Getting to know Markita Couch

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who works with children (ages 8-12) and young adults ages (18-35) that are navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, stress, self esteem concerns, and life transitions. I am passionate about creating a genuine, nonjudgmental, and trauma-informed space where clients can show up as they are, without pressure to have everything figured out. My approach is both supportive and direct, as I meet clients where they are while also helping them move forward in ways that feel realistic and meaningful. I believe therapy should be both empowering and collaborative. I work alongside clients to build emotional regulation skills, increase self-awareness, and challenge patterns that may be keeping them stuck. By balancing compassion with honesty, I help clients better understand the roots of their experiences while also developing practical tools for change. My goal is to support individuals who may feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or uncertain about their next steps by helping them navigate both past and present challenges. I strive to create an authentic therapeutic relationship where clients feel seen, supported, and understood while gaining the confidence to make positive, lasting changes in their lives.
