Do you like horses? I believe healing happens in relationships, with ourselves, with others, and with the natural world around us. My path to becoming a therapist has always been rooted in a deep respect for both human resilience and the calming, grounding presence of animals.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with both a Bachelor's and a Master’s degree in Social Work (a minor in Criminology) and over seven years of clinical experience supporting individuals across a variety of settings, including private practice, forensic social work, residential programs, telehealth, and community outreach. Throughout my career, I have worked alongside adolescents and adults navigating anxiety, trauma, depression, life transitions, emotional regulation challenges, and relationship stress. I also have experience supporting individuals involved in the legal system, which has deepened my understanding of how stress, environment, and personal history shape behavior and coping.

Hanna’s Healing Hounds & Hooves, LLC was created from my vision of offering therapy that extends beyond the traditional office setting. As a certified equine-assisted psychotherapy provider, I integrate nature-based and somatic approaches to help clients reconnect with their bodies, build emotional awareness, and develop healthier patterns of coping. I feel honored to do this work and to witness the ways people grow when given the right environment, support, and compassion.

Welcome! My name is Jill. I am an LCSW with 20 years of individual and group counseling experience. I have worked with teens and adults in both inpatient and outpatient settings, treating anxiety, depression and a variety of mental health needs. I have specialized training treating sexual disorders, trauma, anger management, and relapse prevention.

I am Stanley Okeyemi, the founder of Brighter Light Behavioral Health Services. I am currently licensed as a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP) in Texas, Connecticut, Florida, Idaho, Iowa, Washington, North Carolina, Nebraska, Virginia and New York. I have been working in the mental health industry for 16 years, but licensed as a PMHNP for four years, with a vast amount of experience and affiliations with over 40 hospitals/clinics combined across the USA

with 15 years of experience in mental health, I lead a muti-clinician practice of caring professionals dedicated to providing personable, compassionate, solution focused, care. My staff and I take pride in providing services through meaningful connection and research driven approaches.

I am a DNP, PMHNP-BC, board-certified nurse practitioner with over 15 years of experience. I want clients to know that I am warm, direct, and genuinely invested in their well‐being. I understand that reaching out for psychiatric care can feel intimidating, so I work hard to create a space where you can speak openly about your thoughts, emotions, and experiences without fear of judgment. I value honesty and collaboration, and I welcome your questions, preferences, and feedback throughout our work together.

Thank you so much for looking at my profile. I'm a Social Worker with over 20 years experience treatment children, adolescents, young adults, parents/caregivers, and adults. I have honored to help my clients travel their individual paths in order to feel better about their worlds. Helping people identity what is stopping them from reaching their goals and breaking down these barriers drives my work.

I've been trained in various treatment options but I know it all comes back to the relationship we build together. As your therapist, I hope to provide you with support, strategies and gentle though direct, feedback and reflection. And most likely there will be some humor thrown in because sometimes the work we will do together needs it!

I have my Master of Social Work from New York University and have worked in Social Services and Behavioral Healthcare for more than 26 years between New York City and Philadelphia. I offer individual therapy to support my clients in their work to live their best lives, whatever that means to them. I have experience working in inpatient psychiatry and outpatient counseling.

I’m a curious soul full of passion, love, and a desire to help others reach their calling in life, and I’m humbled by the many ways I get to walk this out—a devoted follower of Jesus Christ, Pastor, loving wife, and proud paw-mom. In my professional life, I serve as a licensed marriage and family therapist while pursuing a Ph.D. in psychological and counseling services with a focus on biblical counseling at Regent University.

Great to meet you!

As a licensed clinical social worker, I believe prioritizing mental health is key to striving for happiness and stability in life. Seeking help can be one of the hardest parts, so congratulations on taking that step! I’ve been practicing for 24 years and work with people of all ages.
