Welcome to Living Hope Counseling, LLC

At Living Hope Counseling, LLC we believe in the power of hope, healing, and restoration.

I would be honored to guide you through this season of your life.

My style is energetic, warm, and humorous. I take a holistic, strength-based perspective, recognizing your unique background and capabilities. I utilize evidence-based approaches including:

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

  • Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

  • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

  • Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)

  • Solution-Focused Brief Therapy

Workshops and Training

In addition to individual counseling, I facilitate Army Strong Bonds training and lead workshops on topics such as self-esteem, boundaries, and communication.

Personal Connection

Having navigated my own challenges, I understand the fear and uncertainty that can accompany life’s transitions. I have witnessed how a strong support system can empower individuals to embrace new seasons with hope and resilience.

I look forward to the opportunity to meet you and support your journey toward healing and growth. For more information about my services, please explore the website or contact me directly.

“I can recommend Dr. Blyden very highly. Her calm, steady, consistent style is exactly what I needed to be able to examine my life more deeply. I have a much better understanding of the person who I am and am more confident in displaying that person in my relationships and, more generally, in how I live my life. Thank you, Dr B, for everything you have done for me."
