Danielle Armstead
Founder & CEO
Licensed Professional Counselor
M.S, NCC, LPC
My approach to therapy goes beyond addressing symptoms—I work closely with clients to uncover the underlying causes of their struggles and to help them build resilience, purpose, and strength.
With a background rooted in trauma, traditional and innovative therapeutic practices, I am dedicated to offering care that is both deeply personal and highly effective. I believe that every individual has the ability to overcome obstacles and achieve lasting change, and I am passionate about guiding them on that journey.
As a leader, I am proud to mentor a team that shares my commitment to excellence and client-centered care. Together, we strive to foster an environment where every person feels heard, valued, and supported.
Reginald Bell
Clinical Substance Abuse Counselor
M.S, ADC-SUD, CCTPII, ASIST-T
I specialize in helping individuals conquer addiction and co-occurring disorders by providing a safe and supportive environment. Through compassionate guidance and evidence-based practices, I work with clients to explore the roots of their addiction, develop effective coping skills, and rebuild their lives. My approach focuses on creating a personalized plan for long-term recovery that emphasizes lasting sobriety, strong relationships, financial stability, and a renewed sense of purpose and self-worth. Together, we will embrace sobriety, nurture healthy relationships, achieve financial stability, discover meaning, and cultivate self-worth as you reclaim your life from addiction.
