Kelly Drye
Counselor, LAC, MS, EdS
Verified
I am a licensed therapist trained in Brainspotting Phases 1 and 2 and Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Although I am trauma-informed, I work in several other areas as well. Two of my core beliefs when it comes to therapy is that all people have the ability to change if they want to and all people could benefit from personal growth. My ultimate goal is to help people reach the best version of themselves. Life can be overwhelming and can leave you carrying a heavy weight. Counseling can help lighten that weight and build internal strength for the future.

Most of us struggle with depression, anxiety, or improving our relationships from time to time. But maybe you aren’t sure that’s you because you manage to carry on as usual as far as anyone else can see; it just doesn’t feel right. It’s too uncomfortable, empty, or numb. You feel guilty or hopeless; irritable or restless. Easy tasks have become impossible. Relationships, including work or parenting, leave you isolated, disappointed, or frustrated. Depression doesn’t always look like sadness and tears; Anxiety doesn’t always feel like worry or fear; and Relationships can be challenging even at the best of times.
Gregory Davis
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
Verified
Sick and tired of being sick and tired? Most people want to change, but don't know what steps to take. "Be transformed through the renewing of your mind." I believe that most people make choices based on their emotions. What happens when these emotions don't reflect the reality of your circumstances? The idea is, to change how you feel you must first change how you think. I love working with individuals who are motivated to change how they see themselves and the world around them.

Joi works in collaboration with clients’ to help them get unstuck and process the experiences that are blocking their personal success and peace.
Lee Ellis
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW
Verified
Not taking new clients. I often describe myself as an "outside the box" therapist because I combine traditional psychotherapy with energy psychology. This is the fastest way I know to help people experience the changes they are seeking. With the interventions I use, it is possible to clear subconscious blocks that keep you from creating the life you want. You do not have to be in therapy for the rest of your life, nor do you have to re-live difficult experiences and trauma in order to heal.
Wellspring Renewal Center

To that one soul reading this, I know you're tired. You're fed up. You're so close to breaking, but there's hope and strength within you. You deserve a happier, healthier life, and you can have it. I have years of experience and success helping my clients break out of unhealthy patterns to feel more empowered and strong. I provide empathy, compassion, and offer a supportive, safe, judgement free environment where all are welcome. I am skilled in, and use a variety of evidence based treatment modalities to tailor each client's care individually.
Jenni Kay Long
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, CYT, LCSW, ADS, EMDR
Verified
From the moment we are born, our relational experiences with family, community, and nature become intimately intertwined with our physical and psychological development. Sometimes, in childhood or adulthood, life and relationships get messy and we come out of balance. I love walking alongside people who are recovering from the complexities of trauma and attachment wounds. In sessions, we explore and work to strengthen internal relationships among parts of self and then organically bring that healing and compassion outwards to help make everyday life a bit more fulfilling and in alignment with your sense of authenticity.
Lakia Aytch
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW
Verified
Are you ready to work toward improving your social or relational functioning, explore your thoughts and feelings and improve awareness of the strengths you already possess? If you are, I would love to work with you to start building on those areas. Therapy is not a one size fits all; together we will find the path by focusing treatment to your needs and by using the modalities that you fit best.
Melissa F. Jackson
Psychologist, MS, PhD
Verified
There are challenges, but as in the past, the bond within our community will help us overcome today's challenges. You may be feeling anxious about your career, workplace discrimination, relationships, or adapting to college. Many feel comfortable working on challenges with someone more likely to identify with their struggles. As a licensed psychologist for over 17 years, I have worked with teens, college students, and adults on a variety of issues. I utilize Teletherapy, which has been researched extensively and is an effective form of treatment.
Joan Shepard

Most of my career has been in community mental health so I have had experience with most diagnostic categories. In recent years I have focused my training on trauma and some of the body based therapies.
Juliana M Bennett

I enjoy working with individuals and families of all ages and stages of life. Every person has a purpose and I strive to support others in pursuing their purpose while improving the quality of their life and relationships. I believe that my purpose is to serve God and people through mental health therapy. To me, relationships and human connection are at the heart of therapy and are fundamental to personal growth and stability.

Gerald Dwayne Webb
Counselor, MA, LPC
Verified
One of the most powerful forces on earth comes from our relationships. Relationships provide a way for us to connect with others physically, emotionally, and spiritually. When our relationships suffer, we we are often deprived of the powerful force of human connection. Finding our way back to relationships and the connection they provide may seem difficult. Counseling provides a therapeutic relationship of human connection to build a bridge back to the relationships that are most meaningful for us. Stepping into something new like counseling when our relationships are broken can feel overwhelming.
Mellany Flynn
Psychologist, PsyD, LCP
Verified
I am a generalist practitioner, but the clients I treat often struggle with anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship issues. Trauma is also a significant issue for many clients seeking therapy services, although it is not uncommon for them to be unaware of how much their past experiences have influenced their present behaviors and beliefs.
Heather D Hallum
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Verified
(As of September 1st, 2021, I will not be able to take new clients due to going on maternity leave-I am sorry for any inconvenience) I love to work with anyone who feels they need some hope in their situation. I came into this field to merely help others and be there for all, no matter their situation, gender, ethnicity, race, or sexual orientation. I treat many issues based on the DSM-V. Most commonly are depression, anxiety, relational issues, marriage concerns/issues, bipolar, self esteem issues, among many more.
Twila S Owens

When facing trauma, anxiety, depression, life can feel pretty hard. There are probably times when you feel like the trauma is happening all over again or that your fears about what might happen paralyze you from making any decision, or it could be that depressive symptoms are making you feel sluggish, indecisive, and wanting to give up. I have compassion, understanding, experience, training, and skills to work with you to heal from trauma, manage anxiety symptoms, and feel good about your life. I promote healthy, positive thinking to improve emotional health, journey with you through trauma, and tools to cope and thrive.
Shambrhee Burton
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW
Verified
Do you feel like no one gets you and you are misunderstood? Are you struggling with the many challenges of life? Are you beyond overwhelmed and ready for a change? Have you found yourself reading self-help books and trying new techniques to no avail?
Christa Lawrence
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW
Verified
Life can be challenging, overwhelming and, at times, just plain difficult! The good news is, it doesn't have to be- and you don't have to face these challenges alone. My approach is to offer compassionate support in a non-judgmental and empowering environment in which you or your child are the expert on your experiences. The goal of therapy is to empower you or your child to navigate life events, reduce stress and experience personal growth, as well as increase feelings of self worth and satisfaction with relationships.
David A. Ruble
LPE-I
Verified
Counseling isn’t simply a matter of somebody asking questions & giving advice, but rather learning the skills necessary to make sense of life and building the confidence to take care of ourselves. When we develop and consistently use these skills, we see our work and home life improve. We become more relaxed and comfortable within ourselves and able to meaningfully share our life with those we care about. I help people learn how to become the best version of themselves.
