Are you looking for a way to end specific cycles or patterns you find yourself in time and time again? Maybe you are looking to address cycles and patterns that existed even before you. I am here to help you identify and address these cycles and patterns. I want to provide a sanctuary for your healing and processing. I love to work with all types of people and specifically enjoy working with members of the LGBTQ+ community. A lyric that always stands out to me is, "You're all caught up inside, But you know the way". I believe in you. Let's find what way works for you.

The decision to begin therapy can be a difficult one. It is important to find a therapist who can offer you insight, support, and safety to express your thoughts and feelings. My hope is that you can learn and apply your strengths to be the best version of yourself. At this time I work with adults as well as children (3+) . If you have any questions or think we may be a good fit, please feel free to reach out!

We enjoy working with clients who are open to understanding how adverse life experiences negatively impact thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and are ready to do the work of exploring these connections in therapy. We strive to build relationships with our clients based on the foundations of curiosity and empathy in a collaborative setting that is goal-oriented and relaxed, where their true self can be seen and feel accepted. Our overarching hope for clients is that through therapy they would believe they have inherent worth and value as human beings, apart from what they do, have, or what other people think and say about them.

Hello, I am Susan Havens LPCC-S. I have over 20 years of counseling experience. I enjoy working with trauma, PTSD my goal is to strengthen my clients to be more productive in life. Just want to help the hurting that may have been too afraid to ask for help or people that was told nothing was wrong with them.

I am an experienced practitioner and EMDR therapist. I have over a decade in this field and my ultimate goal is to provide a safe and welcoming space for my clients. I utilize evidence-based, trauma-informed techniques to help regulate the mind and body. I empower my clients to utilize their strengths using holistic and grounding methods like yoga and meditation.

Making the decision to find help is hard enough. That is why my goal in counseling is to create a place where you feel safe enough to tell your story. I am Olena Sowers, LPCC, and while I work with many concerns, I specialize in trauma and PTSD and EMDR. I have worked with a variety of client concerns, from anxiety, foster care and adoption to addiction, family conflict, anger, and others. I specialize in trauma and PTSD and am trained in EMDR. I have experience working with individuals who survived physical, sexual, and emotional abuse and neglect, assault, first responders, veterans, motor vehicle accident victims, and many more.

It is with much admiration and respect that I engage with clients in the journey to wellness. As a therapist, I have always believed in the strength of the individual to heal. I have a depth of knowledge in how trauma impacts individuals. It is part of who we are, but doesn’t need to define us. It can be difficult to seek help when things seem overwhelming and that is why I have always tried to create a warm, compassionate and safe environment for clients so they can feel accepted wherever they might be in their journey of self discovery and growth.

Accepting new clients! I help people overcome difficulty and use it to grow and pursue a life of meaning and purpose. Sometimes we start by treating stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, career, or LGBTQ+ and other identity issues, and over time turn to deeper issues about the life you want to create, your identity, and your values. I’m a humanistic counselor, which means I’ll never tell you what to do and I’ll always empower you to make the choice that’s best for you. I use a collaborative, gentle approach that helps you connect with your intuitive sense of self and your intrinsic motivation to grow and do difficult things.

As your therapist I will help you in reaching your goals at your own pace. Many families struggle in connecting with their child when they are hurt or dysregulated. Children's behavior is not always the first thing to tackle, it is what is underneath the behavior. I will help you and your family as you process the various thoughts and emotions that are impacting your child's behavior.

I imagine you are tired of handling things on your own. You feel stuck within your life trying to manage rejection, conflict, or failure. Relationships feel uncertain. You give and give and receive little to nothing in return. While you think about making changes, you can become overwhelmed. As a result, you feel like giving up. But you haven’t. You have courage. And I admire you for it. So, take a deep breath and let’s talk.

My approach to counseling includes cognitive behavioral, motivational, existential and person-centered therapies to help guide you!

Are you an over thinker? Have you had panic attacks? Do you question your value or do you find yourself prioritizing others' needs because you struggle with setting boundaries? Are you conflict avoidant? If any of these scenarios resonate...I can help you learn better ways to respond and cope with stess and anxiety. You CAN overcome your challenges. Facing them is the first step to changing your patterns. You are your best resource and I am committed to helping you realize that.

Let's be real: between work, relationships, health, ambitions, the future, the world… life can be a lot. Not to mention the pressure to do it all and be it all. Plus you know, ALL the feels. Those small and big transitions, losses, and yes, those feelings you try to ignore or avoid- it's likely grief. How human of you! We (all of us) forget that grief is a universal part of our human experience because we (culture) don't do a good job of normalizing it let alone therapy which exists to remind us we don't have to do this all on our own.

What is life? What does it mean to be human! Life can feel like a never-ending process of figuring things out and figuring them out again. The universe won’t stop throwing us painful, challenging, exciting curveballs; it’s a part of the deal. How do we come out on the other side feeling peaceful and whole? Whether it’s loss, gain, or plain old change, having someone alongside you can make all the difference.

Currently, I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to assist people in staying present focused and learning the role thoughts, feelings, and behaviors play in the development and maintenance of family health, relationships and mental health problems. I do believe that it is important to learn to live your day-to-day life before discussing past experiences that may be holding people back. I am a strong believer in being solution focused, and learning ways to focus on current issues. When working with me I will not try to push you to share past experiences, but only work on current behaviors that are not working for you in your life.

I believe you have the potential to live a more satisfying life with the right supports and tools in place; one of which being an effective and trustworthy counselor to help guide you through the struggles you face and implement effective strategies. I create a safe space for us so that you can feel comfortable sharing your story and allow me to join you on your journey to improved well-being.

Hi there! I am here to meet you where you are today, no matter how big/small the emotion/challenge may seem. My guarantee for you will always be to welcome you to a judgment-free space that is genuine, authentic, positive, & respectful. We all need a judgment-free zone to release the unwanted weight from our journeys. This is your designated hour of growth & we will work on empowering you to equip yourself for your best future.

It is terrifying to think about change. You aren’t living your life to your fullest and you know that you can’t continue living this way. Perhaps discomfort presents itself in a quiet subtle way, maybe it is screaming at you in a voice that you can’t ignore, or maybe it just popped up out of nowhere leaving you confused and asking questions. Your thoughts keep swirling in your head, leaving you with feelings of confusion. Relationships in your life are being impacted and you want nothing more than to find calmness in your life.
