COUNSELING

We don’t have to do it all alone.
We were never meant to.
Brene Brown, PhD
Now Hiring Clinical Supervisors and Associated Level Counselors
Hi, I'm Athena, I created this practice because I remember what it felt like to be a new therapist carrying the weight of other people's stories, second-guessing myself, and wishing someone would just see me—not evaluate me, but actually support me. That's why I run my team differently.
This isn't passive, nod-along supervision, it's a warm, compassionate space where you can share your feels, your worries, and your questions that come with the complexities of being a therapist. No judgment. No perfection required. Just real connection as you build confidence and find your own unique expertise and style.


And the most important part: You are never alone
Beyond your one-on-one clinical supervision hours, I offer a weekly optional online video team meeting. This isn't another requirement—it's a soft place to land. Whenever you need clinical consultation, a fresh perspective, or just to be with other helpers who get it. A collaborative circle where we remind each other that we're human too.
We also stay connected throughout the week with a simple team messaging app—a place for daily questions, small wins, vents about tough sessions, or just a "how are you really doing?" This is a group of helpers who help each other. No hierarchy. No ego. Just kindness, curiosity, and a shared commitment to growing as therapists.
If you've been looking for a team that feels more like a hug than a corporate office—you just found it. Welcome to Creating Your Balance.

Beyond clinical technique: education and tools galore
Athena McKee, LPC, C-DBT
Educational, collaborative and supportive
Learning and sharing knowledge is my passion. Team members gain access to evidence-based tools, practices and workbooks to help clients explore what’s under the anxiety, people-pleasing, or burnout—without slipping into advice-giving or staying stuck in the “talking about it” stage.
Info pages and workbooks for therapy methods include IFS, CBT, EMDR, CFT, ACT, DBT, Attachment-focused and nervous system science informed methods to learn vital emotional processing and nervous system regulation skills.
