Our Team

My name is Charlis Harvey and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor here at Health In Mind. I am accepting referrals for Parent Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT). I have experience working with trauma, anxiety, depression, adjustment, behavior issues, couples, and families.

I attended Liberty University where I received my Masters of Arts Degree in Professional Counseling. Prior to starting my journey in counseling, I was an elementary school teacher for 9 years.

My lifelong passion for helping others and my belief in the importance of mental health have led me to this journey to become a Licensed Professional Counselor. Through my work, I aim to educate children, teens, and adults on mental health and help them to develop effective coping skills through the use of Psychoeducation, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Art Therapy Activities, Talk Therapy, and Mindfulness.

Hello! My name is Corrie, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with the Health in Mind team. Life has its challenges, but you do not have to face them alone! Sometimes a major transition is overwhelming. Sometimes loss or trauma threatens your ability to carry on. Sometimes difficult thoughts and feelings keep you stuck in anxiety or depression. Whatever the challenges you are facing, I will support you in developing the tools you need to live for what truly matters to you. I look forward to encouraging you as you explore your unique life story and write the next chapter.

I work with couples and individuals aged 16 and older. My areas of focus include depression, anxiety, relationship challenges, trauma and life transitions. My treatment approach is based in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Trauma-Informed Stabilization Treatment (TIST), Relational Life Therapy (RLT), and Gottman Method. I am a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional and Nationally Certified Counselor.

As a counselor, I seek to connect with clients through empathetic listening and to support mental health and emotional balance. In my practice of massage and yoga, I have focused on easing chronic pain and using mindfulness techniques to promote awareness, relaxation, and health. The opportunity to bring this knowledge to counseling allows me to explore the connection between mind and body to promote mental and physical well-being as well as freedom.

The beauty and wonder of nature are a central part of my life. I am eager to learn about people and what inspires them. From there, I hope to encourage people to tell their own stories and help them to find their meaning. For those reasons, I am thrilled to be a part of the Health in Mind team!

Hi, Heather here! I believe therapy begins with a warm, trusting, and judgment-free relationship where you feel truly seen and accepted. My approach is genuine, down-to-earth, and trauma-informed, honoring the experiences that have shaped you while helping build resilience, self-compassion, and meaningful change. Together, we’ll explore tools to strengthen the mind-body connection, navigate life’s challenges, and reconnect with joy. Therapy doesn’t have to feel intimidating – I believe in being real, welcoming laughter alongside the hard moments, and creating a space where you can show up exactly as you are.

I work with clients ages 14+ who are navigating anxiety, stress, life transitions, self-doubt, and the impact of past experiences. Drawing from ACT, mindfulness, and a person-centered approach, I help clients reconnect with their values, develop practical coping tools, and build safety in the body. Together, we work toward feeling more at home in yourself.

My name is Khoredia Thiam and I am a Licensed Resident Counselor. I received my M.S. in Mental Health Counseling and Rehabilitation from Virginia Commonwealth University in 2023. I joined Health In Mind back in 2022 as a practicum student and have enjoyed the transition into a resident outpatient therapist.

I provide individual treatment to a diverse set of clients from minors, ages 9 and up to adults. I have experience working with clients to manage ADHD, depression, adjustment, and anxiety disorders among others. I love working with an array of approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy and inner child work. I especially have a passion for working with minors and their parents exploring behavior concerns, addressing identity issues, and being a support system for our kiddos. In addition to working with minors, I gravitate towards concerns such as grief/loss, unresolved childhood trauma, POC, women’s issues, and balancing work/family life. Let us know if I am the right fit for you.

Hello! My name is Janis Chen and I am an Outpatient Resident in Counseling who recently graduated from William & Mary’s Clinical Mental Health Counseling program. I also have a B.A. in Psychology from the University of Virginia where my passion for mental health first began.

I believe that while there are seasons in our life that can be difficult to navigate, they can also be powerful opportunities to encounter ourselves. My hope as a counselor is to partner alongside you through both the challenges and joys life has to offer and to help you grow towards your goals.

I draw from many different therapeutic approaches, but my main counseling lens is to be person-centered, strengths based, trauma informed, and multiculturally sensitive. I also believe in an integrative/ holistic approach to counseling and draw from several theories including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Psychodynamic Therapy, and Narrative Therapy. I love working with young adults navigating life’s ups and downs, as well as relationships, spirituality, culture, and identity.

When I am not working, I love to spend time with my friends, explore the outdoors, watch a movie or read a book, play a cozy game, or cook and bake!

Hi there! My name is Logan, and I am a Resident in Marriage and Family Therapy with the Health in Mind team.

I’ve worked with clients as young as five to as old as ninety-eight, from school settings to the memory units of nursing homes. Everyone is different: I take a whole-picture, socioculturally attuned approach to your treatment by focusing on your mind, body, and the interactions you have with others.

I want your treatment to feel uniquely yours, and in individual treatment I tend towards strength-based modalities like Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Solution-focused and Existential therapy; with relational and family therapy I use Narrative and Gottman therapies as well as NonViolent Communication. Of course, as a Registered Dance/Movement Therapist I’d love to move with you as well– and you don’t have to be a dancer to move!

Therapy is a creative process. I’m excited to help create a space that feels right for you.

I am Brandon Bassham, a student intern at South University, where I am working toward my Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I graduated from Longwood University in 2017 and Old Dominion University in 2019. Prior to beginning my journey in professional counseling, I worked in higher education.

I am passionate about supporting individuals through self-exploration and meaningful conversations around LGBTQ+ identity, neurodiversity, and personal growth. I strive to help people better understand and accept themselves and their life experiences, as I believe this understanding provides a strong foundation for healing.

I am a student intern pursuing a Master of Science in Rehabilitation and Mental Health Counseling at Virginia Commonwealth University. I chose this path out of a deep belief that authentic human connection can be a catalyst for lasting change. My approach centers on building a genuine, collaborative partnership with my clients in a judgment-free space where they can identify meaningful goals and explore their unique experiences. My goal is to create a therapeutic environment that enables clients to tap into their natural capacity for growth and personal development, empowering them to create a more fulfilling life.

My name is Angela Le, and I am a student intern and graduate student in the Rehabilitation and Clinical Mental Health Counseling program at Virginia Commonwealth University. I recently graduated from the University of Virginia, where I studied Psychology and Cognitive Science with a concentration in Neuroscience.

My approach to counseling is collaborative, strengths-based, and client-centered, meaning I aim to create a supportive and nonjudgmental space where you feel heard, respected, and empowered in your growth. I primarily draw from person-centered and cognitive-behavioral approaches while also incorporating mindfulness-based techniques to help clients better understand their experiences, identify patterns in their thoughts and behaviors, and develop practical strategies for navigating life’s challenges.

I am also passionate about providing culturally responsive and trauma-informed care and creating an inclusive space that honors each client’s unique cultural background and experiences. My goal is to support clients as they navigate challenges such as anxiety, life transitions, and identity-related concerns while developing greater self-understanding, self-acceptance, and confidence.

My name is Lyndsey Lawrence, and I am a student intern at Health in Mind. I am currently attending Virginia Commonwealth University, working towards an M.S. in Rehabilitation and Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I graduated from the University of Vermont in 2023, where I studied Psychology and Human Development and Family Studies. I am excited for the opportunity to learn and grow in my counseling skills and further develop my professional identity through this internship. I have experience working with clients to provide trauma-informed supportive counseling, play-based approaches with children, and cognitive behavioral therapy to address concerns like burnout, emotion regulation, communication, adjustment, and loneliness. I hope to make all my clients feel understood, safe, and empowered to achieve their goals!
