WHO WE ARE

At New Seasons Counseling, Training & Consulting, LLC, we believe effective mental health care must honor culture, history, and lived experiences. Founded by Dr. LaVerne Hanes Collins, a nationally recognized counselor, trainer, and author, our mission is to equip mental health professionals with cultural intelligence and practical tools to create meaningful, inclusive, and healing spaces.

WHAT WE DO

CE-Approved Trainings for Counselors & Clinicians
Expand your expertise with continuing education that integrates cultural responsiveness, trauma-informed care, and decolonized therapy practices.

Consulting for Organizations and Groups

We help provider organizations, agencies, nonprofits, churches, and educational institutions build equity-driven mental health practices.

Counseling Services

Compassionate, culturally aware counseling to support individuals navigating trauma, grief, and life transitions.

WHY IT MATTERS

 Mainstream approaches often overlook cultural context. Our work bridges that gap—empowering counselors, organizations, and communities to see clearly, act justly, and heal deeply.
