Peter Thomas
Psychologist, PhD

Psychotherapy and finding the right therapist can be a challenge. For many, it's finding the right one that provides a comfortable and personable experience. For some it can be tough to open up and get connected. Its those relationships that provide the grounding for effective and helpful treatment. I strive to provide a safe and affirming place to accomplish just that. From there, it can be easier to address and evaluate specific treatments tailored for the individual and provide for a therapeutic experience that you can find valuable and, most importantly, helpful.

LPC-Associate, MS, LPC-A, NCC
Verified
None of us should have to face life’s journey alone. As we grow and enter new stages of life, things that worked for us in the past may no longer serve us well. Sometimes the challenges of life call for new responses. Counseling can be an opportunity to explore the rules and boundaries that we have acquired over time and consider new possibilities.

The past 2 years have been difficult for so many of us... It seems like any issues we had prior to the pandemic were put on hold and we were then faced with a brand new set of overwhelming issues to cope with! Now that it seems we are beginning to return to some sense of normalcy, there's finally time to focus on personal growth and healing.

I am an LPC-Associate supervised by Daniel Gowan, LPC-S. My clients are adults of all ages working through a wide range of issues, such as depression, anxiety, addiction, grief, spiritual disconnection, relationship difficulties, and more. I have a particular interest and additional experience with the LGBTQ population, young adults working to establish their identities, those working through painful grief journeys, and those who are exploring their faith or spirituality. My goal is always to create a space free from judgment where you can explore who you are, who you want to be, and who you feel called to be.
Dr. Cheronda Steele
Psychologist, PsyD
Verified
How do you create a life full of meaning and purpose when you are experiencing emotional pain, chronically stressed, fatigued, repeating unhealthy behavior patterns, and feeling depressed or anxious? These struggles can be difficult questions to answer and challenging issues to work through when we try to do it alone, suffer in silence, try to numb/avoid our feelings, and become disconnected from ourselves and others. Effective therapy will help facilitate your healing process and help you to discover (or rediscover) a life of meaning and purpose, full of authentic connections, balance, growth, enthusiasm, awe, beauty, and peace.

If you want to create better habits, heal your relationships, find relief from worries and insecurities, or overcome pain from the past, you may know what you need to do but have trouble following through.

Bond Buchanan
Marriage & Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
Verified
Welcome! Whether you are struggling with a temporary setback, or an ongoing problem, I can assist you. It is my experience that, as human beings, we all face life challenges, be they relational, personal, emotional, or physical, and our mental health affects how we respond to those challenges. I offer counseling to all ages (children, teens, adults) and provide services to individuals, couples, and families. Therapy can be short-term/ solution-focused, or longer- term, depending on your needs and desires.
Lauren Marshall
Marriage & Family Therapist, MS, LMFT
Verified
Life seems to run at such a hurried pace these days; schedules, activities, deadlines, errands, carpool lines, you name it. Even though we are in the physical presence of others many times throughout our day, rarely are we truly engaging in basic humanity with each other. Our mental health deserves as much prioritization as the rest of our life, but oftentimes it receives the least. Attending therapy is a profound gift to yourself or your teen girl; a gift of time and of slowing down. I hope that my office is a place that temporarily insulates you from the chaos outside and allows you time and space to do the work of being human.

Michael K. O'Neal
Drug & Alcohol Counselor, M-RAS, LCDC
Verified
I specialize in recovery from alcoholism using the ReNova Method. Alcoholism is different from other forms of substance abuse and dependence. It often develops for entirely different reasons and among bright, restless, overachievers. Or, people who experience anxiety, depression or insomnia. Sometimes, all the above. ReNova works by helping people who over-drink develop a greater sense of internal normalcy and control, so the need to over-drink to feel 'OK' disappears along with the addictive urge and/or compulsion to keep drinking.
