Introduction

Hi, I'm Ay'Anna Mills, a Licensed Professional Counselor and the founder of Building Bonds Counseling. I'm known to many of my clients as "the rapport building therapist" — and that's not just a tagline, it's how I practice. Before we can do any real work together, I believe you need to feel safe, heard, and understood. So my first priority with every client is building that connection. I meet clients exactly where they are — no judgment, no pressure to "have it all figured out" before you walk in the door (or log on, if we're meeting via telehealth). Whether you're navigating individual struggles, working through challenges with a partner, healing family relationships, or finding your footing in co-parenting after a separation, I tailor our work to fit your story, your pace, and your goals. Therapy isn't just my job — it's my passion. I love what I do, and it shows in how I show up for my clients: present, warm, and genuinely invested in your growth. If you're looking for a therapist who will take the time to truly know you and walk alongside you, I'd love to be that person for you. I offer individual, couples, family, and co-parenting counseling, available in person and via telehealth.
