You deserve to be treated with an individualized treatment plan designed specifically for you, in a therapeutic process tailored to fit your needs. My top priority is to ensure that the process is as safe, confidential, and as comfortable as it needs to be for you, even if that means referring you to someone else who could better aide you in your journey. Processing trauma, healing, and recovery can be difficult. I know the personal journey of healing and recovery myself.
Counseling with Kelli LLC
Counselor, LPC, CSAT

I specialize in treating clients who are struggling with multiple addictions, mood regulation, trauma, behavioral, and relational issues. Many of my clients report struggling with trying to fill a void, feeling lost, or stuck. This may show up as some sort of unhealthy coping mechanism such as an addiction, unhealthy relationships, or a behavioral issue. Only temporary relief may be found until the true underlying issues are addressed. This is where I come in. Together we can uncover what is underneath your struggles and address what we find.

Rachel Minton
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, SEP
Verified
People come into counseling for many reasons. You may be overcome with insecurity, paralyzed with anxiety, or chronically depressed. Perhaps your relationships are a mess, your life feels out of control. You cut yourself to feel something other than emptiness, you drink to numb your pain. Life doesn't have to be this hard. There is hope and you can heal. You already have everything inside of you that you need in order to heal but somehow you have lost track of this truth. Life has led you away from your innate ability to heal. Counseling can help you reconnect with this ability and restore balance and peace to your life.
Patti Davis
Drug & Alcohol Counselor, MAPC, LISAC

Mind Body Spirit Psychology - My philosophy is based on a Holistic approach - built upon the belief that our mind, body and spirit all interact to create our vitality, passion and purpose. To heal one part, we must acknowledge all three. Through counseling, you can overcome life's challenges, survive difficult events, and experience a vital, joyful, productive life. I believe that it is vital to obtain balance physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually in order to create the desired change. This whole body change creates a better chance at good mental health.

Andrew Lawson
Marriage & Family Therapist, LMFT, LISAC
Verified
Throughout our life journey we are met with numerous personal, family, and relationship challenges. Finding someone in whom we can trust during our most vulnerable life struggles can be particularly challenging. When we become overwhelmed by adversity we can begin to feel discouraged, alone, and hopeless. Often by the time we reach out for professional help we may have reached a point of despair. Sometimes negative choices we have made, or the abusive behavior of others, has placed us at risk for harm. In our most challenging moments we want someone who is there to listen from a place of compassion and non-judgment.
