Accepting New Clients! Virtual appointments only! My ideal client is someone who seeks personal growth and a deeper understanding of themselves. They might be facing challenges related to depression, anxiety, stress, trauma, or unhealthy relationships. Their needs revolve around finding coping strategies and building resilience. Their primary goal is to achieve a more balanced and fulfilling life, free from limiting beliefs and emotional barriers.

I am accepting NEW clients! I have felt like you feel...unworthy, sad, alone, hopeless. I have felt every feeling that has led you to be on this website reading this paragraph right now. BUT, I have also felt peace and freedom. The insecurities, the validation you seek from others, the minimizing yourself to protect others. These things are limiting your VOICE.

I'm deeply committed to the simple things that make therapy rewarding. I want people to leave my office feeling like they're important and worth being understood. Most of my clients are struggling with depression, anxiety, or a feeling of being stuck and frustrated in life. Together, we will work on gaining self-knowledge, improving functioning in life, and becoming more connected to what really matters to you. As a Marriage and Family Therapist, my primary focus is on pain and healing in the context of relationships - with others and yourself.

Reaching out for help can often seem intimidating to some, so I like to approach therapy by creating an environment where you feel comfortable enough to be your authentic self and share any piece of your life without fear of judgment. Therapy should be an empathetic space where you get to untangle your thoughts within safe walls and gain tools to handle the stressors that come with the journey of life, whether that is learning to cope with daily anxieties or unpacking unresolved trauma. Let's take time to unpack your story and create a healthy path for future chapters.

Has the loss of a loved one, relationship, or life transition left you feeling lost, anxious, depressed, angry, or unsure of where to turn? Grief is an umbrella term for all the emotions you might feel after loss, and it has no fixed timeline. Whether your loss was recent or decades ago, I can help. I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker with over 10 years experience and a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional. I specialize in grief and trauma work.

At Revive Counseling and Wellness Services, we work to empower those around us to become better together by providing professional mental health and wellness services to the community. We offer individual, family and group counseling. I personally work with children, family sets such as sibling sets and parent and child, and individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, adjustment concerns and emotional abuse. As a single mother, I am passionate about mothers and the intersections we experience as we balance the growing needs of our families, careers and self-care.

Do you feel lost and as though you have no one to turn to? Are your fears of being judged and misunderstood preventing you from reaching out for help? Do you struggle to open up to people and feel as though you have to hide your true self out of fear of being misunderstood or misjudged? Do you feel as though you struggle with negative thoughts about yourself and others that hold you back from building relationships? Taking the first step in acknowledging that you need support along your healing journey can be difficult and scary.

My clients are college age students. 40-50% of students report having some sort of anxiety that affects their studies in school. Our services are matched to student issues such as ADD related problems, roommate issues, friendship or dating issues, and a variety of other issues that come up during this particular time. Typically, it’s the first time students have lived on their own and made decision by themselves and it can be stressful! Sometimes, students find themselves thinking about families issues such as parental divorce or other trauma they haven’t processed before.

Every person has individual, unique experiences that they bring into the room, which means their own therapy needs may look very different than another’s. I am passionate about working alongside clients who are motivated to pursue lasting change in their lives, whether that be processing complex trauma, learning new relationship skills, navigating life transitions, or formulating healthy boundaries and self care practices. It can be painful to talk about and face the things that have brought you to the place you are currently in, but just like resetting a broken bone, the rewards of healing far outweigh the pain of healing!

Coming into therapy, especially for the first time, can be daunting. Diving into unknown waters and discussing your innermost feelings in front of a stranger can feel terrifying. It is understandable why there can be a lot of hesitance before taking that plunge. At New Growth Therapy, when a client I've been seeing for some time has what I call "the aha moment" in session and they start creating change, it can often prove to be one of the most rewarding experiences.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 10 years of experience treating various conditions such as depression, anxiety, mood disorders, grief, etc. I work with all age groups and respectfully join with any client who is ready. My style is warm, compassionate, and dynamic. I utilize an integrated approach with CBT, DBT, and other techniques that fit with the acknowledgement that not every approach fits every person or situation.

Everyone has their own mountain to climb, and sometimes it gets more complicated than you prepare for. You may be bogged down in the past, struggling to keep up in the present, or fearful about your future. Whatever you’re going through, you found yourself here, hoping to make a change that can get you back on course. The good news is that there is hope! That change is possible, and you are capable of making it happen. We can work together to help you move past just getting by and start living a meaningful, satisfying life.

I love working with those who are ready to make a change in their lives. I think trust and comfort are the two most important factors when choosing a therapist. For real progress to happen, the therapist has to be a good fit for you. I think each client comes in with individual and specific challenges, meaning therapy has to be tailored to fit each client. I'd love to be able to take the time to figure out what is happening for you and what can be helpful in overcoming obstacles.

As a first responder, I have over 11 years of experience assisting victims of various crimes. I have received training on trauma-informed care and have developed a passion for working with survivors of human trafficking and child exploitation. I have worked with individuals experiencing trauma, anxiety, stress, difficulty setting boundaries, and depression. I also look forward to working with first responders and their families.

I work with clients on unlocking strengths that allow them to discover the best version of themselves. My goal as a therapist is to work with you to create desired change. I have experience working with young children, adults, couples, and families. If you are struggling with anxiety, parenting concerns, relationship conflict, or overall life stressors, Thrive Therapy can help! Reaching out can be the hardest step but also the most rewarding.

Hi! My name is Savannah and I am so happy to have you here. I am so proud that you are considering beginning the journey of therapy and working towards growth in your life. Therapy is a wonderful tool as it can create extravagant and meaningful change. Therapy can also be your "safe space,” a place where your most influential events, thoughts, and emotions are shared and processed. It can be scary and uncomfortable, however I believe that true growth occurs when we are challenging ourselves. If you are looking to focus on self-esteem, emotion regulation, relationships or connection, I would love to work with you.
