E.T. Townsend

E.T. Townsend

Therapist

Virtual • Kalamazoo, IL


I offer support and skills to those exploring identity, intimacy, or relational complexity—whether in gender, sexuality, kink, or deocolonized relationships. They may be sitting with grief, unraveling the impact of trauma, or feeling the weight of past experiences in their body. They long for connection but struggle with vulnerability, trust, or belonging. Some feel stuck in cycles of overwhelm, while others are questioning the stories they’ve been told about who they are. They seek a space where they can be seen without judgment, process their experiences, and make sense of the systems shaping their lives.

Therapist

Virtual • Illinois


Hi my name Larry. I believe every person has the ability to live the life they truly desire if they are willing to embrace values of self-compassion, honesty, self-determination and self-appreciation. I have eight years of experience in the mental health support field and work with teens, young adults, and adults. I show up as someone who steps into your world, not the other way around. In our sessions, you won't need a filter. There's no judgment, no apology required, just a real and welcoming space where all of you belongs. I use language that actually makes sense to you, so growth feels authentic and sustainable, not forced or fake. I believe every person has the ability to live the life they truly desire when they're willing to embrace self-compassion, honesty, and self-determination.The life you desire is only a choice away.

Ylonda Ware

Therapist

Virtual • Illinois


My commitment to therapy isn't just professional — it's deeply personal. With fifteen years of hands-on experience, I've navigated my own life journey and know firsthand what it means to search for purpose, confront unresolved barriers, and actively fight for inner healing. That lived experience is the fuel behind everything I do.

I am lively, warm, and I truly never meet a stranger. I welcome everyone with open arms and bring an uplifting, hopeful energy to every session — while also being the kind of counselor who will sit with you safely in your pain with a deeply empathetic heart. I am fiercely loyal and dedicated to your long-term growth and victory.

I work with faith-based individuals and spiritual seekers, adults in transition, adolescents and young adults, couples, and those navigating trauma, addiction, and recovery.
