Jennifer Coleman
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC

Do you feel stuck, or overwhelmed? Or does your child or teen feel this way? Together we can discover the path forward, learning what works best for you as you learn new ways to manage what life brings, and how to avoid unhealthy relationship patterns or pitfalls of the past. I am very experienced in treating anxiety and depression; I also understand how painful events and trauma from the past can hold someone back, and even cause a person to feel held hostage. I have specialized training in helping people recover and heal from trauma, painful events, and complicated grief.

On the outside it seems like you have it all together, but inside it feels like you are falling apart. You’re tired of lacking confidence in yourself and feeling alone in your struggles. You feel guilty about the frustration and overwhelm you feel each day. It’s like you’re the one carrying all the weight. You’ve worked hard for success, but you aren't living the authentic life you hoped for, and you’ve basically resigned yourself to the idea that you may never find the fulfillment in relationships that you’ve found in your career.

When I meet with people, I am told that I am approachable, understanding, and humorous! I know what it's like to be a client and to be asked to pour out my life; therefore, I adapt my therapy sessions to you and allow you to share what you desire! I do what I do to help others as I have been helped, and my goal is to assist you in achieving your goals!! I understand how to incorporate Christianity into your session, though also respect your desire to not include any beliefs whatsoever. I am flexible and understanding.

As humans we are wired for connection and I believe most of our struggles are related to our attempts to fulfill that innate longing. When you experience difficulty in your relationships with others or in understanding your own purpose you can find yourself suffering with depression, anxiety or other issues. I enjoy working with couples, individuals, and families who are struggling with many issues, including depression, anxiety, marital distress, infidelity, divorce, identity conflicts, addiction, and more. My purpose is to help you identify patterns in your life/relationships that are causing distress and create new patterns.

In an empathic and relational counseling environment we are able to unlock the who you were meant to be before the pressures of the world chiseled away at it.

Life can be overwhelming at times, whether you are a stressed out parent dealing with a challenging teen or simply trying to get back on your feet after a difficult situation, don't wait any longer before asking for help.

Becoming a healthy person involves not only an active body and sound mind, but the belief that you are worthy of becoming the best you can be.

MME, MT-BC

In client-centered Music Therapy, the client informs the interaction. Music Therapy works to address what we want to change by combining speech, movement, and body based interventions. This method of treatment works to quickly address the reflexive parts of the brain (where our survival instincts and fight or flight responses live). As a therapist, I'm there to provide support, expertise, and guidance. This type of therapeutic interaction can be especially accessible if talking about an event or identifying something specific is challenging.

Hummingbird Wellness
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, ACHT
Verified
If you are looking for an “out of the box” type of counselor, then I would love to speak with you. Therapy is about meeting you where you are and if that means you need a listening ear as you process something deep, someone to help guide you to the best possible you, or someone who is going to hold you accountable than look no further, because that is exactly what you will get. Therapy is not one size fits all, so I use many different modalities of therapy to help you navigate life’s hills and valleys. I like to bring in my teachings from my Advanced Certified Hypnotherapist training.

Sometimes it's a struggle being a human being, right? Seeking out therapy can be the first step in untangling some of the stuck points we can carry. I believe that individuals and families are the experts of their own lives and it is my role to offer a safe, non-judgmental space to collaborate, process, or challenge previous ways of thinking or acting. I welcome the opportunity to walk with you in overcoming obstacles on your path to wellness.
Kirk Shelton
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Verified
I practice from a Rogerian perspective, which prizes the alliance between counselor and client. I empower clients toward meaningful change by maintaining a powerful space of unconditional acceptance and invitation. I endeavor to place you in the driver's seat, as only you can navigate to the heart of the matter, and that often requires an honest, open context along with someone who cares and is willing to learn from you. Therapy sometimes requires Cognitive-Behavioral techniques, but always communication. You learn and grow as you work to express your experience, and you take that with you.

My clients find it empowering to not just talk about a problem but also to create ways of coping through learning new skills and allowing new perspectives.

I help individuals incorporate their true selves into their relationships. My specialties are sexual problems, issues of sexual identity/orientation, consensual non-monogamy, out of control sexual behavior more commonly known as sex or porn addiction.
Tiffany Guthrie - Trauma & Relationships Counselor
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC
Verified
My life and my relationship are broken. I have to keep it quiet, Christians don’t have these struggles. What does this say about my faith? I am so out of control sometimes; this is not the way it should be … My clinical experience over the last 17 years has given me the opportunity to stand in awe of how God heals individuals and couples, He brings beauty out of the chaos and pain and deepens our understanding of ourselves, each other and most importantly His grace in our lives. I have been told that I help people become butterflies – freed from the constraints of painful learning histories, anxiety, self sabotage and shame.
