NOT ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS—fill out form on DBT website for waitlist. ******Counseling is a highly personal and individual process, and it can be a challenge to find a counselor that you connect with. My style of therapy is very relational, and I will strive to help you grow comfortable with the process while still challenging you to think beyond your current framework or circumstances. I have an eclectic approach: while I focus on being relational, understanding and compassionate, I also approach change practically. Ultimately, you are the expert on your own life; I'm here to try to help you to make your life what you want it to be.

Kristi Atkins
Licensed Professional Counselor, EdS, LPC, CPCS
Verified
I realize people come to counseling for what appears to be a million different reasons, but ultimately people come to counseling because they are in pain. There are times when a loved one is struggling, and a family, couple, or child requires extra support. We all face painful changes in life such as loss or illness, divorce, conflict, addiction, self-worth, and identity issues. There are times when these changes also bring up issues from the past and counseling can help. I want to help you cope well and live according to your values and aspirations. Counseling is about improving your quality of life and instilling hope.

Life can often be difficult and emotions can feel overwhelming. Sometimes it feels like the rug has been pulled out from underneath us. Maybe an important relationship has ended, you have a loved one struggling with substance use or you would like to learn to navigate boundaries in your relationships with family, friends or a partner. Whatever it is that has lead you here, I'm glad you are reaching out. I hope to provide a space to you that honors your story and facilitates personal growth. I believe that each of us deserve to find healing and that includes you. Asking for help can be one of the bravest things we do.

I love what I do. I find it humbling and exciting to join my clients on their therapeutic journey toward health, empowerment and personal transformation. My approach is client-centered, solution focused and strengths based. Often people come to therapy feeling stuck and confused by their circumstances and welcome the opportunity to explore dysfunctional patterns.

My clients report feeling unburdened, more centered, and better equipped to face whatever crisis or challenge they are facing.

Life is full of challenges. Some challenges are easier to tackle and we might even welcome them. Yet, other situations are difficult to manage and we may not be sure how to move forward. As a psychologist, I specialize in helping those with whom I work to make sense of their world and the challenges we often face. I place particular emphasis on how each of us constructs our diverse perspectives and the ways we interact with those around us.

Holly Renee Johnson
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW
Verified
Holly Johnson is a psychotherapist specializing in deep therapeutic healing work. Using her 15 years in the field to grow and evolve her practice, she now uses a highly intuitive, integrative approach for helping people to heal and transform old patterns into healthy life patterns. Why do deeper work? Without knowing, most of us have experienced trauma and negative conditioning in our childhood, and beyond. Usually it goes unrecognized if it does not "qualify" by our learned definition of trauma. Yet our unique patterning from our early experiences will be how we currently relate with the world.

Alex specializes in working with individuals living with and recovering from eating disorders. She works from a body acceptance perspective and believes there is more to us than our physical appearance. Alex understands that an eating disorder has a much deeper root than a preoccupation with food & weight. She stresses not only the importance helping a client create a healthier relationship with food & their bodies but also the need to get to the root of the problem. In addition, Alex has experience working with clients who are struggling with anxiety, depression, body image, relationship concerns, & life transitions.
Lindsey Epperson
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW
Verified
My clients feel alone, disconnected, and wonder when life got so bad. Often, they find relationships to be stressful and unfulfilling, but still crave connection with other people. Sometimes they struggle mightily to stay in control of themselves, their symptoms, and their interactions with others, but wonder why they cannot (and feel guilty for trying to be in control in the first place). Sometimes my clients know that they have a history of trauma and sometimes they just know they feel anxious and want relief. My goal is to build a strong, supportive connection with my clients and get right into the work that is most important.

"Why does anybody tell a story? It does indeed have something to do with faith. Faith that the universe has meaning, that our little human lives are not irrelevant, that what we choose or say or do matters, matters cosmically." L'Engle Join me in telling your story and we'll narrate your current stressors into a more meaningful life. I offer calm and focus as I engage clients and address their issues.
