Hello and welcome! My name is Julie Buttram, I am an LPC in Pennsylvania, and received my degree from La Salle University. I have 10 years of experience working with a diverse population of individuals in outpatient therapy. The people I have worked with have come from all walks of life, many cultural experiences and identities, and across all ages (from 2 - 80 years of age).
I am August Irving, a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor (LPC-S), National Certified Counselor (NCC), and Board Certified TeleMental Health Provider (BC-TMH), and the owner of Life Lessons Counseling, LLC. I provide compassionate, evidence-based therapy to teens and adults navigating anxiety, depression, and life transitions. While I work with a diverse range of clients, I have a special interest in supporting women through midlife and perinatal challenges. My approach is collaborative and practical, focused on building resilience, clarity, and sustainable change. I offer therapy in person in Clinton, Mississippi, and virtually throughout Mississippi and Pennsylvania.
Finding a therapist who truly gets you, your background, your relationships, and the pressures you carry can be the difference between therapy that feels like homework and therapy that actually changes things. I bring both clinical expertise and a deeply personal understanding of what it means to navigate identity, belonging, and relationships in a complex world. I work with adults across the full range of human experience: women sorting through life transitions, men learning to open up in ways they never felt safe to before, and anyone wrestling with questions of who they are and where they belong. I specialize in anxiety, depression, adjustment to life changes, and the messy, beautiful work of building healthier relationships with others and with yourself.
Taking the first step toward healing is often the hardest part. I welcome you on this path and congratulate you on prioritizing your health. Are you experiencing anxiety or depression? Wanting to heal from trauma, self-esteem struggles, or grief? Feeling stuck in your efforts to live a fuller, more joyful life? Looking for parenting support? I help you find alternate ways of dealing with challenges and assist in pursuing your life goals and important relationships with renewed energy.
I'm Nakia, a licensed clinical social worker and medical social worker since 2013. After experiencing loss at a young age, it was a school counselor who helped me finally process that grief. The way she showed up for me is exactly why I do this work. My calling in life is to show up for people when they need me most, the way that counselor showed up for me when I needed it most. I am here to help you navigate through life's happenings, and I would love to be that person for you.
Hearty greetings from me, Michael Okoye, PhD, MSc, MSN, CRNP, PMHNP-BC, ANP-BC, board certified as both Psychiatric/Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and Adult Nurse Practitioner. I also have a Graduate Certificate in Gerontology (care of older adults), PESI certification as ADHD-CCSP (Certified Clinical Service Provider), and advanced degrees (master’s and PhD) with extensive experience in research and college teaching. I have nearly 15-year experience providing psychiatric/mental and behavioral healthcare in diverse clinical settings that include inpatient behavioral hospitals, correctional institutions, and outpatient and tele-psychiatric platforms. I am the president/CEO of NP Psychiatry & Geriatric Care Consultant, PLLC ---a company focused exclusively in providing psychiatric (medication management) and behavioral care in long term facilities. I precept (teach/mentor) psych nurse practitioner (NP) and Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) students, and I provide guest-lecture on psychopharmacology (psych medication management) for a local university’s DNP program. I take pride in my knowledge of psych medication management, the skills I have developed and experience I have gained
As your therapist, I create a space where you can slow down and reconnect with yourself. My style is warm, collaborative, and grounded in belief that meaningful change begins within. Whether you’re managing anxiety, relationship challenges, identity shifts, or past experiences that still affect you, we move at your pace with practical tools and honest conversation.
Each day, I provide mental health services with a holistic approach, general wellness (elevated blood pressure (hypertension), diabetes management, weight management, GLP-1 prescriptions, stress management, and nutrition), psychotherapy, talk therapy, medication management (per request), and strong advocacy for FMLA (continuous time off from work or reduced work schedule).

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 Pennsylvania
> Searching for therapists in Pennsylvania starts with finding care that matches your needs, location, and insurance. Pennsylvania has a wide range of therapists across urban and rural communities, so available options can vary by area. You may want support with anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship challenges, grief, or life transitions. As you compare Pennsylvania therapists, look for listed specialties, therapy approaches, and experience that align with what you want to discuss in care. > > Practical fit matters, too. A therapist in Philadelphia may offer different appointment options than one in Pittsburgh, Harrisburg, or a smaller Pennsylvania community. Some people prefer meeting in person, while others choose virtual sessions for scheduling flexibility or access to more therapists across the state. Before booking, review each therapist’s profile for availability, whether they are accepting new patients, their approach to sessions, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. > > The cost of therapy in Pennsylvania can vary, and using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower session costs. Headway helps you find therapists who take your insurance, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book, and compare profiles in one place. Nationally, Headway works with over 100 insurance plans, and you can confirm your coverage for your location and plan as you search — making it easier to find a therapist who matches your needs, accepts your plan, and is ready to see new patients.
