Jean Kimbrel
• I am an open-minded, understanding, compassionate counselor whose passion is collaborating with individuals who are taking steps to improve their mental health. Without judgement I listen to the individual and then teach them the skills they need to overcome life challenges. Every individual is unique and learns differently, so I approach every person with the mindset that not every therapy technique works the same for everyone. • I have experience collaborating with individuals who are struggling with ADHD-Adjustment Disorder-Depression- Anxiety-PTSD-Domestic Violence- and Anger Management. • My approach can include cognitive-behavioral therapy, solution focused therapy, or rational-emotive therapy; however, I identify with an eclectic style which enables me to use what works for that person at that moment. • My life experiences help me empathize with my clients and to understand them better. I also have military ties as a child and currently as an adult. I understand the struggles they face, such as the struggles with adjustment that comes with repeated deployment and relocating. • I am a warm and interactive counselor who believes in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. • I provide genuine Christian Faith Based Therapy through my own faith which can be a great source of strength when we are facing challenges in our lives. Faith Base Therapy is an option for you but is not a necessity for us to work together.

Dr. Sonya Medina
I am a clinical psychologist with over 23 years of clinical experience. I have provided therapy in juvenile justice, residential treatment and currently Veterans. I have experience treating mood disorders, anxiety disorders, trauma, women’s issues and substance abuse. I primarily approach therapy from a cognitive behavioral perspective. I seek to help clients understand how unhelpful thinking patterns prompt negative emotions and keep a person stuck and unrecovered. I see therapy as an opportunity to help my client identify the roots of unhelpful thinking patterns, identify opportunities for change and engage in the work of modifying behaviors that often lead to distress. The best quality of life for my client is the overarching treatment goal. I see the therapeutic process as a safe and supportive environment in which negative cycles may be broken. I work hard to establish a therapeutic relationship through compassion and genuine feedback. Therapy is a collaborative endeavor and I appreciate the honor of walking this journey with those in pain. I love what I do!

Glenna Rodgers
As a mental health therapist, licensed in Arkansas, Mississippi, New Jersey, and Virginia, with over 26 years experience, I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns, such as anxiety, depression, poor focus, and self esteem. My therapy style is caring and encouraging. I provide support, as you gain insight, and help you develop healthier coping skills. In our therapy sessions, you are accepted where you are, and encouraged to grow. I use multiple approaches to help my clients cope and overcome their difficulties. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches individuals how to manage intense emotions, cope more effectively with challenging situations, and improve relationships. Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) helps a person identify negative thoughts, make positive changes, and improve mood, actions, and outcome. Person-Centered Therapy provides a caring, non-judgemental, and empathic setting, allowing clients to take more of a lead, as they discover their own solutions. Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavior Therapy (TF-CBT) prepares individuals to process and manage emotional distress, and other trauma related symptoms, resulting from traumatic experiences, and help improve relationships, occupational functioning, and interest in former activities.
