If you feel overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure how to move forward, you’re not alone.

’m a bilingual (Spanish-English) therapist with over 20 years of experience helping adults navigate anxiety, emotional challenges, and relationship stress. I also work with teens and children facing behavioral, academic, and emotional concerns.

I hold Master’s degrees in Social Work from NYU and in Clinical Psychology from the Psychiatric Hospital of Caracas. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and practical—helping you gain clarity, build self-worth, and create healthier, more secure connections.

I believe meaningful change begins with connection. Let’s start there.

Hello, and welcome! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) dedicated to helping individuals navigate life's challenges with compassion, understanding, and evidence-based care. My practice focuses on supporting young and middle-aged adults experiencing depression, trauma, anxiety, ADHD symptoms, and life transitions, as well as working mothers and new moms balancing the demands of family, career, and personal well-being.

Hi, my name is Kathryn Powell (LCSW) and I am a licensed therapist skilled in empowering clients experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, navigating life transitions, self-esteem and body image concerns. I aim to provide a supportive and collaborative space where you can share openly and discuss the challenges you are facing. We will work together to explore your concerns and goals, while I offer guidance and evidenced-based skills training to help you create positive change.

I began working in the field of Mental Health in 2004, serving the female population. After three years, I decided to make this a career choice and studied at Springfield College to earn a master’s degree as a Mental Health Counselor. The first paid position I accepted was offered by a non-profit in Brandon, FL, where I served as a Group Facilitator and Counselor to adult and adolescent populations. In this position, I discovered my passion for counseling and helping others grow.

I’ve spent years sitting with people at their lowest—through addiction, crisis, and the kind of pain that can make life feel unmanageable. That work taught me something I bring into every session now: nobody is “too much,” and no story is too messy. These days, I’m more focused on slower, steadier work. Whether you’re worn down by depression, gripping through stress, or finally ready to be honest about drinking or using, I’ll meet you where you are with steadiness, honesty, and compassion. You don’t need the right words yet; we’ll figure it out together.

I’m Ashley Rhodes-Courter, LCSW-S, a trauma specialist, clinical supervisor, and founder of Sustainable Family Services with nearly 20 years of professional and lived experience supporting individuals and families impacted by trauma, attachment wounds, foster care and adoption, relationship challenges, burnout, and major life transitions.

I hold a Master’s Degree in Social Work from the University of Southern California and advanced credentials in trauma and TeleMental Health, including Board Certified TeleMental Health (BC-TMH), Certified Clinical Trauma Professional Level II (CCTP-II), Certified Child and Adolescent Trauma Professional (CATP), and Certified Family Trauma Professional (CFTP).

Outside of clinical practice, I am a New York Times and International bestselling author of Three Little Words and Three More Words and an award-winning keynote speaker and child welfare advocate. My work has taken me around the world speaking about trauma, resilience, child welfare, and strengthening families.

I am an experienced and caring therapist with Ph.D. and LCSW certification. I view therapy as a partnership between client and therapist. I work with individuals with anxiety, depression, trauma, low self-esteem, and difficulties with interpersonal relationships. Additionally, I have broad expertise in emotionally focused couples therapy, sex therapy and family therapy. I have helped clients from many different cultural backgrounds.

I support mutual respect and open communication in therapy. I begin by listening and understanding your situation. Together we work on a personalized treatment plan shaped to reach your goals.

I've spent the last 14 years walking alongside people through some of the tender, complicated seasons of life, like navigating depression and anxiety, managing overwhelming stress, working through relationship struggles, or figuring out career transitions. I care deeply about the people I work with, and I bring warmth, honesty, and a genuine curiosity about who you are to every session. When I'm not in the therapy room, you'll usually find me outside gardening or getting my steps in around the neighborhood.
