Meet Our Team
Graceful Self-Help Counseling is a growing wellness-centered practice focused on compassion, emotional wellness, education, and future counseling services in Kentucky. Our mission is to create calm, supportive spaces where individuals and families feel seen, respected, encouraged, and emotionally supported.
Graceful Self-Help Counseling is currently in a pre-licensure transition phase. At this time, services are limited to educational resources, emotional wellness support, psychoeducation, workshops, guided journals, and non-clinical coaching/support services until full LMFTA licensure is finalized in Kentucky. Independent clinical psychotherapy and counseling services will officially begin following active LMFTA licensure and supervisory approval.
