Began my career as a case manager, working with children and young adults experiencing challenges managing their emotions. Working with a Bachelor's degree in Psychology, I then completed my Masters in Counseling degree, withan emphasis on Marriage, Family and Child therapy. My experience assisting in Couples counseling sessions has encouraged me to focus on the "Union's" and the "Individual's" needs of the relationship. Providing stress management skills for phase of life transition for the younger and older population has been my pleasure.

Stepping into therapy is a profound commitment to yourself, and I am here to ensure you have a supportive, empathetic partner for that journey. I am Fayedra Mumme, a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor dedicated to helping individuals navigate the weight of sadness, worry, and critical self-talk. I specialize in supporting adults through trauma, grief, and significant life transitions, providing a space where your experiences are truly seen and understood. I feel privileged to help my clients achieve their goals and improve their lives by fostering a relationship rooted in transparency, honesty, and the vulnerability necessary for true healing.

I believe that the therapeutic relationship is the most important element of our work together. I make a dedicated effort to see your world through your eyes, ensuring that you feel respected and validated regardless of the challenges you face. Whether you are managing long-standing anxiety or navigating a recent loss, I want my clients to feel safe and empowered during our time together. When I am not working with clients, I focus on maintaining my own emotional well-being and balance, which allows me to remain a grounded and present advocate for your growth.

I have over 25 years of experience in the mental health field. Originally from Brazil, I worked as a social worker for 15 years before relocating to the United States to pursue my master’s degree.

For the past five years, I have worked in school settings supporting children and adolescents as a school-based mental health professional. During this time, I have completed extensive training in areas including family systems, trauma, autism, ADHD, grief, learning disabilities, and behavioral crisis interventions.

I am a passionate advocate for the well-being and safety of children and families, and I am committed to providing compassionate, culturally responsive support.

I specialize in helping individuals who are dealing with stress, anxiety and / or depression. We can't control what happens much of the time but can learn to navigate it.

I have a deep understanding and extensive clinical experience working with people who have been impacted by cancer or other life-altering medical diagnoses or situations. I believe therapy should be a collaborative space built on compassion and curiosity.
