I focus on creating a safe environment for individuals with anxiety, depression, couples issues and other challenges. Therapy is not something for people who have something wrong with themselves, it's for people who have the courage to recognize that life is challenging and that devoting time to work on ourselves and improve our ability to respond to those challenges is a smart thing to do.

Life can be very overwhelming and sometimes we may feel stuck. Maybe our children are struggling and we're unsure how to help them be more successful. We could feel overburdened by our daily responsibilities that seem to be never-ending. Perhaps we haven't achieved in ways we thought we would have by now. The realization that things aren't working can be our first step towards change. Working with a trusted therapist can often provide us the clarity that helps us move forward. I believe we all have the capacity to achieve higher levels of life satisfaction if we so desire.
Camille Helkowski
Counselor, MEd, NCC, LCPC

As a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, I am humbled and grateful for the many opportunities I have had to work with adults seeking counseling assistance. My experience spans a broad spectrum of issues including relational concerns, grief and loss, healing from trauma and abuse, career counseling, and negotiating "stage of life" transitions. The special counseling needs of "twentysomethings" is a particular area of expertise. By fostering a counseling relationship defined by compassion, guidance and understanding, my clients learn to build on their strengths and make the changes required to clarify and reach their personal and professional goals.

So many of us suffer from feelings of shame, despair, and worthlessness. Never feeling quite "enough," we seek various and sometimes maladaptive ways of dealing with our pain and discomfort. If you are seeking a therapist, there is a good chance you are looking for a new way to make changes and differences in your life.

Samantha Dauber
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW

I strive to use interventions that meet the specific needs of my clients in a safe, comfortable, and nonjudgmental way. I often use a cognitive-behavioral approach (CBT) in psychotherapy as I help my clients adjust and overcome maladaptive thinking patterns and behaviors. I also utilize dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) and other therapeutic modalities as a way of teaching clients important coping techniques to manage their stress and navigate their challenges. My goal is to help my clients learning healthy ways of living and a positive mindset to overcome challenges.

By simply reading this bio and considering therapy you are moving with intention. For whatever purpose you are here. Do not miss an opportunity to recognize this step as progress. These self-directed moves are the combination of actions that ultimately propel you toward the direction you seek. We have been taught to expect that when we employ certain linear, orderly, step-wise or karmic principles that life will reward you. Although this may serve us well under certain conditions. As time unravels, the flaw in this theory becomes evident.

Yakov Danishefsky
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW, CSAT, EMDR

Therapy is the process of coming to live as our best selves. This involves a complex dance of change and acceptance. It's this process that I so appreciate navigating together with my clients. Some people reach out to a therapist because of challenging life-adjustment situations. Others are pushed into therapy by family, friends, or employers when they are in highly distressing situations. Either way, change is possible when we're willing to show up just a little bit.
