My name is Laine Jones. I often work with those struggling through relationship issues as well as depression and anxiety. I also have experience working with body image issues and eating disorders.I work to provide a safe space for clients to talk through issues and stressors they are facing and consider it a privilege to walk alongside someone as they navigate the difficulties that life often brings. I am a part of The Christian Counseling Center and so I approach counseling from a biblical perspective and can include this in sessions if it is so desired.

Being anxious about which direction you should take can be complicated and secluding. Difficulties in life can lead to feelings of uncertainty about your abilities and a loss of connection to who you are. Therapy can be an excellent tool to navigate these feelings in a safe and supportive environment. I believe the client holds the knowledge within of the best path forward and I feel honored to work in collaboration with clients to reconnect with themselves or find ways to let their true identity shine. Whether you're looking for new skills, need to process experiences, or need an ally in your journey, I am here for you in support. My specialities lie in anxiety and depressive disorders, processing trauma and life difficulties, LGBTQIA+ issues relating to identity and acceptance, as well as ADHD skill building and emotional identification/regulation. As someone who has struggled at times with my own issues of trauma, anxiety, depression, and identify, I can relate with the client on these issues and strive to create a collaborative, safe environment for processing. I invite potential clients to send me an email with any questions for me or call the number listed to set up an initial appointment. I currently offer $130 per self-pay session with sliding scale for clients depending on income. I can provide a super bill for reimbursement with insurance and will be panelled with most private insurance providers in the near future.

Melvinik Simmons was born and raised in Brownsville Brooklyn, New York. Growing up in a single parent household in the projects of Brooklyn was challenging. Where she comes from truly makes her the person she is today. "I saw everything that you can imagine, drugs, violence, even witnessing my childhood friend jump off a building". She knew at a young age people were "broken and felt helpless". Melvinik’s passion and mission is to inspire people and work with them to achieve their goals. "I am not only a therapist, but I care a great deal about my clients who I work with". "I am you and you are me" My mission is to help heal broken hearts. "I have been through a lot of what you may be going through, and I am here to tell you that healing is possible". Melvinik has been in the helping profession for over 20 years. She specializes in depression, grief/loss, anxiety and PTSD. She was a social worker for several foster care agencies, a supervisor for a crisis unit, a counselor for YMCA, and a therapist in the behavioral health department for several years at Richmond University Medical Center (N.Y) and St Luke University Health Network (P.A.). She has been in private practice (Talk Trust Heal LLC) for 4 years providing virtual therapy to clients in N.Y. P.A. and S.C. where she currently resides. She has an integrative approach combined with different styles, modalities, and methods to promote wellness. "I don't have a "one size fit's all approach" I immediately like to start where my clients are and offer a non-judgmental platform where they are able to talk in a safe environment. She is dedicated and committed to her clients and their mental health. Her motto is "Trust the therapeutic process, talk about the presenting issues and heal".

It's time to start a new journey, one you will not have to go on alone. Let's collaborate to adopt new skills to reduce challenging feelings, develop skills to better connect with the people in your life, and reconnect with the greatest aspects of who you are.
I view counseling as a collaborative effort between client and counselor, with my role being predominantly to provide a safe space for introspection, discovery, and growth, while offering targeted interventions to assist and support clients through the process. I see value in approaches that empower clients to see the abilities they already possess, such as person-centered therapy and narrative therapy, and seek to meet every client where they are with a diverse toolkit of theoretical approaches to ensure each client is supported in the best way possible for them.
Do you ever feel stressed, overwhelmed, or just depressed with no rhyme or reason? Trust me, it's normal! Welcome to adulthood! As someone who was once in your shoes and is still there at times, I completely understand. It's tough trying to navigate being an adult while work on yourself, sustaining a social life, and everything else in between. I'm a person-centered therapist whose focus is to meet you where you are, but also help you get to a better space mentally and emotionally. I believe that where you are and what you're going through now is not where you will be forever. My work with my clients usually consists of, but is not limited to, providing tools and skills to help better manage and cope with how you're feeling to help improve your functioning on a daily. My goal, as your therapist, is to assist you with getting to a better space and for you to have the opportunity to say to yourself, "wow, look at the progress I made." I challenge you to give therapy a try, you might like it!

Do you feel alone, invisible, and unimportant, like the person you love is rarely there for you emotionally: so you pursue your partner and even have occasional outbursts just to try to get through to them? Do you feel overwhelmed, like no matter what you do it is never good enough to please the person you love: so you defend yourself, shut down, or turn away in your relationship? You feel frustrated and stuck. You are exhausted from feeling misunderstood, fighting over the same issues over and over again. You feel depressed and anxious, and the problems in your relationship seem to make it worse. You have a hard time trusting your partner and how you both address it seems to make it worse. As an expert relationship counselor, I help you thrive in connection. My goal is to help you not just get along, but to enjoy being together. I come alongside you in this journey. I help you figure out where you were at, where you are now, and where you want to go with your relational issues. You are ultimately in the driver’s seat and I am your guide to help you get there, while helping you notice important things along the way. My approach is empathic and gentle, yet directive. In our sessions, I create space for you to just be. I help you identify, explore, and own what you are experiencing. Your emotions are validated. An emotionally safe environment is established for you to connect with your emotions and those of the person you care about.
