Lucy Zee
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, MSW, LCSW
Verified
You love and cherish your child or teenager. And, you work hard to provide for their physical/emotional well-being because happy, healthy kids promote joyful families. But sometimes despite your best efforts, your child continues to struggle with behavioral problems, peer relationships, family changes, deficits in social/emotional development, aftermath of traumatic experiences, or mental health challenges. Many parents like you are tasked to find the necessary help and resources that their children require. My training and experience in issues related to trauma, mental health, and attachment position me well to serve the needs of your family.
Kate O'Brien
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, MA, PhD, LCSW
Verified
I enjoy working with people who are experiencing difficult life issues, often related to relationships and/or cultural expectation of who they "should" be. I support individuals, couples, and families who are stuck in a moment of confusion, grief, hopelessness, or despair, helping them figure out how to manage difficult challenges. I particularly appreciate opportunities to work with those in the process of exploring gender identity and sexual orientation, racial identity, and acute life/work crises such as grief, loss, and other traumas, including critical events such as the COVID-19 pandemic.
Lee Lockwood
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW, BCD
Verified
My approach is to help my patients both resolve the issues they bring to my office and help them become more able to prevent or minimize the recurrence of these issues. And, often what people can not see in themselves defeats their genuine attempts to change their lives. My strengths are helping people both see and deal with what really gets in the way of their achieving substantial change. The mind/emotions are often like icebergs- only a small amount is above water to be seen-yet much is unseen and can lead to great damage( a failure to change).
Brittany Pierson
Counselor, MA, LPC, LCPC
Verified
Everyone needs help sometimes. We use the resources, strategies, and supports that we have to work through the difficult times in life, but can reach the point where we need something more to face the challenges that we're up against. If you or someone you love is at a point where life's burdens have become too great, know that you're not alone. My goal as a therapist is to walk with you and help you carry those burdens by offering hope, support, and strategies to face your challenges. There is no better time to seek help.

Mirranda Cardinali
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, CRC, EMDR
Verified
Past trauma can manifest in many ways: persistent anxiety or depression, feelings of being constantly overwhelmed, isolation from family and friends, chronic physical pain with unknown causes, OCD or irrational phobias, sleep disturbances and many other ways. Over time your mind and body have developed ways to cope and protect itself; and maybe those coping strategies were and have been effective, but are they healthy? (i.e. substance use, self destructive behaviors, unhealthy relationships, self isolation; among others). You deserve a chance to move beyond those experiences and I can help you with this process.

About a decade ago I attended a conference at the Omega Institute and was reawakened to the immense suffering in the world and I realized there was no more time to waste. I needed to change careers in order to be of service. All of my life I wanted to be a healer and pursued a Masters degree in Clinical Mental Health. My approach is mindful, practical, respectful and always hopeful. I believe each of us holds the key to our own healing within our highest sense of Self. My role is to help support that discovery process through thoughtful exploration, creativity and a little humor.

Sound Familiar? You long for more joy in your life yet notice yourself avoiding your feelings, staying distracted, always on the go or shutting down completely. “I’m fine,” you say, “just tired”. But, when you avoid your feelings they tend to come out in other ways: racing thoughts; feeling unfocused; lack of sleep or oversleeping; reaching for alcohol, food or other substances; lashing out at loved ones; isolating yourself and then beating yourself up for these things. Then you find yourself falling down the rabbit hole of judgment, self-doubt and exhaustion which leaves you feeling stuck and even further from the joy you desire.
Katie Francis
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC
Verified
I often say, counseling can be a bit like cleaning out a closet. You have to take things out, go through and organize them, and then put them back where they need to go. In a similar fashion, counseling can be messy, but with time and hard work, can lead to healthier, more enjoyable living. Throughout this life, we all have our individual struggles and hardships, but we weren't meant to carry them alone. No matter who you are or what you've been through, there is hope. In our sessions together, I strive to come alongside you in the pursuit of that hope and restorative healing.
