Harbor Counseling

02/24/2026

At Harbor Counseling Services, we love getting to work alongside people who are not only excellent professionals but genuinely good humans, and Edwards Orthodontics is exactly that.

Dr. Edwards is who we rent from, who we happily send referrals to, and who took care of both my son’s braces and mine. From day one, he and his staff have been nothing but kind, attentive, and incredibly skilled at what they do.

It’s rare to find a practice that balances top-tier clinical care with warmth, integrity, and true care for people, but that’s exactly what you’ll find at Edwards Orthodontics. They don’t just straighten teeth; they create an experience that makes patients feel comfortable, seen, and well cared for.

We are grateful to share space with them, grateful to collaborate with them, and confident recommending them to our clients, friends, and families, not just because of the great results, but because of who they are.

If you’re considering orthodontic care, you’d be in wonderful hands with Dr. Edwards and his team. 💙 We love y'all so much!!!!

✨ Staff Spotlight: Amechele Toups✨
I want to take a moment to publicly recognize Amechele, who truly keeps the wheels turning at Harbor Counseling.
Running a therapy practice takes far more than what people see from the outside: scheduling, communication, insurance coordination, organization, and a thousand small details that matter deeply to our clients and clinicians. Amechele shows up every day handling those details with care, patience, and steadiness.

She is often the first voice people hear when they reach out, and she does that role with warmth and professionalism. She supports our therapists, helps our clients feel grounded and informed, and manages the flow of the office in a way that allows me to focus on clinical work and growth.

No office runs well without someone anchoring it, and Amechele does exactly that. I am grateful for the work she does, the heart she brings, and the way she helps make Harbor Counseling a place that feels organized, supportive, and human.
Thank you, Amechele, for all you do. We are better because of you. 💙

Couch update: After a month of procrastination, no plan, and using incorrect drill bits… it’s fixed.
By “fixed” I mean: if it collapses, that’s between you and the Lord. 🙃🛠️ don’t be surprised if I ask you to sign a waiver the next time you come in 🤣🤣🤣

🇺🇸Happy Veterans Day from Harbor Counseling Services 🇺🇸

Today, we honor the brave men and women who have served our country, and we do so from a place that is deeply personal to us.

At Harbor Counseling, we are proudly pro-military. Our practice has been shaped and strengthened by the sacrifices of those who have worn the uniform, especially those close to our hearts. My husband’s service and years in the military fundamentally shaped who I am, the work I do, and the ability I’ve had to build this practice. His sacrifice gave me the stability, resilience, and perspective I needed to create Harbor Counseling and serve our community the way we do today.

Because of veterans, because of their willingness to stand in the gap, we get to live in a country where we can openly talk about trauma, grief, mental health, and freedom. We can have conversations that in other parts of the world people cannot even acknowledge. That is a gift, and it is not lost on us.

To every veteran: thank you.
Thank you for your courage, your sacrifice, your sleepless nights, your resilience, and your unwavering service.
Thank you for protecting our freedoms, visible and invisible.
Thank you for allowing us, as mental health professionals, to do this sacred work in a country where healing is possible and voices can be heard.

We see you.
We honor you.
And we are grateful for you today and every day.

From our Harbor family to yours.
Happy Veterans Day. 🇺🇸💙
