Counselor, MA, LMHC

Hello and welcome, I hope you find some of this information useful. If you are feeling motivated to support your own healing, free yourself from outdated ways of being or otherwise transform, I'd like to be a part of that process. Getting unstuck, handling difficult emotions, communicating more effectively, setting healthy boundaries and having options to work with intrusive thoughts are a few examples of developments that may come from committing to therapy. My work is collaborative, client-centered and trauma-informed. I intend to provide inclusive care as much as possible and I approach this task with humility.

*I'm currently not accepting new clients.* We all go through difficult, stressful, or traumatic life experiences, and we may get stuck in patterns of thinking and behaving that leave us depressed, anxious, or unfulfilled. While we can’t change the past, we can learn to heal, build a brighter present, and a hopeful future. I will teach you skills to respond to difficult thoughts and feelings in more helpful ways. You will learn to process emotions, live in the present, and focus on what matters to you most. Therapy is a unique process where we work together to help increase joy in your life and help you become more of who you are.

The fall season is a great time of transition and transformation. Crysalis is defined as a transitory state; a protective covering; a sheltered state or stage of being or growth. I can be a guide to assist during various types of transitions. I promote a sense of security and a safe place as you sort through stressors and past traumas that prevent you from thriving and living a meaningful life. In our work together we will identify distressing emotions and process those through to fruition; notice potential thinking errors that are limiting your happiness and look for ways to increase your experiences of joy.

Counselor, MA, SUDP, LMHC

Getting to the heart of intense emotions and changing the status quo can be frightening. Yet, so is the idea of remaining in a place that is no longer sustainable. You know it’s time to stop trying to fill that void with what is no longer working. It can be very difficult to step out of expectations and into your authentic self. The decision to seek professional therapy and create movement in your life says you are ready. Anxiety, depression, compulsive behaviors and negative relationship patterns can become so overwhelming that we feel distrust in everything, especially ourselves.

*Please note that I am currently full and not taking new clients. I will update this message when I am able to take new clients.* It takes courage to start therapy. You've probably tried a number of ways to do this yourself. You want to feel better, more in control and not be so bothered by certain people, things, and past events. That is exactly what I am trained and experienced in helping people do.
Kendall Farley
Counselor, MS, LMHC, LMFTA

We all experience times in our lives where we encounter hardship, confusion and sadness. During these times we may feel stuck or overwhelmed, linger in negative patterns and question the bigger meaning of our lives. Additionally, growing up and in this increasingly hectic world requires each of us to adopt certain coping strategies that may no longer be serving us; from limiting beliefs about ourselves and our potential to outdated messages that may have clouded our internal vision. Learning new ways to understand ourselves by getting in touch with our deeper parts and feelings can offer new pathways toward healing and growth.
Sylo Cermak
Pre-Licensed Professional, LMHCA, NCC
Verified
Most of us carry around stories about who we are and who we should be without really knowing how we got them or if we want to keep them. Therapy is a place to gently explore and unpack these narratives. My clients want to like and understand themselves more, have better relationships, and feel more hope and possibility in their lives. They are determined and brave, but often have been trying things that aren't working or leave them more stuck. I believe every person has an innate capacity to heal, but sometimes trauma and life experiences can block those pathways and make life feel narrow and small.
Terrilee (Terri) Ann Dalton
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, PhD, LCSW, CADC
Verified
I believe in empowering people to reach their full potential by providing services that are strengths-based, practical, holistic, and focused on promoting long lasting change. I work using a style of fostering trust and authenticity,starting where people want and ending when people feel their life and issues have changed and their happiness enhanced. I believe the relationship in counseling is the core issue in treatment. This is particularly important in working with children and adolescents where no work could be done without building a warm, honest, and caring connection. I believe healing comes through the mind, body, spirit connection.

Welcome! We are all emotional and relational beings so naturally our greatest happiness and heartache often come from our relationships and are ongoing throughout our lives. Experiencing anxiety, depression, feelings of being stuck, loneliness, spiritual challenges, struggling with communication issues, moving through discouragement, and unmet expectations in yourself and/or loved ones, is not a sign of failure or weakness. These experiences simply remind us we are human and provide opportunities for growth. The choice to do something different is yours. I welcome the walk with you on your journey of hope and transformation.

*Accepting new clients* The journey to healing begins with a desire to feel better. Together, we’ll work to discover what “better” looks like and what can be done to achieve it. There are many ways life shows us we are stuck in our own story; addiction, depression, anxiety, anger and many other indicators can be present when we’re experiencing such pain. How did we get here? How do we get out? What are we holding onto? Who can we not let go?
Peggy J Duquette
Counselor, MA, LMHC, CDP

Are you suffering with anxiety and depression every day? Do you experience current triggers associated with past childhood or recent trauma? Most importantly, are these symptoms interfering with your daily life - are they making it difficult to impossible for you to experience joy and happiness? If you're reading this, then you are driven to recovery, which is the first and most important step to healing these symptoms. Childhood trauma (neglect, verbal, mental, emotional, physical, sexual abuse) will have a lasting effect on our lives and we get stuck with negative beliefs and negative internalized stories about ourselves.
