Biography: Most people face challenges in their life and I believe sharing those difficulties with a qualified person can be one of the best ways to overcome any obstacle. Whether the challenge is big or small, mental health therapy can help you find the answers you seek. Often, people just need to be heard and validated for their emotions or they want a sounding board off which to bounce possible decisions.

Biography: Hi, my name is Connie Owens and I am a licensed therapist with more than 20 years of experience in helping others.
