My name is Natasha Collins. I have been an LMFT for nearly 15 years. I am passionate about helping individuals learn and develop the skills necessary to support a life that is healthy and fulfilling. Participation in therapy can help one gain insight, find clarity, replace self-defeating patterns with more supportive ones, build on strengths, learn new skills, and improve relationships.

We are living through a difficult time right now. As a young student nurse, I was taught that we were overdue for a pandemic. Forty years later here we are. Feeling threatened by a micro-organism we cannot see. Then there is the uncertainty of how it will end and conflicting messages that bombard you. Your thoughts trigger your feelings. Thinking errors and cognitive distortions can add to your distress making feelings of anxiety worse. When we are unable to change situations, we need to change how we handle them. I will help you.

Nothing changes if nothing changes is a quote that I have lived my life by for years. Are you ready to make changes? Even just a small one? Seeking out therapy is already a change that can improve your overall well-being. I specialize in treating adults or adolescents struggling with substance abuse, depression, anxiety, and family conflict in residential and outpatient settings. I am passionate about helping those who are ready to learn and implement positive habits into their lives. I am passionate about supporting your growth in relationships, work, school, etc.

In the first few sessions together, my goal is to understand what struggles you are currently experiencing that are causing you distress, and then provide you tools to help minimize those stressors to get to a more stabilized place. Once you are feeling more grounded and able to manage your current stressors, then I encourage the exploration of why these things are present in the first place, where they are coming from, and ultimately when they were initially learned and began. I believe that helping you uncover these important pieces of information are vital to your long-term success in becoming the best version of you possible!

My approach to therapy is to meet the client where they are. My theoretical approach is eclectic; however, some of my favorites include CBT, Solution Focus, and Positive Psychology. With over 14 years of experience in residential and outpatient substance abuse treatment and behavioral health, I am experienced in working with co-occurring disorders and the multifaceted and complex aspects of substance use/abuse.

I'm Ryan Crawford, LCSW. I have the most experience working with adults and teens dealing with depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, poor self-esteem, and coping with life transitions. I view my role as a therapist as walking alongside you to help you determine what is best for you.

Chronic exposure to interpersonal tension can negatively affect health and well-being. Living in a heightened physical state impacts our cognitive abilities, mood, self-esteem, ability to form healthy, stable attachments and is associated with increased risk of developing chronic health conditions. By using somatic and psychophysiological approaches to bring the whole self into the healing process, I support individuals whose lives have been impacted by adversity, chronic stress, and developmental trauma to prevent burn out, decrease anxiety, and build resilience so that they can navigate the ebbs and flows of daily life.
