I have been told that I have a calming and soothing persona. I like to make everyone feel heard, important, and supported during their time of need.

Hi, I have been in the counseling field for 18 years. My desire is to create a non-judgmental, open and safe space to help someone feel free to use their voice. Their are no issues that can't be talked about.

I'm a veteran and therapist who finds peace in the natural world. I believe true growth comes from living your values and making real, experiential change. Whatever the space, I'll be there to encourage your growth with active listening, skill building, and action.

If you've been putting off therapy — telling yourself you'll handle it on your own, or that it's not for you — you're exactly who I'm glad to work with. I'm a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with 22 years of experience, and I help adults get to the root of what's actually going on and do something about it. Whether it's anxiety, depression, anger that's costing you, the weight of past trauma, stress that won't let up, or questions about identity and who you are, I'll meet you head-on and help you build a real way forward.

I work with a lot of men and people from diverse backgrounds who want a therapist they can be straight with — someone direct, who respects your time and helps you see results, not just talk in circles. That's the work I'm built for.

Great to meet you! My name is Linda Smiley, and I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor. I enjoy being a therapist because everyone deserves to be validated, listened to, and given the opportunity to live their best life. I am born and raised in Kentucky, and have also lived in a couple of other states — experiences that have shaped how I practice. Working with individuals from other cultures has given me a multicultural lens, and that perspective is part of every session I offer.

Hello. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with extensive experience supporting individuals and families navigating trauma, mental health challenges, and periods of crisis. Throughout my career, I have worked in roles focused on crisis intervention, trauma-informed care, and helping individuals manage complex emotional and behavioral concerns. I am committed to creating a supportive and compassionate environment where clients feel safe sharing their experiences and beginning the healing process.

In life the most important aspect is the relationship we have with ourselves and others. As a mental health therapist I believe healing happens through connection, understanding, and feeling truly heard. I help individuals navigate the effects of trauma, strengthen relationships, and develop the tools needed to create lasting emotional well being in a warm, nonjudgmental environment.

As a therapist with over a decade of experience, I recognize that taking the first step toward seeking therapy can be difficult, which is why I want to help clients feel comfortable discussing some of life's most challenging topics. As I near the end of my education in Counseling Psychology, I have honed my experience in trauma-informed care. I have experience in working with individuals across the lifespan, but have focused my recent work with adults aged 18+ with extensive trauma and anxiety.

I’ve been working in the mental health field since earning my Masters of Science in Social Work degree with a specialization in Alcohol and Drug Counseling from the University of Louisville in 2011. Over the years, I’ve worked in both inpatient and outpatient settings, supporting adults through challenges with mental health and substance use. Those experiences have given me the privilege of walking alongside people in some of the hardest and most transformative moments of their lives.

You don't have to have everything figured out before starting therapy. Maybe you're feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, carrying grief that feels heavier than expected, struggling with ADHD, or simply trying to make sense of a difficult season in life. Whether you're an adult navigating life's challenges or a child learning how to express big emotions, therapy can be a place to slow down, feel understood, and discover new ways forward.

Hi, glad you're here! My name is Mariko, and I work with adolescents and adults who are navigating grief, anxiety, family conflict, relationship concerns, and the impact of earlier life experiences that continue to show up in the present.

I have experience working with clients across the lifespan, from children through adults, though I especially enjoy working with young adults as they work through relationships, identity, and major life transitions. My background includes supporting clients through trauma, grief and loss, mood-related concerns such as depression and anxiety, and challenges related to self-esteem and body image.

You don't have to keep carrying the weight of what happened to you. Healing is possible.

Hi, I'm Rachel, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who specializes in helping adults heal from trauma, PTSD, anxiety, and the lasting effects of difficult life experiences.

Many of my clients come to me feeling exhausted. They've spent years trying to push through painful memories, quiet their anxiety, or make sense of experiences that continue to affect their relationships, confidence, sleep, or ability to feel like themselves. Some have tried therapy before but still feel stuck. Others have never talked about what happened because it simply felt too overwhelming.

Wherever you are in your journey, you don't have to face it alone.

As a therapist trained in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART®), I offer an evidence-based approach that can help reduce the emotional impact of traumatic memories—often in fewer sessions than traditional talk therapy. One of the things many clients appreciate most about ART® is that you don't have to describe every painful detail of your trauma to experience meaningful healing. Together, we'll work toward helping you feel less overwhelmed by the past so you can be more present in your life today.

I believe therapy should be a place where you feel genuinely seen, heard, and accepted. My style is warm, compassionate, and collaborative, and I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental environment where healing can happen at a pace that feels comfortable for you.

Imagine waking up without constantly feeling on edge. Imagine memories no longer having the same emotional grip on you. Imagine feeling more like yourself again. That kind of change is possible, and it would be an honor to help you get there.

If you're ready to begin your healing journey, I'd love to walk alongside you.
