Hello, I’m Erika Huguenard, LCSW and I believe that healing begins with feeling seen, understood, and supported exactly where you are. With over 12 years of experience as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I provide a compassionate and collaborative space for people navigating trauma, loss, life transitions, and the complex emotions that come with being human.
Therapy with me is holistic, engaging, and client centered. I have an extensive background in working with adults, teens, and couples. Clients express they feel deeply listened to and met with an approach directly tailed to meet their needs.
Accepting short-term and intermittent-term clients who are open and ready for immediate positive emotional, mental, or relational shifts.
Clients often describe me as warm, approachable, and easy to talk to. I aim to create a supportive and engaging space where you feel safe to be emotionally open, while also bringing a sense of ease.
At the core of my style is curiosity. I’m drawn to the “why” - why we feel, think, and respond to life the way we do. I take a holistic and at times existential approach, exploring not just immediate challenges, but the deeper patterns, life transitions, and questions of meaning that shape your experience.
I draw from a wide range of personal and professional experiences, including working directly with and overseeing a large and diverse group of clients. This allows me to adapt different techniques and perspectives to support growth, insight, and lasting change. Throughout the process, I remain thoughtful, engaged, and focused on what will be most helpful for you.
Mrs. Evon Czok is a dual-certified Psychiatric and Family Practice Nurse Practitioner with over 30 years of nursing experience. A top graduate of her class (Mount Carmel College of Nursing, 2019, Ursuline College, 2025). She is deeply committed to partnering with clients on their journey toward wholeness. Her clinical focus includes anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood concerns, binge-eating behaviors, stress, emotional health, and supporting wellness and sustainable change through life transitions.
As a Christian therapist, I walk with clients to strengthen and support them in learning self compassion, understanding their worth, finding insight and living wisely. I have studied psychology and marriage and family therapy for over 13 years and have been in practice as a therapist for 7 of those years. I have intentionally learned and applied principles and practices which help clients sustain growth from hurts, unprocessed feelings and lack of direction toward more energy, enjoyment and purposefulness in life again.
I look forward to consulting with you to see if our therapeutic work would fit with you!
Hi and Welcome! My names is Jessica Ambroz and I am a therapist & licensed clinical social worker. My background includes working with trauma, child abuse, anxiety and depression. I have extensive work in the foster care system, parenting and working with substance abuse and mental health challenges. I am a doctorate candidate at the University of Tennessee Knoxville and my focus of study is strength and experiences impact functioning.
Nice to meet you! I remember back in my younger days when I was the person my friends came to whenever they had problems. Lo and behold, I decided to make a career out of it. I have had the privilege of working with first responders and children of first responders.
