Hello Scholars, I'm Salihah Talifarro, therapist and practice owner of Wellness Journey Counseling and Embodiment Services LLC. Adjusting to a new environment away from home can be difficult and I would like to help support you in your goals of achieving academic success while maintaining your mental health. I specialize in adjustment issues, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, relationship issues, and perinatal mood disorders (post-partum anxiety, depression, OCD).

I am a bilingual psychologist-English & Mandarin and have expertise in treating Anxiety, Depression, Trauma, PTSD, Sexual and Gender Identity Exploration, Cultural Adjustment & Life Transition, Self-Esteem & Self Criticism, Relationship Issues, & Cultural Identity. I specialize in working with ethic minorities, immigrants, refugees, people in the LGBTQA+ community, as well as international individuals. I believe people are creative, spontaneous, & insightful. I see people as a whole person within the context of their family of origin, psychological state, & Socio-cultural environment. I use insight-oriented & experiential approaches to facilitate people’s critical thinking & reflection. I utilize evidence-based theories and build a safe & collaborative relationship, where people can be creative and authentic. My therapy goals are to assist people in finding a solution, overcoming self-criticism, externalizing self-blame, enhancing relationships, owning their authority, & improving the quality of life.

I love working with people going through life transitions & especially college students. Over the years, the pressure that students face during their college experiences has been tremendous & often find themselves struggling with perfectionism, feelings of being overwhelmed, not being good enough, bouts of depression &/or anxiety & a host of other problems. Navigating relationships whether with peers, professors, romantic or coworkers can become stressful often leading to not knowing where to turn or what resources are available. I want to walk alongside you & support you during this season of your life so you can move on to the next one! By Appointment Only!

Hello! My name is Pamelia Sublett and I'm a licensed clinical social worker in Indiana, Illinois, Minnesota, Michigan, Nevada and Washington State. I currently am offering on telehealth. My specialites are: anxiety, depression, and bipolar. I have been a therapist for over 12 years. I treat every client as an individual and not as a collective whole. I believe that every individual is important and bring their own person into our sessions. I'd love to hear from you!

I work best with individuals who struggle with anxiety or low mood, or feel stuck in habits that no longer serve them. Many of my clients are neurodivergent, late-diagnosed, or highly self-aware but overwhelmed. They’re seeking real tools, not just talk, and want a therapist who’s authentic, supportive, and goal-oriented. If you’re ready to stop people-pleasing, reconnect with yourself, and create a life that feels meaningful, I’d love to work with you.

When it comes to addiction, individuals, families, and churches feel the impact and search for freedom. At NewDay, we provide a unique experience using evidence-based addiction treatment while emphasizing the Christian aspect of recovery as anchors to provide comprehensive care for the whole person and their family.

I work best with students seeking to understand the deeper sources of their issues. Many students experience anxiety and depression especially when first entering college. This can be very difficult and disruptive personally, socially and academically. Often there are feelings of deep sadness, uncertainty, fear, loneliness, shame and anger. There is a way through this difficult time and I would be very interested to work it through with you.

Do you find it difficult to manage the stress in your life? Are you motivated to make positive changes that will improve your overall well-being? Do you want to better understand who you are so that you can start cultivating rewarding life experiences? If you are tired of being bogged down by the stress of life and are motivated to start making healthy change, then I am ready to walk with you on this journey. I have a passion for working with the LGBTQ+ community and the many challenges that they face daily. I focus on building a therapeutic relationship so that you feel comfortable discussing and exploring the thoughts and emotions that first brought you to my door. I focus on being a genuine person and therapist; I won't try to be the smartest person in the room or pretend that I have all the magical answers. My focus is on you and the goals we develop. Life is difficult and we are not always taught the best ways of coping with this stress, especially in our society. I am passionate about helping people make fulfilling change so that they can be who they are and live life to the fullest. Please do not hesitate to reach out to me so I can help you on your journey.

Whenever you may feel overwhelmed by life, making a decision to participate in emotional therapy sessions can be beneficial. Collaborating with a trained professional to manage the complexity of what you may be facing has been proven to be effective in learning life-long skills. These skills and experiences can help in building your own wisdom in life to better live in ways that fit what you value and what is important to you

Bottling up or stuffing down emotions can be so overwhelming to teen girls and women, especially in today’s social climate. The people that you love the most are not always equipped to support you in ways that you need and deserve. Social stigma that most people have about therapy can deter you from seeking the help that you need and deserve. I am here to help you navigate the spaces that appear difficult. Therapy helps provide a safe, non judgemental and confidential space to talk about the challenges you would like to process. Whether you have anxiety, depression or low self-esteem, together we will come up with a plan to discover your strengths so you can live your best life. Help me help you, become a better version of yourself. Life is not easy, but it is easier when you have the right help and support.

Is shame preventing you from fully experiencing life? Do you keep falling into unhealthy relationship patterns? Are you feeling overwhelmed or having difficulty adjusting to changes in your life? If these questions resonate with you, I am ready to walk with you along your healing journey. I utilize a variety of approaches, including EMDR, Trauma Focused CBT, Motivational Interviewing and psychoeducation. I very much enjoy working with young adults and specialize in adjustment/life transitions, relationship concerns, perfectionism, adult children of alcoholics, family of origin issues, shame, trauma, and codependency. I promote self-discovery, which includes not only identifying problematic patterns and obstacles, but also exploring strengths and evidence of resiliency. In addition to my professional training, my own personal experiences have equipped me with compassion, empathy, and a desire to help others feel empowered as they pursue the life they desire.

Have you experienced therapy in the past but maybe felt like the experience was too stuffy? Do you worry about judgement in the therapist’s office and find yourself filtering what you share? I know this reality is true for many people and my goal is to provide you with a new way of experiencing therapy. I have worked in all levels of care and I truly believe in a warm, holistic, and genuine approach to therapy. There is space for processing, crying, laughing, and anything else you need! I will utilize both Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) throughout our work together to set a framework and present some level of psychoeducation. While the development of coping skills and understanding our thoughts and patterns to deal with distress and aid in emotion regulation will be important to our work together, my ultimate goal in therapy is to be flexible and holistic in my approach, working alongside you collaboratively to make powerful change towards the life that you envision. I honor that you are the expert of your own life, and as a therapist I am present to help process, empower, and seek joy. I understand college is one of the most stressful times in life, and having a trusted therapist to help during this transition can make the world of difference. I have been in your shoes and would love to be your partner in experiencing this difficult but rewarding and transformative time in life.

“Why am I like this?” Not enough... too much...! You’ve always felt misunderstood by the people closest to you, and here you are AGAIN attempting to find a therapist that gets you. The more you're misunderstood by others, the more you lose touch with yourself. A new medication, googling life's problems, scrolling your fyp for answers to why life seems to hate you. Your relationships are shallow and dissatisfying... more like... nonexistent. It's hard to connect when you are deep and different. Life is fucking lonely. You’re ready to start liking yourself. Fear won't hold you back from working through the hard shit anymore! I want you to know that your idea of your ideal life is what matters to me most. I value authenticity, transparency, and humanness in my office, because your "weird" isn't really that weird at all! I specialize in working with misunderstood rebels and rule benders who want to be SEEN for who they really are rather than what others want them to be.

* ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS* Over the course of our lives, we experience life changes and unexpected events. Therapy is a place where one can process and adjust to these transitions and events. Through my education and experience, I have learned how to help clients work through these changes. Therapy will not only help one learn skills during this time of adjustment, but it will also help one learn how they can utilize these skills and strengths when they need them in the future. Over the past few years, through practicums and work experience, I have learned how to help clients across many populations adjust to life's changes. Please call or email with any questions. I look forward to hearing from you and how we can work together to help you move forward.
