About Us
Dr. Dione Simmons, LPC-S
I consider myself an easy going, caring and compassionate person that desires the best for everyone. I understand that life can place obstacles in your way, but it takes having people in your corner to help you get through it. With a PhD in Marriage and Family Counseling and a Licensed Professional Counselor - Supervisor, I strive to see the best in people and want to be a light for those living in darkness. I work with clients dealing with depression, anxiety, anger, loss of identity, relationship issues, abandonment, sexual, emotional and physical abuse. I promise to help all those in need, regardless of race, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation or gender. I believe there are no clear-cut ways or short cuts for therapy, and will tailor my approaches for therapy to the needs of the individual, couples or groups. I enjoy working with individuals, couples, blended families and adolescents willing to give their all to the therapeutic process.

About Us
Syreeta Miller, LPC
One of our deepest longings is to be heard. Let me listen.
Throughout life, we develop experiences and beliefs that measure how much value we place on family, friends, marriage, education, and our careers. We forget to take inventory of our needs and lose sight of what is important to us. When we forget how to love ourselves or our loved ones, things like misunderstandings, negative emotions, isolation, and feelings of helplessness pressure us to hide in our shells.
My goal is to meet you where you are. To understand your environment and help navigate your struggles and improve your living. I want to empower you with tools that will assist you in your life and encourage you to live a life filled with purpose and understanding. I would like to offer you a safe space to share your innermost thoughts, and I invite you to join me on this road to healing and growth.
One step at a time, that’s all I ask of you. One step towards the journey to break free of the stressors, mental illness, and addictions that can plague our lives.

About Us
Kenchell Smith, Life Coach; Supervised by Dr. Dione Simmons, LPC-S
Life is not always easy. Navigating and building healthy relationships, finding balance and peace, letting go, regaining strength and motivation, being accountable and making better choices all require you to be dedicated and consistent. I am a considerate, caring, non-judgmental person who believes that while you are on your journey, you deserve someone that can help you discover and implement tools and perspectives.
I hold my Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and am in the process of my LPC-Associate. My education prepares me to work with individuals, families, couples, and groups
counseling. My approach to counseling will focus on person-centered, cognitive behavior, reality, and solution-focused therapy.
Person-centered therapy helps the client learn how to facilitate change in their lives, while providing empathy and positivity.
Cognitive therapy helps the client evaluate how their thinking influences their behavior, and helps them identify new behaviors to
emulate. Reality therapy helps the client learn realistic and responsible action. Solution-focused therapy helps the client learn ways
to not just talk about their problems, but also to give them solutions.

About Us
Barbara Langston, LPC-Associate; Supervised by Dr. Dione Simmons, LPC-S
Together… we can do this!!! Just be patient. We all make mistakes….it’s how we recover from them and bounce back!!! I borrow from various counseling techniques. Among these techniques is Solution-Focused Therapy and Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy. I also use other person-centered approaches. As we begin the counseling process, I realize that each person is unique and individual. Each will need something individualized to determine the path to their journey towards healing. Clients may need to complete assessments, and possibly some take home assignments. Some clients may be with me longer. All of this is determined individually. I will maintain awareness of cultural meaning, confidentiality and privacy. I am a warm and patient listener that brings integrity with a dash of empathy and hope. Effective counseling only occurs when mutual trust is earned and maintained. All I ask is that you trust the process, be patient, and do what is asked. There is a reason behind each task, assignment and question.
As an associate, I will work with my supervisor as a team. We will work together to ensure that clients’ have individualized care to meet their unique needs.
