MEET BOTH COUNSELORS
A mother-daughter team, here for you
Between us, we work with teens, adults, couples, and families, bringing both extensive experience and specialized training to the work we do. Mia works with our teenage clients, while much of our work with adults, couples, and families overlaps.
From there, choosing the right therapist is less about fitting into a category and more about finding the person who feels like the right fit for you. We’re always happy to help you make that decision with care.

“I work with people who are capable, self-aware, and quietly worn out. Anxiety, burnout, adult ADHD, marriage strain, and the particular exhaustion of being the steady one in every room. I’ve spent years in the counseling chair and years in leadership, and I understand how both kinds of pressure work.”
Mia Pankratov, LPCC
Teens · Young Adults · Families
“I work with teenagers and young adults, and with the parents trying to figure out how to help them. ADHD, anxiety, self-esteem, identity, and the questions that come with being adopted. I sat in a counseling office as a teenager myself. I know what it’s like on that side of the room.”
Most people come to us at the point where "fine" stops working
For a parent, that might be the third fight this week about homework. Or a teen who used to talk and doesn’t anymore. Or a gut feeling that something shifted and you can’t name when.
For an adult, it might be anxiety that arrives at four in the morning. A marriage that runs on logistics. Work that feels more like a job than something meaningful. Or the slow flattening that comes from carrying everything without help.
Nothing has to be a crisis for it to be worth talking about. Most of what we see isn’t.
Left alone, “fine” usually doesn’t get better on its own — it just gets quieter, and quieter isn’t the same thing as okay. That’s the moment we’re here for.
Ways we can work together
Different people, different seasons, different needs. The tone stays the same throughout: grounded, intentional, and respectful of what you’re actually carrying.

Values and faith, handled with care

Why this work feels different
With Jo
I bring clinical depth, leadership experience, and a faith-grounded perspective. I understand power, pressure, ambition, family systems, and what it costs to be the person everyone else leans on. I’ll listen carefully, tell you the truth, and challenge what needs challenging. We’ll also probably laugh together. The work can be deeply meaningful without always feeling heavy.
With Mia
My own teenage years were challenging, and I remember what it felt like to struggle with things I didn’t yet have the words to explain. I was adopted from China and raised in a family that looks nothing like me. I attended a Christian school, and I spent lots of time in counseling myself.
Those experiences shape the way I work with teens today. I don’t expect your teen to perform being okay, and I won’t treat them like a problem to be fixed. I want them to have a place where they feel genuinely heard, understood, and safe enough to begin figuring out what they need.
"My teen daughter worked with Mia during a very challenging time. I remember the calm and relief she felt after sessions. She felt seen by Mia, a very unique therapist who supported my daughter without locking us out as her family."
"I am extremely grateful that the Lord paired my husband and I with Jo. We have been navigating a difficult season on many levels and she has stuck with us and continues to help us through it all! We are so blessed to have Jo in our lives!"
"I was ready to find healing, but I knew that I didn’t have the tools to do it alone. Jo was an immediate safe and trusted space for me. She listened, asked me the tough questions, and encouraged me in healing and becoming who God called me to be."
"Jo Leda is a leader of uncommon wisdom and ability. She brings clarity to complex situations, speaks the truth with care, and does so in a way that is both deeply thoughtful and deeply human. She is someone whose counsel is sought not for easy answers, but for honest ones — grounded in discernment, integrity, and a genuine concern for the person in front of her."
