02 · In Ferris's own words
Reproduced in full and unedited - not summarised, not tightened, not rewritten in a house voice.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with a passion for helping individuals-especially women and young adults-heal from trauma, narcissistic abuse, and generational wounds. With years of experience supporting people through life transitions, identity development, and mental health challenges, I bring a culturally responsive and empowering approach to therapy. My background includes working in private practice, social services, and facilitating professional development programs and workshops for individuals and organizations. My therapeutic approach is deeply rooted in my professional background and lived experiences, allowing me to intuitively connect with you through a lens of empathy, cultural awareness, and practical insight.
My approach to therapy is rooted in faith, solutions, and the transformative power of healthy relationships. I believe that healing happens when people are given the tools to reframe their thinking, renew their minds, and reconnect with their values. Whether you're unpacking childhood wounds, exploring identity, or navigating complicated relationships, I meet you where you are-with empathy, honesty, and hope. I often integrate spiritual principles, cognitive-behavioral techniques, and trauma -informed care to support you in your journey toward wholeness.
People that work with me can expect a therapeutic space that feels real, safe, and affirming. You'll walk away with practical tools, deeper self-awareness, and the confidence to set boundaries and empowered choices. My goal is for you to not just survive your story-but to rewrite it with intention, healing, and joy. Therapy with me is a collaborative journey where your voice is honored, your goals are centered, and transformation is always, always possible.

03 · What happens next
Ferris practises through BetterHelp, so the route in is BetterHelp's. This is that sequence, written by Maker Therapy from the platform's published process - not a description of Ferris's own practice, and not a promise about how quickly anything happens.
BetterHelp opens with a set of questions about what you are dealing with, what you want from therapy, and any preferences on the therapist. You are not booking Ferris at this point.
BetterHelp matches algorithmically by default, so asking for Ferris is a step you have to take. There is a field for requesting a specific therapist during sign-up, and you can switch afterwards from your account. Starting from a link on this page does not by itself assign you to Ferris.
You will be offered somebody else rather than put on a waitlist. Worth knowing, because it is easy to assume a match is the person you asked for.
A first session is typically history and orientation: what brought you, what has been tried, what you want to be different. It is also where the questions in the next section belong.
Changing therapist on BetterHelp does not need a reason. A first session that does not click is common and is not a verdict on therapy. That option existing is the main practical difference between a platform and a private practice.
