Le’Keisha is eclectic and uses a blend of Cognitive Behavioral, Motivational Interviewing, Solution Focused, Reality Based, and Psycho-education. A holistic approach is utilized by exploring with and educating clients about how mind and body are interconnected. Le’Keisha believes that when a person has hope and can learn to challenge and replace irrational thoughts, beliefs, and attitudes, people are free to experience change. Exploring, acknowledging, and coping with past traumas of childhood tragedies are profound when attempting to treat mental health and substance use disorders.

Recovering from trauma is the most inspiring and difficult things one can do in their lifetime. I am a believer that post traumatic growth is possible in all people. I utilize an eclectic approach pulling from a base of radical feminism utilizing approaches from DBT, somatic experiencing, and mindfulness and acceptance based approaches. I firmly believe that everyone has the tools within them to heal and grow and my primary job as therapist is to provide a safe non-judgmental setting for you to discover your healed self.

**I am not currently taking patients right now.** My professional strengths include flexibility, sensitivity, and a non-dogmatic approach to peoples' issues. I work with clients where they are, seeing each person as unique.

Life has a way of throwing obstacles (trauma, depression, anxiety, addictions, etc.) in your path and for some reason we feel the need to control these obstacles. Guess what, encountering obstacles in life doesn't make you weak or a bad person - it makes you human. Regardless of the situation or circumstances, everyone has the capacity to get through life's difficulties. If you allow me to take this journey with you, I'll help you channel your resources, build off your number one strength (yourself) and help you transition from attempting to control problems to finding balance by learning how to manage them instead.

Hi there, I'm Nicole! I strive to create a space where you can unwind, unload and refuel. I teach you how to find beauty in the mud. My goal is to teach you to replace BALANCE with HARMONY. The goal is to curate a life by your design; one that allows for you to be the main focus. My clients often say I ask the tough questions and I hit the nail on the head. I listen intently to your story. I am fully engaged and care about your well-being. I want each of us to impact our corner of the world greatly. Therapy is hard but it's doable. It's about trusting the process and less chasing an outcome.

I believe there is an optimizing force in each of us that guides unfolding and that my role is to help you release blocks to this natural process. My work is grounded in inquiry and exploration. I will meet you where your questions, heart-longings, and pain reside. My extensive background in addictions, codependency and recovery and in co-occurring issues including depression, anxiety and trauma, has taught me about resiliency of the human spirit. I will help you access both inner and outer resources. Through the therapy process we will not only discover, but refine tools unique for you.

It is a great honor to witness people's return to their unique expression of wholeness. The essence of my work lies in meeting you with an attitude of heartful curiosity so that you may safely explore stressors and renegotiate traumas. I utilize integrative body-based modalities incorporating latest discoveries and research in mind-body psychology that do not require reliving intense emotions or detailing painful memories. We will work to discover new resources and truths so that you may experience a newfound sense of well-being and trust in the unfolding process of your life's journey.

Life’s challenges may cause us to react and respond in many different ways. Our current situation may or may not be in our immediate control, but when we look at our life, long-term, it will be the decisions that we make today that set the course of the overall outcome. Experiencing depression, anxiety, grief, confusion, and frustration (to name a few) may be a part of that journey, but you do not have to go down that road alone. It's important to have a safe and confidential space to work through challenges, become more resilient, and come out on the other side with confidence and skills to manage the situations you face.

Hello, my name is Amy Dent, and I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW). While I have almost a decade of experience in the field of social work, the last 3 years have been focused on providing substance abuse counseling to clients as well as addressing mental health diagnoses such as generalized anxiety disorder, major depressive disorder, and PTSD, just to name a few. Therapy sessions include learning skills such as managing anxiety and panic attacks, practicing self-care, developing healthy coping skills, and practicing mindfulness and relaxation techniques.

I believe that treatment should focus on making peoples' lives better, on improving their relationships, on helping them understand who they are, and on making sure that progress and healing continues long after treatment ends. I have more than twenty years of experience working with children, adolescents, families, and adults, in outpatient and inpatient settings, and in homes throughout the state.

I offer both individual and couples counseling to adults of all ages, also teaching mindfulness meditation when desired. In addition to ameliorating symptoms, decreasing emotional pain, and helping to solve difficult problems, therapy and meditation can facilitate significant personal growth and increased wellness. My approach is broadly humanistic, meaning we seek together in a safe and secure environment, mutual understanding of you as a whole person, honing your internal "voice" and tapping into your existing strengths. Once we identify who you really are and what is most important to you, the path to bringing your life into alignment becomes clearer.

As a Clinical Medical Support Hypnotherapist, I guide my clients to tap into their own internal resources and make the important and lasting changes they want to see in their lives. I help them to find freedom from physical pain and discomfort, sleep disturbance, chronic stress and anxiety, excessive worry, fears and phobias, as well as unwanted emotions, habits and behaviors. My goal is to provide guidance, education and coaching to restore optimal physical health and emotional well being.

I'm ready to work if you are! I am willing to commit to your therapeutic process and be a supportive sounding board. I believe in providing a safe and compassionate environment where you can be free to explore your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to combat ongoing suffering. The goal is for you to become confident in yourself and your decision making skills, while developing balance and the ability to manage life stressors.

If you’ve been struggling, don’t let things continue without making some changes. You strive to do great work and care for your loved ones, but right now you’re drowning in stress so it’s time to refocus on your own healing and growth too. You’ve been feeling unfulfilled, stressed out, and tired. You're losing sight of the deeper purpose for your life and there’s a spiritual or creative drive that's going unfulfilled. When you're joyful and healthy, you can serve the world more effectively. Self-care and emotional resilience are essential to good health. This is a call for you to help yourself through this difficult time.

I am a contemplative psychotherapist and mindfulness meditation teacher, using mindfulness in the treatment of anxiety and depression and in improving relationships, focus and overall health. My hope is that my work as a therapist makes the therapeutic process easy and accessible to many different kinds of people. I enjoy working with adolescents and adults struggling with anxiety, depression and relationship issues. I have a special interest in working with adolescent girls and with couples and families.

At times, life can throw us major curveballs, and these struggles, no matter the size, can leave us feeling a whirlwind of emotions. Sharing these burdens can help alleviate some of the weight, making it possible to see other views and change for the better. With whatever difficulty you are currently facing, my aim is to provide a supportive, nonjudgmental, and safe space in order to help you gain insight, problem-solve, and make positive steps toward change. I hope to help you feel empowered over your difficulties so that you can achieve an improved quality of life.

If you are serious about getting better and improving the quality of your life by reducing symptoms of anxiety and depression, panic, sleep problems or any symptom interfering with living and enjoying life, contact my office and allow me to help you. With extensive training in the treatment of all types of trauma, my focus is to help you reduce the pain and suffering it causes. I take my responsibility to you and your difficulties seriously with the sole purpose of improving your ability to enjoy your life.

As a music therapist, I address many goals typically addressed in traditional talk therapy, such as learning how to deal with difficult emotions, use new coping skills, and connect with others in order to live a healthier, more fulfilling life. Although talking is a big part of music therapy, music allows me to create an experience rather than a purely cognitive discussion. This can be a powerful path to healing. It doesn't matter if you have never played music before in your life. The music is my job -- your job is just to show up and be open to the experience. Your openness may be the best indicator of a good match with me.
