Sarah Mines
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, MSEd
Verified
Therapy is a place where we are allowed to be raw, imperfect, vulnerable humans in a society that expects us to be flawlessly composed. I focus my practice on personal power and can provide you with tools to work on whatever is causing your stress, whether that's in the present, past, or future. My goal in counseling is to be a source of unconditional support while we step back and explore the ways in which social forces impact(ed) the ways you understand yourself and the world. I firmly believe knowing oneself as a whole person is a crucial step to substantial and sustainable change and know we can find solutions to help you grow.

Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC , CSOTP, CSAC
Verified
I am a psychotherapist who enjoy lighting the path for others. I believe you are the authority over your own life but sometimes you need someone objective to help you look from the outside in. Coupled with my clinical expertise, I am emotionally attuned to others. I often recognize others’ feelings and intuitively understand where these sentiments come from. As a result, I often know what to say to help find solutions that address the individuals’ concerns.
Queer Talk - Troy Johnson, LCSW
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW
Verified
As a member of the LGBTQ+ community, I've done the work myself, and will bring my expertise and experience to our sessions. People can change if they are willing to. Perhaps you grew up in an environment that tamped down your optimism and served you limiting beliefs about yourself and the world. Trauma, failures, and heartbreak may have limited your ability to excel or embrace yourself fully. By constructing a more accurate, compassionate, and hopeful narrative about your life, you can make new choices for yourself, practice new ways of living, and eventually change how you think, feel, relate, and achieve.

Allie Longworth
MS, MT-BC
As a music therapist, I address many goals typically addressed in traditional talk therapy, such as learning how to deal with difficult emotions, use new coping skills, and connect with others in order to live a healthier, more fulfilling life. Although talking is a big part of music therapy, music allows me to create an experience rather than a purely cognitive discussion. This can be a powerful path to healing. It doesn't matter if you have never played music before in your life. The music is my job -- your job is just to show up and be open to the experience. Your openness may be the best indicator of a good match with me.

Alexandra Orton
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW
Verified
You're having trouble feeling safe with your partner, friends, at work; sometimes feeling safe at all. You know what you experienced was not "OK" and now you're left to experience the sleepless nights, anger, racing heart, and worries. Maybe you're questioning your worth and wondering how you will ever move on. It feels like a piece of you is missing or was even taken. Sometimes, there aren't any words to describe what it feels like in your body. Maybe it has been a month since "it" happened, maybe years. Regardless, you don't have to keep feeling this way.
River City Therapy
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, MSW, LCSW, RYT
Verified
Your sense of well-being, including mental and emotional health, is a vital part of your overall health and thriving and benefits from care and attention. Thinking "Hey, maybe I could use therapy," is pivotal. Usually it's pain, suffering, confusion, difficult emotions, and things just not going right that bring us to therapy. AND although it can feel otherwise, there's no shame in needing or wanting support, or participating in therapy. My hope is that therapy helps you experience greater self-acceptance, compassion, and ease with yourself and your life - it's a worthy and doable endeavor.

Pre-Licensed Professional, LPC-R

Navigating through life can prove to be a tough task to tackle alone and sometimes reaching out for support is often the first and hardest step forward. I strive to meet clients where they are and provide them with a warm nonjudgmental space where they feel safe and supported to explore and process through what is going on within throughout their therapeutic journey. Being born in Ghana, West Africa and moving to the United States has also cultivated a passion with reaching and working with the immigrant community as well to provide the safe space and support needed to navigate the challenges and hurdles encountered on this journey.
