L. Hay
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, MFA, MSW, LCSW
Verified
In my psychotherapy practice with adolescents, men, women and families the focus is typically on issues such as behavioral concerns, depression, anxiety, trauma, PTSD, ADHD and anger. I believe that everyone is entitled to be treated with respect and honesty and that therapy should start where the client is at. Additionally, each client has their own ways of gaining insight and implementing new patterns into their lives and will have their own pace at which they discover the strengths within themselves. I like to work with the client to discover what is most effective for them and go from there.

Hello! I am here to help you with the big T and little t traumas in life. You may be thinking I haven’t experienced trauma, but trauma often has "symptoms instead of memories". Insomnia, low concentration, mistrust, depression, few memories, on edge, anxiety, addiction, chronic pain, intrusive thoughts. I will: help you realize your untapped strengths, build upon them to increase your coping skills, inform you of advances in neurobiology explaining why your nervous system drives you to overreact, and provide you with support. This provides the foundation for healing and integration of new beliefs and behaviors for a brighter future.
Arise Counseling, LLC
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, PMH-C

What lies behind the half-smiles and the obligatory events you attend together? Perhaps you made the kids the singular focus of the family unit in order to justify staying together. Life is to be enjoyed, not simply endured. Living on autopilot because you think there is no other option can be mentally exhausting. As a trained Relationship therapist, I skillfully challenge each partner to recognize their negative cycle and personal baggage. What happens next is one for the books...an aha moment and a desire to break the cycle and start anew.

George R. Kirchner LLC
Counselor, LPC-S, NCC, CDC-S, ABHC
Verified
One day we may download a User's Manual for being human. Until then, therapy can help us navigate the rocky shoals and shed light onto the dark spots while setting ghosts to rest. We are far more capable than we think we are or given credit for. Napoleon Hill is quoted as saying, "What you can conceive and BELIEVE, you can achieve." That works both ways. Therapy can often re-open the doors to choice, frequently help us find our feet, and often move us to look to a bright future and to hear the music of everyday living. It is really hard to run through the woods backwards.

Pain & Suffering are common to life, but personal to you & yours. We live the stories we've had told about us & told ourselves, connected in a web of relationships with both people & ideas. Some of these narratives add to our agency, our freedom of choice, while others pigeonhole us into categories that make it difficult to pursue our preferences. In times of need people turn to those who can best support & advocate for our preferances, over & against overwhelming problems. Most of the time these supports are part of our natural circles,sometimes others are drawn into our Team of Life.

Life can be challenging and painful. Medication and antibiotics may be needed to address significant infected physical wounds. The same process is needed to address infections of the Heart. Medication takes time to work. The healing process takes effort. It doesn’t come easy. There are no quick fixes. The right medications attack the root, which in turn, fixes the symptoms. What are some HEART medications needed to address psychological/emotional infections? Self-awareness, forgiveness, understanding/acceptance, renewal of the mind, purpose, connection and belonging!
