Mandy Kellums Baraka

I've counseled children, teens, adults, and families, in everything from crisis counseling to play therapy to navigating cross-cultural relationships and transitions. I love helping people grow and change, heal old wounds, and mend broken relationships. I enjoy working with people from all walks of life, and I look at the whole person.

Counseling gives us room to reflect, and that often brings more hope, insight, and courage. It's a privilege to walk with each person on their own journey. I'm convinced the counseling relationship can help you move toward hope and healing, grow in understanding, and make lasting change. Counseling is hard but good work, and I'm honored to be a small part of it.

I'm a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and Registered Play Therapist-Supervisor. I hold a PhD in Counselor Education and Supervision from Regent University. I help with adjustment, depression, anxiety, communication and relationships, stress, identity, and more.

Outside counseling, I enjoy coffee, time with family, creating fun experiences, something that resembles running, and gardening, but not all at the same time.
