Renee May
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW-C, LCPAT
Verified
There are times when we outgrow our current coping skills and need to refocus our energy and will. Balancing our ways we survive is key by using different strategies and techniques that are carved out for each one of us. Being an art therapist and a clinical social worker, I believe that in my work with
children
, adolescents, and adults a way exists in finding the best self that is somewhere within themselves. Using cognitive behavioral therapy with a client-centered focus, I can join with and provide an outlet for clients to share experiences and work together to foster an improved sense of self and well-being.

Theresa Shank
Psychologist, PhD
Verified
As a fellow parent, I understand that there is no greater pleasure than to see your
child
happy and healthy. But excessive worrying, relentlessly demanding OCD rituals, the fear of vomiting, social anxiety, and self-harming behaviors like hair pulling and skin picking can rip away the joy of childhood and bring anguish to the family. I am a warm, compassionate, and very active cognitive-behavioral therapist with many years of success in helping
children
and teens recover from these challenges. I work as a team with parents, including them in at least part of every session.
Brooke Barrett
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LMSW
Verified
I've been a social worker for over eight years starting in
child
welfare and juvenile detention in my home State of Michigan.
It's so hard to ask for help. So many of us think to ourselves "I don't know what is wrong with me," "What if 'this' happens?" or "I just want to feel 'normal'". My areas of focus include trauma, anxiety, depression, adolescents, prenatal, grief and loss. When it comes to our body and mind we are hardest on ourselves. I believe that the mind and body are extraordinarily resilient and capable of recovering from trauma, anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, and more.

Brian J Cunningham
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW-C
Verified
I assist
children
, adults, and families in gaining an understanding of how trauma and daily stress may manifest in typical presentations such as anxiety, depression, and behavioral challenges.
Managing the stressors that life throws at us can be challenging! The path through life is rarely smooth, and we all navigate the terrain in our own, unique ways. Often, we have the tools to manage the obstacles on our own; other times, that path is wide enough to allow support from others as we move forward. Still other times, we can’t even find the path! I strive to promote an environment in which clients feel safe to share experiences at their own pace and without judgment. I believe that a genuine approach, supported by evidenced-based treatment models, cultivates the rapport necessary to promote positive change.

David Kellner
Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, MDiv, MA, LCPC
Verified
I work with
children
, adolescents and adults to discover opportunities to bring together the broken pieces to achieve a new wholeness and life.
Henri Nouwen says, "real care means the willingness to help each other in making our brokenness into the gateway to joy." Perhaps it is the broken pieces of your life that have brought you to this page - broken relationships, broken dreams or just feeling broken. In this you are not alone, but it is my firm conviction that the broken pieces that are strewn about you can become the very material needed in creating wholeness and peace.

W. R. Nay
Psychologist, PhD
Verified
Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) believes that how you think determines how you feel and act when a situation with your spouse,
child
, friend or co-worker arises.
I am a professor (University of Illinois, currently: Georgetown Medical School) and in private practice. As a teacher of tools, skills and strategies, my clients quickly learn new, more effective behaviors to reduce discomfort and be more successful. My approach is not so much placing a label on people but in offering ideas for what they can DO NOW and in the future to learn and implement new successful behaviors. I enjoy working with mood, anxiety, anger and behavioral problems for all the ages. My approach is pragmatic, behavioral and usually is short-term to achieve well-defined results.
