Feelings First Counseling is a virtual mental health counseling practice dedicated to providing compassionate, accessible, and personalized mental health services. We offer individual therapy, couples counseling, and affordable therapy options for individuals seeking support with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, life transitions, self-esteem, emotional regulation, and personal growth.

Our practice is rooted in the belief that everyone deserves access to quality mental health care and a therapeutic environment where they feel heard, understood, and supported. What makes Feelings First Counseling unique is our commitment to meeting clients where they are while recognizing that each individual's experiences, relationships, and emotional needs are different.

Through our team of dedicated clinicians, we strive to create an inclusive, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore their experiences, develop healthier coping strategies, strengthen relationships, and work toward meaningful and lasting change. We are also committed to increasing access to care through our Affordable Therapy Program, which provides reduced-cost counseling services to individuals seeking more financially accessible treatment.

Approach to Therapy

At Feelings First Counseling, we take an integrative, individualized, and trauma-informed approach to therapy. We recognize that healing is not a one-size-fits-all process, and our clinicians work collaboratively with clients to identify treatment goals and develop an approach that aligns with their unique experiences, needs, and strengths. Our therapeutic approaches draw from evidence-informed modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), psychodynamic therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), attachment-based interventions, and Internal Family Systems (IFS)-informed techniques. We place particular emphasis on understanding how early experiences, attachment patterns, relationships, and life circumstances influence an individual's emotional well-being and interpersonal functioning. Rather than focusing solely on symptoms, we encourage clients to explore the underlying experiences and patterns that may contribute to their current challenges. Our goal is to foster a therapeutic relationship built on trust, empathy, collaboration, and emotional safety. We strive to empower clients to develop greater self-awareness, strengthen emotional regulation, establish healthy boundaries, improve relationships, and cultivate a deeper understanding of themselves.
