Hi there. I am Krystie Wilson. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC). More specifically, I am someone who strives to create healthy changes in the lives of my clients. I find that we spend a lot of our lives in our own heads; focused on what has happened or what isn't happening. If you feel that you are struggling with silencing the negative thoughts, feeling alone, or being unable to move forward in your life, I can work with you to work get past the mental blocks, fears, rejections, and past traumas.

I work with people who have tried everything and are still feeling stuck. Lingering trauma can cast a long shadow over life, causing feelings of dread, shame, and a constant sense that something bad is lurking around the corner, even when everything seems fine. It may lead to a perpetual state of high-alert, distracting the mind with worrying thoughts and exhausting the body through constant tension and anxiety. Others struggle with the isolation that comes from eating disorders and skewed body image, or they might belong to families weighed down by old pain, caught in frustrating cycles of arguments and guilt.

I'm here to help you resolve your challenges and move forward. Sometimes life can feel overwhelming and making changes can feel like an impossibility. Relationships, trauma, health issues, life transitions, grief, complicated family dynamics, and childhood wounds can keep us feeling stuck. They can rob us of our joy and even dim the vision we have for our lives. By applying complementary therapy approaches, including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), together we can unearth long-standing behavior patterns or negative perceptions that may be holding you back from experiencing a more fulfilling and meaningful life.

Hi! I’m Leah Tharp, a resident in counseling who works with preteens (11+), teens, young adults and adults looking for more peace, confidence, and meaning in their lives. Being a counselor informs how I approach therapy, both from my educational background and past work experiences in that I view each person as the expert on themselves and myself as a guide. Together in therapy we will look at the forces that have shaped you and your beliefs to help you better understand yourself, your environment, and your thoughts and feelings.

Wellness has been defined as a way of life oriented toward optimal health and well-being in which body, mind, and spirit are integrated to live more fully within the human and natural community. Ideally, it is the optimum state of health and well-being that each individual is capable of achieving. When working together in counseling, I perceive one’s thoughts are related to their feelings and reactions to events, not the events themselves. Counseling sessions are individualized to meet the unique needs of each client.
