Your Wellness, Our Mission

Staires Counseling, PLLC is a behavioral health counseling and consulting firm that offers individual and group therapy services. As a trauma-informed, LGBTQIA+ ally counselor, we provide a safe and supportive environment for our clients to navigate and make positive changes in their lives.

Our mission is to make behavioral health accessible to more people. We believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to improve their mental and emotional well-being, and we are committed to providing the support and resources necessary to make this possible.

Empowering Change, One Step at a Time

What sets us apart from our competitors is our extensive experience and our unique approach to therapy. Our lead counselor holds a Master of Arts in Human Relations and has over 25 years of experience working with adults, children, families, and couples. We have helped clients address a wide range of issues, including anxiety and depression, psychosis, complex trauma, and addiction.

In addition to our therapeutic services, we also handle our own billing. We understand that dealing with insurance and billing can often be a frustrating part of the therapeutic process, and we strive to make this process as easy and straightforward as possible for our clients.

Our approach to therapy is positive, person-centered, collaborative, and strengths-based. We believe in working with our clients to identify their strengths and build on them to achieve their goals. However, we also have a finely tuned “BS meter” – after 25+ years of counseling, we know when someone is not being honest with themselves or others, and we are not afraid to call it out. We believe that honesty and authenticity are crucial to the therapeutic process, and we are committed to maintaining a space where these values are upheld.
