Tiera graduated from Walden University with her Masters of Science in Marriage, Family, and Couple Counseling. Her focus is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), but she is open to other theories to find what best fits her clients and their needs. In CBT we would focus on understanding your thoughts and behaviors, and then process what can be done to challenge those negative thoughts and behaviors to become more positive.
Tiera believes: Life is going to do what life is going to do. The way you approach life challenges is all up to you. There comes a time when we all need someone to listen to us and hear what we have to say. She desires to be that someone for you. She offers a safe, non-judgmental environment to establish a trusting and compassionate relationship with her clients. One where you feel comfortable enough to be open and honest with her and more importantly, with yourself. Tiera would love the opportunity to help you work through life’s challenges and develop a positive mindset and boost your outlook on life!

Robyn Aug has a Bachelors of Science in Psychology from Excelsior University and she is currently completing her Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Grand Canyon University. As an intern at Imani Behavioral Health, Robyn is working toward fulfilling the clinical experience requirement to earn licensure as an Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) upon graduating from her master’s program in October 2024. Over the past ten years, Robyn has filled many leadership positions that compliment her passion for helping others achieve a greater balance of health and wellness within their life. As a U.S. Army veteran, Robyn has extensive experience working with people from diverse geographic and cultural backgrounds. Robyn not only understands the significant role diversity plays in shaping one’s life, experiences, and worldview, but she acknowledges and attends to this role by celebrating and embracing her client’s diversity as an integral part of the counseling process.
Robyn enjoys working with clients of all ages, genders, sexual orientations, spiritual, and cultural backgrounds. Her approach to counseling is rooted in a person-centered approach, emphasizing the uniqueness of each client’s experience in counseling. This approach prioritizes the client and their needs, while also considering their unique cultural background, values, and beliefs. A core tenant of this theory is meeting the client where they are at and creating a safe and welcoming environment to feel supported and heard. Guided by this theoretical framework, Robyn utilizes and incorporates different skills, techniques, and treatment interventions that are best suited for the client and their unique set of needs.
Robyn is passionate about empowering her clients and is dedicated to working alongside them, helping them to navigate and overcome the challenges and/or questions that brought them into counseling. Robyn believes therapy is much is like taking a road trip. Her role in the therapeutic process is similar to a GPS or navigation system. You, as the client, decide where you want to go (your goals or reasons for coming to counseling) and Robyn, as the counselor, will pull all the different possible routes (strategies and techniques) to help get you there. Ultimately, the format of the trip (pace and direction of counseling) is up to you. However, by working together, Robyn is committed to supporting you and helping guide you on your journey toward your final destination— whatever that may be for you.

Since Jared was a youth, he was told that he was a great listener. He coupled that with his love for helping others. It provided Jared with an intrinsic uplift. He also wanted to gain a better understanding of why people do what they do. Therefore, he felt like psychology/counseling would be a great field for him.
With years of education and experience, he meets the needs of his clients by meeting them where they are cognitively and emotionally. He utilizes more of a client centered approach because they lead the therapeutic session. Jared views himself as a guide in helping them to achieve their goals.
Fun Fact: Jared is a fan of the Dallas Cowboys.
