In case no one has told you lately, we are truly proud of all you have accomplished.
Growth often happens quietly, when we face challenges we once believed were beyond our capacity and take them one step at a time. With each attempt, we build resilience, confidence, and a deeper understanding of our own strengths.
Progress is rarely linear, but showing up, trying again, and continuing forward is meaningful work. And that effort deserves to be recognized

Untangling lights can be super tricky, you may think you have it all figured out and then suddenly they are twisted in a new way. Untangling your feelings might also feel this way, but therapy can help you to untangle whatever you are feeling or experiencing. Give us a call and we can talk about what therapists would best meet your needs!

Aspire Counseling LLC

Jessica Tappana, LCSW started Aspire Counseling in May 2017 to provide quality, Evidence Based mental health treatment to individuals seeking healing from trauma, grief, anxiety/fear and overwhelming stress. Since then she’s added several additional therapists each who she has known in other settings and believe provide quality care. Aspire Counseling focuses on treating individuals with each therapist having a slightly different “niche.” Jessica speaks to each new client personally about what they are looking for to help match you up with a therapist who will be the best fit for your unique needs, because we understand that the most important factor in whether or not therapy will be helpful is the quality of the relationship between the therapist and client!
