Have you ever wondered what makes you tick? I am here to carefully explore with you the foundations you have formed in your life and how you have built upon those with family and social inter-connectedness, challenges, stumbles and fumbles, life events, and joyous times to be the survivor you are today. As a professional counselor and one who is compassionate and caring and has life experience, I would like to come alongside you to assist you in your journey to help you get back on your feet again so you can fulfill your needs, dreams, and purpose toward becoming whole.

Life stages and transitions bring with them many joys, challenges and uncertainties. Mental, emotional and spiritual obstacles often leave us stuck or prevent us from fully realizing the joy and peace we desire in life. Are you familiar with feelings of despair, hopelessness, anxiety, confusion and self-doubt among others? Do your children or adolescents struggle in this way? Are you experiencing a difficult time moving forward? My objective in therapy is to validate your experience as an individual, couple or family. Through practical learnings and education, I will work alongside you to provide hope and help toward healing.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I serve individuals and couples.

I also have specialized training in issues of Domestic Violence, Sexual Assault, Depression, Anxiety, PTSD, as well as Borderline Personality Disorder.

Adolescents and young adulthood can be a time of growth and change. It can also be a time filled with feelings of self-doubt and loneliness. You are being faced with challenges that didn't used to exist. Now more than ever adolescents and young adults ages 13 and up are experiencing increasing symptoms of anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and difficulties with relationships. You are not alone and deserve to be heard. Your opinions and feelings matter! You have worth and your voice is valued. If judgment from others didn't exist, what dreams would you reach for? Imagine your life without needing the approval from others!

I am Sondra Kern, a licensed professional counselor (LPC). I have experience working in many different settings with children, teens and adults including: intensive home-based therapy, outpatient therapy, teletherapy, inpatient psychiatric hospitalization, and virtual intensive outpatient therapy for adolescents. My mission is to create a space where individuals can find the confidence to pursue the things they want and not be held back by fear and shame. I believe that everyone deserves access to compassionate, personalized mental health care, and I committed to help.

Feeling anxious, irritable, overwhelmed, or depressed? Sometimes these feelings come and go on their own naturally. Sometimes they become a little more persistent and we need some help moving past them. If you're struggling, you don't have to figure it all out on your own. You can get through this and get back to living the life you want to live.

Welcome! My name is Kennedi Ruhlman, LMSW, PMH-C. I’m glad you are here, the first step of reaching can be the hardest to take. What I have learned from my experience in the mental health field is that we may be able to walk alone in our struggles, but having someone alongside us is empowering. I strive to walk alongside those that I work with, while giving you full credit in knowing that you were able to reach your full potential. Everyone’s experiences are extremely unique, and I value staying open minded and accepting to each individual I encounter.

I am a fully-licensed Clinical Psychologist and a member of the American Psychological Association with over 20 years of experience in my field. I have worked in both inpatient and outpatient mental health settings providing a wide range of psychological services to individuals diverse in age, as well as, ethnicity and lifestyle. For the last 18 years, I have been working in my own private practice serving both children & adults with various mental health, behavioral and/or relationship challenges. I love what I do and consider it a privilege to be entrusted by my clients and their families with their mental health care.

Navigating the challenges of life can easily become overwhelming. Working as a therapist for more than seven years has allowed me to recognize this as a truth for most people. This is why I want to offer my services to help you through whatever it is you may be enduring. I mostly work with adults, individually, on issues such as depression and anxiety, relationship issues, life transitions, defining and strengthening boundaries, finding a healthy balance in life, and identifying potential codependency.

New Pathways founders Jennifer Werries, PhD, LPC, ACS, NCC, EMDR Certified and Thomas Parella, PhD, LPC, and strive to deliver caring, effective treatment in a warm and welcoming environment. Working with a therapist can be a great way to gain new perspectives, explore new options and solutions that may have eluded us, and find ways of getting "unstuck" from situations in which we may have felt helpless. At New Pathways, we view counseling as a collaboration between therapist and client, who work together to understand issues, clarify thoughts and feelings, establish goals, and find ways to achieve a better quality of life.

We don’t always have it together. We often convince ourselves that we have it all together, however we are wounded, stuck, experiencing pain for different reasons. Depression is one issue that shows up and our society is playing a role in this. It’s as if a thief lurks in the depression telling us, “Don’t talk about it.” Isolation comes out of that message robbing us of the lives we were meant to have. Isolation is not where we belong. You don’t have to be stuck even if you don’t know where you are going. This used to be me over the years but, today, I continue to choose to not buy into the lie that I can’t talk about my life.

I use a variety of therapeutic approaches to help individuals with depression, anxiety, and relationship problems and those going through a divorce or struggling with custody issues. I also work with individuals on the autism spectrum.
