Jessica Chavolla
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
Verified
**No availability at this time for individual therapy.** We all come to points in our lives where we feel stuck, lost, overwhelmed, or all of the above. I help my clients build up abilities to find peace, self-compassion, and meaning in their lives, which inevitably leads to growth, learning, and goal achievement. If you're finding yourself stuck in old patterns that aren't working for you anymore, then it might be a good time to enter counseling.

No one gets to adulthood without living through painful experiences. You may be feeling the effects of a single traumatic incident (sexual victimization, a tragic natural disaster, or the sudden loss of a dear one), or you may be struggling with the weight of years of hurtful events. The term "trauma" seems like a buzzword these days, but for some of us, trauma has deeply influenced our lives. When we experience suffering, we can feel like it becomes our identity. But it doesn't have to be that way. Healing from trauma -- single incident or multiple events -- is possible.

Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
Verified
The creation of a meaningful life can be undertaken at any time. People are resilient and capable of change; this capacity allows individuals to understand where they have come from, where they want to be, and to shift their lives in a positive direction. Psychotherapy facilitates this dynamic process. My practice focuses on a collaborative relationship that cultivates awareness, compassion, and agency-my goal is to empower individuals to transform personal vulnerabilities into paths of growth that lead to states of wellbeing.

My focus as a therapist is on you. I am there to help you relax and tap into your truth to find answers to life's problems, stressors, and conflicts. I wish to create a place where people can feel free to express thoughts, feelings and values without fear of being judged; where they can explore and discover their deeper Self, and where they can find a path forward in the choices they make for themselves.

Dr. Jason Patton
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Verified
I have a PhD in Counselor Education and Supervision, and I am eager to work with all clients wishing to grow, particularly in their relationships. I focus on all of the things that come together to make people who they are and utilize relational cultural theory (RCT). This means work with me tends to be more personal, as a means to help you grow in relationships. During trying times, I help individuals manage loneliness, grief, anxiety, depression, and other personal issues. In supervision of LPC Associates I utilize RCT and systems theories or others to meet the needs of their work. I teach doctoral and master’s students.

Is this the year you might consider therapy? Are you drinking too much, shopping a lot, overeating, fighting with loved ones? If these behaviors aren't working for you, therapy might be your next choice. When you decide to examine your behaviors and choices, change can occur. Choosing to take an hour for yourself weekly helps develop mindfulness and encourages you to think about why you are making your current choices. If you feel ready to try therapy, give me a call.

Nathaniel R. Strenger
Psychologist, PsyD
Verified
I believe in mutuality. I believe that all persons deserve mutuality in relationships, even when it becomes difficult. So I strive to be a clinician who provides a collaborative, exploratory, and enlightening relationship for healing. I believe this applies both in psychotherapy and in assessment. When I work with any age or circumstance, I try to understand words, thoughts, behaviors, and meanings. These all can lend themselves to strengths or difficulties, so we work with these to bring about desired change.

Patti Frances Pearce
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, MA
Verified
My practice has evolved into helping clients who are or have experienced traumatic events that are causing problems in the present. Through my experience, I have discovered that traumatic events appear to be the point of origin relating to dysfunctional relationships and ineffective coping skills. Often unsatisfied relationships began in childhood with a significant caregiver from whom we never felt fully accepted or unconditional love. We go through life with an unfulfilled need to connect with others & our basic need to belong. Instead of contentment we feel that something is missing resulting in a void.
