Hello! My name is Lexy Flash. I'm Clinical Mental Health Counseling Intern on a journey to refine my skills and develop a profound understanding of the complexities of mental health. I am
dedicated to providing compassionate support and guidance to individuals seeking help on their mental health journey. My mission is to create a safe and nurturing space where clients can
explore their emotions, navigate challenges, and discover their inner resilience, especially for BIPOC individuals. This mission is driven by my dedication to social justice and advocacy.

I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Journalism and Public Relations from Georgia State University. I am currently pursuing a Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from DePaul
University, where I am gaining specialized knowledge and hands-on experience to serve my clients better.
My interest in mental health stems from a genuine desire to help others overcome personal obstacles and lead fulfilling lives. I firmly believe the counseling journey is a collaborative effort where the client and therapist work together to achieve positive outcomes.

 

I provide a warm, empathetic, and non-threatening environment, allowing clients to express their feelings openly and honestly. I aim to foster a strong therapeutic alliance built on trust, respect, and mutual
understanding.

Hello! My name is Najah Buck, and I am Clinical Mental Health Counseling Intern currently working on developing skills to advocate for and create lasting, safer spaces to explore mental health. I believe in providing unconditional compassionate and multicultural-informed care in the counseling space to form a collaborative zone where all are welcome. I am passionate about learning about your story from your eyes and providing a compassionate, engaged response coupled with therapeutic resources to assist you with the stages of your journey. 

 

I obtained my Bachelor’s of Science Degree from THE Alabama State University, and I am currently pursuing a Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from DePaul University. Overall, I view counseling from a multidisciplinary, feminist perspective but heavily lean on Narrative Therapy and Mindfulness Approaches. 

​

My interests in mental health stem from a genuine desire to help others coping with trauma, especially in BIPOC and LGBTQ+ communities, understand the power of their stories and their resiliency. I believe therapy is a tool in a multifaceted box that allows people to get one step closer to space, determining who they are, discovering their inner power, and releasing themselves from what hinders them. My goal is to work to create a respectful space where clients of all backgrounds can explore themselves and their challenges and understand and create their own narratives.
