Many of my clients seek out my services after past attempts at therapy have proven to be unhelpful and end up finding relief within only a few short weeks. I often hear these horror stories from clients about having been to multiple therapists, who "just listened" and "didn't really help" them to work through anything. As a therapist, I want to ultimately give you the tools you need to be able to work through stressful situations when they arise, rather than merely listening. Many have described my approach as "no-nonsense", "direct" and empowering. I know how tempting it might be to simply give up, but let's get you back on track.
Although I have worked with a wide range of clients and clinical problems throughout my career, I most often work with clients in couples therapy to improve their relationships, as well as in individual therapy for issues ranging from depression and anxiety to substance use and concerns related to sexual orientation and identity.
I know that making that initial phone call is a difficult thing to do, but don't give up just yet. Most of my clients tell me, after a fairly short amount of time working together, they no longer need my help; and this is my aim as a therapist - to give you the tools you need to fly solo. I look forward to getting to know you and helping you become the person you want to be.
Credentials: I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (Connecticut), Licensed Mental Health Counselor (Florida), Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor (Texas), and National Certified Counselor (National Board for Certified Counselors), in addition to holding Accredited Member status with the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy.
Dr. Courtney Cornick
Licensed Psychologist
People have the unending capacity to heal, cope, and change their lives even through life’s most difficult challenges. It is common to feel alone, isolated, and hopeless when a health condition becomes chronic. Not knowing when/if things will improve or hearing that your medical team has nothing more to offer can be devastating.
I have a passion for helping individuals cope and find peace in the midst of living with physical health conditions. I use integrative therapeutic practices, including evidence-based psychotherapy, to meet each individual where they are in life. I take a holistic approach to consider the mind-body interaction and utilize techniques such as clinical hypnosis and mindfulness to help individuals reduce stress and manage chronic pain.
I received my doctorate in psychology from the University of Iowa and have specialized training as a health psychologist. I have spent my career working in hospital and private practice settings to help individuals from all identities, ability statuses, and walks of life to increase their well-being and live valued lives. It would be an honor to join you on your wellness journey.
Credentials: I am a Licensed Psychologist in Illinois, Indiana, Florida, and Wisconsin and earned my Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology from The University of Iowa.

Hello! I'm glad that you're here reading this. I know looking for a therapist in this way might be daunting, frustrating, and/or feel like unknown territory, but I want to invite you to work with me so I can help make the process easier for you.
You may be trying counseling for the first time or maybe it's been a while (or maybe you didn't get what you were hoping for out of previous experiences with therapy, but are willing to give it another shot), regardless of why you are here; I want to make your counseling sessions a comfortable place where you can seek help if needed or simply just open up to somebody. I try to work with my clients as a collaborator, giving you the space to make your needs known and direct therapy goals as you see beneficial for yourself.
I work well with young and middle-aged adults and am also coming into my own working with pre-teens and adolescents. I have helped people cope with challenges such as anxiety, depression, chronic illness/disability (especially in the world of paralysis/wheelchair users), more serious mental illness, and goal setting.
Credentials: I am provisionally licensed, under supervision, in the state of Michigan.
A. Whitney Shea
MVC Owner, Licensed Professional Counselor, Telehealth Licensed Mental Health Counselor
I am grateful to have been an active-duty military spouse for almost 20 years. This, along with my professional experiences as a social worker at an alternative high school as well as United Cerebral Palsy and being an Adjunct Professor of Psychology for several distance learning programs (18+ years), has given me the chance to meet, work, and learn with people from all over the world, each with unique backgrounds and stories.
With empathic yet honest communication, I support adolescents and adults, taking advantage of the Socratic method and person-centered and eclectic therapies in session. I take a Christian perspective but am comfortable counseling individuals of all faiths. My specialty populations include couples, college students and those suffering from anxiety.
It is my belief that every human deserves to feel safe, cared for, understood and respected. It would be an honor to collaborate with you in doing my part in helping to make that happen.
Virtual counseling can be the perfect platform for us to become a team and work on your goals in a convenient, safe space. We have the very real advantage of being able to meet up from day one in a place of ease, comfort and hope.
Credentials: I am licensed as an LPC in the states of Arizona and Connecticut and a LMHC (virtually) in Florida.
Eric W. Danielson
Licensed Clinical Social Worker
Hello, my name is Eric W. Danielson and I very much look forward to working with you.
First and foremost, I want to say thank you for reaching out for help, as it is often a very challenging thing to do. But it is also one of the most important, and as such, I am interested in helping you find immediate wins that can motivate you to greater levels of empowerment while experiencing your desired change. Therefore, if you choose to allow me to walk alongside you as your guide, I appreciate in advance the invitation into the spaces of your home and the areas of darkness you desire to overcome.
My approach is influenced by both my military career as a retired Army Flight Medical NCO for seventeen years and as a Counseling / Training and Development Professional.
Over the last 25+ years, I have had the honor and privilege of hearing and learning from many different people. These lives and stories have greatly influenced how I assess, incorporate complex differential diagnoses, and provide treatment with tailored modalities in dealing with the stress response (a.k.a. "fight, flight or freeze"), complex injury, and illness (anxiety, fear, depression, grief, loss, shame, anger, trauma, moral injury, challenges with spirituality, substances up to a degree, and process addictions, etc.) within special patient populations.
Credentials: I am a licensed clinical social worker in the states of Florida, Montana and Texas.
