I also have experience working with older adults. I have worked in schools, community-based agencies and residential programs.

I'm a Licensed Master and Clinical Social Worker with over 10 years of experience helping people through some of life's hardest moments. I work with individuals, families, and groups, and I have specialized training in trauma, eating disorders, and sexual health concerns.

My name is Jessica Moyer and I am a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner who is bored-certified. I am a dedicated mental health provider with over 10 years of experience supporting individuals across the lifespan, including children, adolescents, adults, and older adults. My background includes both inpatient and outpatient settings, as well as community mental health, where I’ve had the privilege of working with diverse populations and a wide range of clinical needs.

Hello, and welcome. My name is Rebecca Lindquist, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 15 years of experience in clinical practice. I earned my Master's in Social Work from the University of Kansas and began my career in medical social work. Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of working with adults and older adults in a variety of settings. I am dedicated to supporting individuals through some of life's most important and vulnerable moments. I also founded a self-care group for local social workers 6 years ago, born out of a need to keep our community healthy. By prioritizing my own self-care, I'm able to be fully present, responsive, and emotionally attuned in our work together.

Hello! I am Ellen Heckerman, LSCSW, I have 48 years' experience in counseling with families, and individuals, both adults and children. I enjoy helping clients become their best self and beginning to flourish. Some of the areas I specialize in are Family therapy, marital therapy, treating ADHD in adults and children, treating depression and anxiety, and adjustment disorders . I am a Christian counselor and I can work with you from a faith-based perspective if you like.

For 30 years, I've worked inside schools alongside children and adolescents — as a social worker, an advocate, and someone who genuinely understands how young people think, struggle, and grow. I know what anxiety looks like in a middle schooler. I know how ADHD shows up in a classroom. And I know that the kids and families who need support deserve to get it without spending years trying to find relief.

I'm a Licensed Specialist Clinical Social Worker — a credential I earned in November 2025, after raising two kids of my own while completing every requirement along the way. It took longer than I planned. I wouldn't change it. That experience shapes how I show up for every client.

I hold a Master's in Social Work from the University of Kansas and work as both a school social worker and a therapist, giving me a perspective on young people and families that's grounded in their real, daily lives.

My clients can count on clear communication, collaborative care, and a deep commitment to helping them thrive.

I have been practicing mental health counseling since 2019 in a variety of settings. I enjoy working with adolescents, teens, and adults to overcome life stress, adjust to hard circumstances, and manage anxiety! I have a Master's degree in Counseling from West Chester University and a Bachelor's degree in Psychology from Penn State University. I have a special focus on treating anxiety disorders, depression, difficult adjustment to life changes (i.e. high school, college), and trauma, grief, and other life stressors.

Hey! You’re seeking help because it is needed. That’s huge! Many people don’t seek treatment or therapy but you’re already on this path. Some folks don’t find the path. You’ve got some idea of what you need and are ready for someone to be along with you on this journey. We both know humans succeed in a team not so much when we are alone. First, give yourself credit because it takes a lot of courage to not do things alone and to be willing to open up to someone you do not know. Your courage is where our journey together starts. It would be an honor to be a part of your team in life, for life!

I specialize in supporting women navigating complex experiences that often go misunderstood. This includes women who have experienced harm within spiritual or religious communities—whether that's spiritual abuse, religious trauma, or the complicated grief of leaving a faith tradition. I also work with women managing anxiety, depression, and interpersonal trauma.

If you've felt silenced, questioned your own reality, or struggled to trust yourself after difficult experiences, you're not alone. My practice is a place where your story matters, your feelings are valid, and healing is possible.
