Wholehearted Counseling
There is nothing too embarrassing, too messy, too overwhelming, or too hard to bring to counseling. I work with adults who are carrying a lot, whether that's managing the stress of school or work, navigating relationships, facing grief or disappointment, questioning faith, or trying to make sense of a season of life that feels different than expected. Sometimes we lose sight of who we are beneath the expectations, responsibilities, and pressure to have everything figured out. I offer a warm, supportive space where we'll explore your experiences together, better understand what you're carrying, and move toward healing, growth, and meaningful change. I help adults navigating anxiety, life transitions, relationship challenges, grief, and questions of identity, faith, or purpose. Because many of life's greatest joys and deepest pain happen within our relationships—with others and with ourselves—I believe difficult experiences can become opportunities for greater self-understanding, healing, and lasting change. I believe every part of your story deserves to be met with compassion, curiosity, and care. Beginning counseling isn't always easy, especially if you're used to carrying things on your own. Together, we'll begin asking the questions that help you better understand yourself and move toward a life that feels more connected to who you are.

I help autistic, ADHD, and LGBTQ+ adults stop running on empty. If you’re burned out, overwhelmed, or exhausted from masking and perfectionism, you’re not broken — your nervous system is just trying to keep up with a world that wasn’t built for you. Many of my clients are exhausted in ways rest doesn’t fix — high-functioning on the outside, depleted on the inside, and unsure how to rebuild sustainably. Clients often say: I’m functioning, but it costs me everything. I don’t know how to rest without feeling like I’m failing. I’m tired of being ‘high-functioning.’ I know there’s nothing wrong with being queer, but I still feel ashamed. I help autistic, ADHD, and LGBTQ+ adults stop running on empty.

I blend somatic tools, parts work (IFS-informed), and ACT to support regulation, rebuild capacity, and reconnect with what matters most. My work is neurodivergent-affirming, queer-affirming, trauma-informed, and paced for real-life recovery — not productivity hacks. I aim to support you on your journey toward inner peace and self acceptance. Whether you’re struggling with autistic or ADHD burnout, chronic overwhelm, masking, perfectionism, or queer/LGBTQ+ shame, this is a place to pause, exhale, and start rebuilding on your terms. You don’t need to be “ready” or have the words yet — just curiosity, honesty, and a willingness to start where you are.

Terri Ray
Hello, Before you read my introduction, I want to clarify that I use a flexible fee schedule based on your affordability. I don't strictly follow the numbers that you find in my fees. (I simply needed to complete all the boxes to activate my profile.) My schedule shows a block of time that I may be available for sessions, but you must discuss session times with me before scheduling. Thank you! I worked previously in a university counseling center with students who: were adjusting to living away from home for the first time and finding their place; were coping with roommate difficulties; were athletes with sports injuries; needed improved time management and organization skills; and so much more. The excitement of "going away to college" can quickly turn into disillusionment when reality sets in. I found that offering a safe outlet for students to express concerns as they negotiate this important life transition is a treasured place for me to be. I would love to work with you. Please email me to get started.

What do you do when what everyone calls "the best years of your life' just aren't?? The transition from home to college is an exciting one, but one that brings with it many new experiences...leaving home (sometimes for the first time), living more independently, meeting a whole world of new people, and learning more about yourself...your strengths and weaknesses. As a college student you often face adversities such as a lack of stability, increased social and pressures, and a strong push towards academic hyper-achievement. Together with familial and social (media) pressure college students often experience changes in sleep, eating and energy patterns, irritability, a loss of interest in activities previously enjoyed, and substance abuse. Knowing when you need support, and taking the initiative to actually get that help is an important first step in figuring things out. Whether you are dealing with anxiety, depression, homesickness, finding your people or just trying to figure yourself out I hope that I can help.
