Dr. VERNITA MARSH
“Live your life on purpose.” For Dr. Vernita Marsh, this is more than just a philosophy, it describes her life’s path and her vision for the future. From an early age, she knew what she wanted, laid out a plan, and set off to achieve her goal. Helping clients in need, training and supervising up-and-coming therapists, and managing her own business, for Vernita Marsh, this is exactly where she was meant to be.
DEMITRA BARNES, LMFT
One of my favorite quotes is by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.,“You don’t have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step.” Often times we may not have a clear vision of what’s ahead of us and we may not see the end that we desire, but we still have to make a start. As we take one step at a time, each step reveals the next step, no matter how big or how small. This perspective has inspired me on numerous occasions throughout my life, and during the process, I have learned to be kind, patient, and loving to myself, while standing in faith.
TEMEKA BURNETT, LMFT
Temeka is described as a compassionate, dedicated, insightful and thoughtful clinician. She likes to get to the heart of the matter but with gracefulness with her clients. Many of her clients have been enamored by her relatability and her engaging style. More importantly, clients have reported feeling heard and that their healing process was supportive with Temeka in the mix. As a therapist with a wealth of both clinical and worldly experience, Ms. Burnett has had the privilege of working in both community-based and private practice settings. Throughout her career, she has treated individuals, couples, families, teens, and parents navigating through the struggles of caring for children with mental and behavioral challenges. Her clinical experiences presented her opportunities to work with a diverse population, providing insight into various forms of trauma and the profound impact that unresolved issues can have on relationships with others as well as with oneself.
