Welcome to Brave Counseling & Wellness, where your journey to personal growth and wellbeing begins. Taking the first step towards therapy can be both empowering and daunting.

Begin by filling out our detailed Consultation Form. This helps us understand your unique needs and match you with the right services and provider.
After receiving your Consultation Form, we'll reach out to you. During this call, you'll have a chance to share any additional information and ask questions. For counseling or ADHD coaching appointments, we'll schedule your intake session right away. For psychiatry appointments, Dr. Kingston will personally reach out to coordinate with you.
