Therapy For the Whole You
Supporting Your Well-Being, Relationships, and Intimacy
People and relationships are complex, and they change over time. At Bellwether Counseling, we see you as a whole person: your relationships, your work, your health, your intimacy, and everything that shapes your life. Our focus is on helping you grow and thrive, not on what’s “wrong” with you.
Our team works with adults at every stage of life, individually and in relationships. We also welcome the conversations many people hesitate to have. Sex and intimacy are a normal part of life, yet many therapists aren’t trained to address them. Our team includes clinicians who specialize in exactly that, offering warmth, openness, and evidence-based care.
Whatever you bring, you can bring all of it here.

How Dr. Staats Cultivates A Community of Caregiving
Dr. Staats has earned her reputation as a leader in the mental health community through service and educating others. She has extensive training on integrating sexuality into counseling and has researched the importance of addressing sexuality in therapy. Treating the whole person or couple is what Dr. Staats strives to do. She teaches this to her students and colleagues. In the spirit of “lift as you climb,” Dr. Staats regularly coaches and encourages emerging professionals to become adept in addressing sex and sexuality and donates her time to local community mental health clinics. Dr. Staats is also the founder and lead instructor at TalkSex Institute and has helped hundreds of counselors learn the basics and increase their comfort in tackling sex and sexuality therapeutically.
