About The Team

Ashanti Belle, LMHC, EdS, MA

I am the founder and owner of Believe and Inspire Counseling. My mission is to help you heal. When you start to believe, we manifest inspiration which lead to healing. I want you to leave your session feeling better but most of all with clarity. My priority is your overall wellbeing and mindfulness.

 After working within the field of mental health for over ten years as well as child welfare, I recognized that healing and conquering one’s pain and trauma should be a service offered to all despite many different circumstances. Here at Believe and Inspire, we do just that. We work to provide quality care services no matter what barriers are presented.
