Dr. Marika Long, LPC, CCTP, C-DBT, CCTHP, EMDRPT-II

Founder & Clinical Director

I’m Dr. Marika Long, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP), Certified Dialectical Behavior Therapist (C-DBT), Certified Clinical Telemental Health Provider (CCTHP) and Advanced Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Professional (EMDRPT-II). I hold a Ph.D. in Counseling and Psychological Studies with a specialization in Trauma and Crisis Counseling.

My work is rooted in helping individuals heal from trauma, manage life’s transitions, and cultivate resilience and peace. My therapeutic approach integrates evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and solution-focused therapy, always grounded in empathy, collaboration, and cultural competence.

My goal is to create a space where clients feel seen, supported, and empowered to grow. I believe that healing is a process of rediscovery of one’s strength, voice, and capacity for hope.

“He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.” — Psalms 147:3

Jada Rasheed, RMFT

Psychotherapist

I’m Jada Rasheed, a Registered Marriage and Family Therapist (RMFT), and my work is rooted in the belief that meaningful change happens through connection, curiosity, and collaboration. I hold a Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Nova Southeastern University, and my clinical training has allowed me to work with individuals, couples, teens, young adults, men, and women navigating life transitions, identity exploration, relational challenges, and personal growth.

My journey into therapy has been shaped not only by education, but by lived experience and a deep respect for each person’s story. I understand that change is inevitable, but it doesn’t have to be faced alone. In therapy, I offer a space where clients can show up authentically, without pressure to have everything figured out.

My therapeutic approach is systemic and collaborative, drawing from narrative, solution-focused, and collaborative modalities. This means I look beyond isolated symptoms to understand the larger picture—relationships, environment, values, and patterns—while also helping clients identify practical, meaningful steps forward. I view therapy as a partnership: you bring your experiences and goals, and together we work toward insight, clarity, and movement.

Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply ready for something different, my goal is to support your version of success. Therapy with me is not about fitting into a mold, it’s about creating a space designed for you to reflect, grow, and move toward the life you want to live.

“Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind” — Romans 12:2
