You don’t have to pretend you’re okay here.
You shouldn’t have to filter yourself in therapy. Maybe anxiety has become hard to manage. Maybe depression has left you feeling disconnected, unmotivated, or unlike yourself. Maybe trauma or painful life experiences are still affecting your relationships, emotions, or daily choices. Or maybe you’ve been carrying things for so long that you’re not even sure where to start.
I’m Kristopher, a Licensed Professional Counselor, and I work with adolescents, young adults, and adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use concerns, stress, self-esteem issues, and life transitions.
My goal is to create a safe, supportive, judgment-free space where you can be honest about what you’re feeling, better understand what has been weighing on you, and begin moving toward a healthier, more grounded version of yourself.
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 20 years of experience supporting people through life’s challenges.

I'm excited about the opportunity to work with individuals who are on their journey to becoming the best versions of themselves. I understand that this path can present a variety of challenges, such as finding life purpose, navigating men's issues, dealing with trauma (PTSD), experiencing depression, facing career dilemmas, exploring identity concerns, and addressing self-esteem and relationship issues. I'm here to provide support, compassion, and guidance through your concerns.
I’m Charlotte Aeger Ross, PMHNP, a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner providing integrative mental health care for children, adolescents, and adults. My clinical approach combines evidence-based medication management with holistic strategies to address underlying biological, psychological, and lifestyle factors contributing to conditions such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, and trauma-related disorders. I focus on individualized, collaborative treatment plans designed to promote long-term stability and overall well-being.
Ramona Girley, PMHNP-BC, is a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with advanced training and expertise in the assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of a wide range of mental health conditions across the lifespan. She brings a strong clinical foundation in psychiatric evaluation, medication management, and evidence-based psychotherapeutic interventions within outpatient and intensive outpatient (IOP) settings.
Her professional practice focuses on treating mood disorders such as depression and bipolar disorder, anxiety disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and co-occurring substance use concerns. She is experienced in conducting comprehensive psychiatric evaluations, risk assessments, and individualized treatment planning tailored to each client’s needs.
In addition to medication management, Ramona emphasizes a holistic and collaborative approach to care, integrating psychotherapy, psychoeducation, and multidisciplinary coordination to support long-term stabilization and recovery. Her clinical style is structured yet compassionate, with a strong commitment to patient-centered care, measurable outcomes, and improving overall quality of life for her clients.
My commitment to you is simple: I will listen carefully, communicate openly, and act with integrity in every interaction. I’ll take the time to understand your unique goals, challenges, and values, and I’ll tailor my approach to meet your needs rather than offering one-size-fits-all solutions. You can expect transparency from me at every step. I’ll explain not only what I recommend, but why I recommend it, so you always feel informed and empowered to make decisions.

If anxiety won't quiet down, stress keeps piling up, or you're navigating something hard, like postpartum changes, a struggling relationship, or something from your past that hasn't had space to heal, you're in the right place. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Mississippi with experience helping individuals and families move through real challenges. I bring genuine warmth to this work, because I believe healing happens when you feel truly heard.
I focus on helping individuals through grief and loss, anxiety, depression, anger, and physical stress. My passion is helping patients move from a place of despair to optimism.

I welcome clients from all walks of life and every stage of the journey, whether you're new to therapy or returning. Together, we identify what isn't working, build on what is, and create a path toward real, lasting change. My goal is that you leave feeling heard, understood, and equipped to move forward.
My professional background includes experience in psychiatric mental health, telehealth services, patient advocacy, care coordination behavior health counseling, and nursing leadership. Throughout my career, I have worked in a variety of healthcare settings, providing psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and supportive counseling. My leadership experience has also strengthened my ability to coordinate comprehensive, patient-centered care and collaborate effectively with multidisciplinary healthcare teams.

Hi, I'm Christopher. I believe we all have the capacity to live fulfilling lives marked by agency and self-efficacy. My approach is trauma-informed, client-centered, and narrative-based, so our work centers your story, not a diagnosis. If you're ready to feel heard and start writing the next chapter, I'd love to work with you.
You've Been Strong for Everyone Else-Now It's Your Turn
For the past 18 years, I've worked with adults who are carrying more than most people around them know. If you're the one everyone leans on, the high-achiever who looks put-together on the outside while feeling overwhelmed on the inside, or someone who has been strong for so long you've forgotten what it feels like to just exhale, you're in the right place.
As a Black therapist, I bring both clinical training and lived understanding to this work. Whether you're navigating anxiety that won't quiet, grief that hasn't had space, a relationship that's draining you, or a life transition that has left you feeling stuck, you don't have to have it figured out before you begin.
Wherever you're starting from, meaningful support is available, and you deserve to be the one receiving it for a change.

Frequently asked questions


Find the right therapist for you
Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Mississippi
Searching for therapists in Mississippi is easier when you start with the kind of support you want. Across the state, your options may vary between larger areas and more rural communities, so it helps to look for a therapist whose training and listed specialties match your needs. You might want support with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, or life transitions. As you compare therapists, review their bios for details about their approach, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, or family therapy.
Location and schedule matter, especially when comparing therapists across Mississippi. If you live near Jackson, Gulfport, Oxford, or a smaller community, you may want to decide whether in-person sessions, virtual appointments, or both fit your routine. You can also narrow your search by appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new clients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can help you understand how each therapist describes their communication style, session structure, and areas of focus.
The cost of therapy in Mississippi can vary, and using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you search for licensed therapists who are accepting new clients, enter your insurance details, and see an estimated out-of-pocket cost before you book. Nationally, Headway works with over 100 insurance plans, so you can browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
