SCROLL DOWN
Feeling misunderstood, constantly juggling different personas, and grappling with uncertainty about your true self can be utterly draining. It's isolating and can hold you back from fully embracing life's opportunities. You might be questioning the authenticity of your existence and yearning for a meaningful life.
Imagine a life where you are authentically you, where you navigate challenges from a place of self-assurance and presence. Picture yourself experiencing deep self-awareness, emotional clarity, and the freedom to live without pretense. It's within you—the courage to embrace your true self, to step into a life that resonates with who you genuinely are.
My philosophy
My approach centers on demystifying the therapeutic journey, ensuring it's a collaborative and shared experience. I see myself as your guide on this journey, not leading from the front but walking alongside you, offering support and expertise as needed. Your process takes center stage in our work together, directing our discussions, insights, and growth. I integrate clinically proven methods into our sessions while acknowledging and valuing your expertise in your own life.

Oliver Parkes, M.S, LCPC-c
As a licensed clinical professional counselor holding a master's degree in clinical counseling, I firmly believe in the transformative power of counseling to enhance overall wellness and fortify individuals against potential mental health challenges. I adhere to ethical practices and evidence-based modalities, integrating psychological assessments to tailor treatments. My approach involves cultivating a non-judgmental space where clients can bravely explore life's psychological complexities. Adopting a 'lead from behind' stance, I prioritize listening, feedback, and incisive questions that empower clients to navigate their thoughts, often employing a solution-focused approach.
