Caroline West
Pre-Licensed Professional, MEd, NCC
Verified
Part of the reason I was drawn to this profession is because therapy has been an invaluable tool in my own life. I’m always striving to create a space for growth and healing that is as impactful for others as it has been for me. Being a human is hard work and none of us get it out of it unscathed. I believe that we could all benefit from having an opportunity and a space to put words to our fears, doubts, emotions, and beliefs and to help us gain clarity on what is serving us and what is holding us back.

Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, MHSP

Asking for help is sometimes difficult, and also powerful. Daily struggles with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, intrusive thoughts can become overwhelming. Complex trauma, substance use, eating disorders, unhealthy relationships, are among a few that can also keep us from our authentic self. In order to survive through all of this and keep going, it is common to adapt in ways that end up no longer working. We need help. That help comes from recognizing the gifts we have in ourselves and getting the gifts of others. My gift is to help others with aligning the head and the heart while healing to recognize authentic self.

Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, MHSP
Verified
I feel blessed to be a counselor for the last 16 years while raising my own two children. Often there are stumbling blocks in life that an individual has to approach and handle in daily life. You may be experiencing depression, anxiety, stress and frustration. Counseling can provide a safe and nonjudgmental place to talk. The confident nature of counseling means you can safely talk about difficult events or relationships. Counseling helps empower you and equip you to deal with difficult feelings , and difficult situations you are experiencing.

I treat presenting concerns such as anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), tics, depression, adjustment issues, emotion dysregulation, social difficulties, and disruptive behavior. My therapeutic approach is grounded in evidence-based techniques, namely Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT).

Leigh Ellen Bruce
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCMHSP, NCC
Verified
I have a strong passion for partnering with clients in the process of breaking free from the dynamics and behaviors keeping them disconnected from their lives. This could include addressing trauma, shame, family of origin issues, substance abuse, eating disorders, and other issues creating distance in clients' relationships-with others and with themselves. "Surviving" life is very different from truly living it; I feel honored to help others begin to reclaim their lives as they discover freedom from those burdens.
Lucy Wright

Verified
Life is hard and we sometimes need someone to walk with us through it. My passion is for women and men troubled with relationship issues or who struggle with depression and anxiety which can manifest in a number of ways including self harm, low self-esteem, eating disorders, and panic attacks. I get excited to work with couples helping them build intimacy and understanding of themselves and one another. I love working with motivated clients and it's my passion to create a safe, nonjudgmental environment to explore those tough and sometimes dark places with those who want to move forward and live the life they desire.

Jeremy Cox
Marriage & Family Therapist, LMFT
Verified
I help clients navigate their life and relationship challenges with creativity, yet I do not believe therapy needs to only be about problems. Sometimes therapy is fun. Sometimes it is a recognition of what is going right. Often it is an exploration into the stories we tell ourselves and reconsidering whether that story continues to serve its purpose. Most importantly it is about finding what works, what is helpful in support of you moving forward.
Nanette Griffin
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, MHSP
Verified
I believe therapy is a safe place for self-exploration and building awareness of what may be holding you back from achieving your best self and putting you on the path to a more fulfilling life. Whether this is your first time seeking therapy or you have tried it in the past, I am committed to working together to navigate through your needs and meet your goals. It can be helpful to have someone's full, unbiased attention to support you in your journey to create healing through positive, long lasting change.

"Do you see me? Do you hear me? Does what I say mean anything to you?" This is something Oprah Winfrey believes every person wants to know, and I couldn't agree more. I am so glad you're here. Reaching out for support can be hard sometimes. Being vulnerable enough to show up for ourselves and allow another person to witness that is a courageous thing. Whether you're here because someone suggested you try therapy, you've been in therapy for decades or you're somewhere in between, I'm ready to listen. And not only am I here to listen, I'm here to support and challenge you to do that hard thing or even finally face that fear.
Lillie Vandekar
Psychologist, PsyD, HSP
Verified
Whatever brings you to therapy, you’ve likely been struggling with it for some time and are seeking relief- trying to fix it, ignoring it, carrying it around with you. No matter what “it” is, you are more than your struggle. Whether you are feeling stuck, unsure, overwhelmed, depressed, anxious, or all the above, experience has taught me that people are resilient and things can change. Together we'll make sense of what you’re feeling and why, learn new ways of being, and discover more about yourself- giving you more choice, freedom, and clarity.

NOTE: Email is the quickest way to reach me. If you call, please leave a name. Are you going through something that others do not seem to get or understand? Does a loss seem to be affecting you far more than the "normal stages" of grief? Perhaps you find that you cannot get past certain images in your mind of a moment in your life. Time and time again you are not able to find relief. On top of that, others do not seem to understand why you are affected so deeply. You struggle to communicate the thoughts and feelings that consume you.
