Juanita Beard, LMHC, LPC, CCM, CCTP

Have you been faking the funk and are ready to do the work? Or are you the one holding it all together for everyone else around you while you struggle inside? You've come to the right place for support. I am a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional and Geriatric Mental Health Specialist. I have spent my career serving diverse multicultural backgrounds from teens to older adults. My passion is to serve the under served, as well as clients who may not be apt to seek services due to a lack of culturally relevant representation. With me, you can have a therapist who looks like you and understands your cultural lens. This is important in effectively achieving wellness and recovery. My ancillary experience includes fitness instruction of yoga and Pilates. I believe in incorporating movement and meditation into my therapy practice as clients gain trust and comfort, are able, and express interest to resolve issues of depression, anxiety, panic, attention deficit, and the ups and downs that come with day to day stress. We all go through blends and transitions in our life. The old adage of "pull yourself up by your bootstraps" no longer serves us. When the world around us is "doing the most," of course we are going to feel the pressure! Getting support for those during our difficult times in life is just what I offer. My hope is that you will rediscover your inner strength through our work together and find the tools to combat what has you feeling blue.
