Get Started

A Word from Djonide:

“I am a mental health professional whose love and passion for the field started after working with children who had no one to turn to.

Through empathic listening, I was able to provide hope to these children at a time when they needed it the most. I want to continue to be a part of something bigger than myself by instilling hope in my clients and making an impactful difference in their lives. My goal is to help clients recognize that their negative circumstances do not have to define what they can do in life. I empower my clients to see that they can do whatever they put their mind to and support them in becoming the agent of change in their mental health journey.”
