Jacob Sitton is a Licensed Professional Counselor who has experience working with adults of all age groups and in individual, couple, and group contexts. Though Jacob has worked with clients experiencing a variety of issues and conditions, he most consistently finds himself counseling individuals struggling with chronic anxiety, depression and suicidality, low self-esteem, grief, relational difficulty, and both men's and women's issues. In addition, Jacob has had the privilege of working with clients who are overcoming trauma, battling addiction, or living with borderline personality disorder.

Jacob completed his master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Liberty University. He adopts a collaborative approach to counseling, acknowledging the client as the expert on their experiences. Jacob's role is to help the client foster the awareness necessary to evaluate their experiences free from any unhealthy measures of worth, and to equip them with the tools to respond appropriately to those experiences.

Jacob holds a deep reverence for the resilience and perseverance his clients exhibit by pursuing mental health, and he regularly finds himself inspired by their progress. Even taking this first step toward wellbeing by exploring potential counselors deserves recognition. If you are willing, Jacob encourages you to take the next step as well and reach out.

I am a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 44 years of experience in behavioral mental health. Throughout my career, I’ve worked with individuals living with schizophrenia, OCD, PTSD, depression, anxiety, and borderline personality disorder. I take pride in helping clients navigate challenges with time management, organization, and self-esteem so they can make meaningful, lasting life changes and achieve better balance in their daily lives.

I earned my Master’s in Nursing from Walden University, and I am board-certified. My approach to care is holistic, recognizing how nutrition, exercise, and lifestyle changes impact emotional well-being. I incorporate talk therapy, mindfulness, and mind-body techniques to support clients’ mental, physical, and spiritual health.

I see seeking mental health care as a courageous act of self-investment. My role is to provide a safe, supportive space where clients can explore challenges, gain clarity, and grow in confidence. Together, we focus on building tools for healing, developing healthier habits, and creating a more balanced life—one step at a time.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 4 years of experience supporting individuals through life transitions, anxiety, grief, mood disorders, trauma, and substance use. I specialize in working with adults who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected—from themselves, their relationships, or their sense of purpose. Many of my clients come to therapy seeking clarity, healing, and a more grounded sense of self. Together, we work to understand patterns that no longer serve them, build resilience, and cultivate meaningful change.

I earned my Master’s in Social Work from Virginia Commonwealth University and I ground my approach in evidence-based practices such as cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and dialectical behavioral therapy. I support clients in slowing down, tuning into their emotions and patterns, and making intentional choices.

I know that reaching out for support can feel vulnerable, and I want you to know you are not alone in whatever you are facing. If you’re ready to explore your story and take steps toward healing or growth, I’d be honored to walk alongside you. When you are ready, I invite you to take that next step—we will move forward at your pace together.
