About Blackbird Counseling
Blackbird Counseling is a growing telehealth group practice focused on anxiety disorders, trauma-informed care, and neurodivergent-affirming therapy.
The practice operates alongside AnxietyExplained.com, an educational platform designed to help people understand anxiety and nervous system symptoms through clear, evidence-informed resources. Over time, this platform is intended to support public education, build brand authority, and generate organic visibility for the practice.
