Our Story

A Labor of Love, Born From Lived Experience

Miles Ahead Counseling Services, PLLC was created from a deeply personal journey through perinatal mood disorder and postpartum depression. What began as a season of struggle became a powerful awakening—one that revealed the strength found in seeking help, healing openly, and breaking the silence many women carry.

Through her own experience, our clinician discovered not only resilience, but a calling. She realized countless women were quietly battling similar challenges behind closed doors, unsure of where to turn or what steps to take next.

Miles Ahead Counseling Services was built to change that narrative.

Here, every woman is welcomed with compassion, understanding, and support. This practice exists to provide a judgment-free space where mothers can share their stories—one step, one moment, and one mile at a time.

A Safe Space for Every Mother’s Journey

Motherhood is transformative, emotional, and deeply personal. Yet far too many women feel alone in their experiences with anxiety, depression, identity shifts, or unexpected emotional changes.

Our purpose is to ensure they no longer walk that road by themselves.

At Miles Ahead Counseling Services, we are committed to providing maternal mental health care that is:

Here, your story has space. Your emotions matter. Your healing is honored.

Meet the Therapist

With over 12 years of experience in mental health, Latelma brings clinical expertise paired with heartfelt understanding. Her passion for supporting mothers began with her own journey through a perinatal mood disorder and postpartum depression—experiences that shaped her purpose and strengthened her commitment to maternal mental health.

During her own recovery, Latelma discovered she wasn’t alone. Conversations with friends and community members revealed a shared truth: many mothers were silently struggling inside their homes, overwhelmed by emotions they didn’t expect and unsure where to find support.

That realization became her calling.

Through Miles Ahead Counseling Services, Latelma has created a safe and supportive space where mothers can share their experiences without judgment, rediscover their strength, receive compassionate guidance, and feel truly seen and heard.
