to help you gain clarity, stability, and direction.

I have extensive experience working with individuals managing complex life stressors, including legal involvement, trauma, and mental health challenges. I also have a strong background in working with clients who may need additional structure, support, or guidance in navigating systems and life transitions.

My approach is collaborative—I meet you where you are while also helping you move forward with practical tools and strategies. I value honesty, consistency, and building a therapeutic relationship that feels both safe and productive.
