Hi! My name is Jenn Walker, LPC-S/C, CCTP, (she/her) and I am a Telehealth therapist in the states of NC, SC, and FL. I am extremely open minded and have extensive training and experience in trauma, anxiety, and in working with persons with C-PTSD.

Hi, I’m Tomeker, a nationally certified counselor and a licensed professional counselor with a natural desire to help and support those I work with. I function from the person centered approach, acknowledging the patients ability to problem solve. I have been trained in EMDR and evidenced based practices to treat PTSD, anxiety, and depression.

You deserve a therapist who knows the terrain. I’ve been where you are. I have experienced mental health from every angle—as someone who has done the deep personal work, as someone who has navigated the pain of losing loved ones to suicide, and now as a therapist. When I suggest a tool or a shift in perspective, it’s because I practice what I preach. I know the freedom that comes from setting boundaries and building a life you truly love, and I want that same transformation for you.

A perspective shaped by the world: Growing up with over 30 exchange students from around the globe taught me early on that everyone’s "normal" looks different. This curiosity follows me outside the office, too. This love for travel and culture keeps my mind open and my spirit curious—traits I bring into every session we share.

Hi, I’m Maddie! I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a specialization in trauma. I have spent most of my professional time working with children and adolescents so I know the vast childhood experiences anyone coming into therapy may bring.

I find it an immense privilege to be a trauma therapist and work with my clients on the hardest topics they may have experienced. I want you to find safety in our relationship to explore what has happened to you and who you want to become from that experience. I am trained in EMDR, an evidence -based treatment for trauma and love bringing in creative ways for my clients to experience the healing that can come through EMDR. I want you to feel that each hour we bring is your own and your goals for therapy are always at the forefront of my mind and work.

When I am not working as a therapist, I enjoy a variety of creative activities including cooking, baking, and crochet. I also love spending time outdoors or swimming to recharge and reset myself for my next day of therapy.

I am a Doctor of Nursing Practice and a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, passionate about helping people find balance, healing, and peace of mind. I understand that reaching out for help can be a difficult decision, and my goal is to create a space where you feel genuinely heard, supported, and understood. I have personal and professional experience treating substance abuse, depression, and grief, and my passion is to help those who struggle.

Hi! I am D'Arion, I’m a therapist and the founder of Sincerely, your brain., LLC. My approach is rooted in warmth, authenticity, and creating a safe space where clients can truly be themselves.

I specialize in working with children through play therapy, supporting them in expressing emotions, building coping skills, and navigating life’s challenges in developmentally appropriate ways. In addition, I have a deep passion for supporting young women and college students as they transition into adulthood—navigating identity, independence, and all of the changes that come with this stage of life.

Right now, I’m also pursuing my doctorate in Counselor Education and Supervision, which keeps me closely connected to both current research and the training of future counselors.

My specific areas of focus include:

• Anxiety and stress management
• Life transitions (student transitions, adulthood, career shifts)
• Women’s mental health
• Supporting Black women, Black teens, and communities of color with culturally responsive care

At the heart of my work is the belief that therapy should feel collaborative, empowering, and tailored to each person’s story. Whether we’re building play-based strategies for a child, or talking through the complex realities of being a Black woman navigating today’s world, I’m here to listen, support, and grow alongside you.
