Life can be overwhelming. As your therapist, I can help you deal with life's changes without judgement. My goal is to assist you with enhancing your life and discovering your purpose.

I have a passion for helping those in need find their inner strength and resilience. We all have it within us to find solutions to our problems; sometimes we just need some guidance. I offer an integrative, client-centered approach to counseling. I place considerable value in building a strong therapeutic relationship. Just one small step is all it takes to begin the process of change. Whatever is going on, let's explore together!!!

With a strong foundation in both social work and law enforcement, I bring a compassionate, grounded, and practical perspective to therapy. I hold both a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in Social Work and spent eight years in law enforcement, primarily working patrol. This experience gave me the opportunity to support individuals and families during some of the most challenging and vulnerable moments of their lives.

Through my professional work—and my own lived experiences with critical and traumatic incidents—I developed a deep commitment to helping others heal from trauma. I specialize in trauma-focused therapy and work with individuals navigating life’s challenges, processing difficult past experiences, and building resilience for the future.

My approach blends clinical expertise with real-world understanding to create a space that is supportive, nonjudgmental, and genuine. I strive to ensure clients feel heard, respected, and empowered throughout the therapeutic process. Whether you are working through trauma, adjusting to life transitions, or seeking healthier coping strategies, I aim to help you gain clarity, strengthen your inner resources, and move forward with confidence. I’m here to support you every step of the way on your path toward healing and personal growth.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who is passionate about working with women and children, providing a compassionate and supportive space to navigate emotional challenges, build coping skills, and foster growth. My approach blends warmth with a multitude of practices to meet each client where they are. I believe every individual brings unique strengths, experiences, and hopes into therapy, and that growth can look different for everyone, from finding small moments of joy to navigating life’s most difficult losses.

My goal is to help you reconnect with yourself, recognize your potential, and move forward with greater clarity and compassion. Even in challenging seasons, I believe there is always space for hope, healing, and possibility.

I work with adults navigating trauma, anxiety, panic, depression, grief, identity concerns, and major life transitions. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, stuck, emotionally exhausted, or unsure how to keep carrying everything on their own.

My approach is affirming, trauma-informed, and grounded in practical tools. I aim to create a space where you feel safe, respected, and supported as we work toward greater calm, clarity, and stability. Therapy with me is collaborative, compassionate, and focused on helping you move forward in ways that feel meaningful and sustainable.

I have worked in a variety of settings working with clients of all ages but my area of primary focus has been families and children. I have worked in a community mental health center, in child protection and in school social work/counseling. I was director of a domestic violence program and also led a treatment program for adolescent sex offenders. My therapeutic style is to develop a partnership with my clients to help them improve their lives.

As a dual-licensed mental health professional in Kentucky, I bring over 20 years of experience in clinical counseling and substance use treatment. My approach is warm, collaborative, and tailored to meet you exactly where you are. I specialize in supporting individuals facing anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, and addiction, helping them move forward with resilience and confidence.

I am an EMDRIA-trained EMDR therapist and integrate a variety of evidence-based approaches, including CBT, DBT, EMDR, Motivational Interviewing, Seeking Safety, and Living in Balance. This allows me to create a treatment plan unique to your story, fostering healing, growth, and lasting change.

My practice is grounded in authenticity, hope, and compassion. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or ready to begin a new chapter, you don’t have to go through it alone. I offer both in-person and online sessions, along with a complimentary 15-minute consultation so you can feel informed and comfortable before we begin.

Take the step toward reclaiming your life you deserve it.

I bring a comprehensive background in healthcare and social services, with experience spanning a wide range of specialties and care settings. My work has included oncology, dementia care and caregiver support, geriatric evaluation, and primary care coordination. I have also provided services in adult day programs, nursing homes, home health, emergency rooms, and programs supporting individuals experiencing homelessness or serious mental illness.

In addition, I have supported clients dealing with depression, anxiety, sleep issues, substance use, and grief, always with a focus on person-centered, compassionate care. My experience extends to the Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE), where I’ve helped older adults maintain their independence and quality of life. I also have strong supervisory experience and a commitment to promoting collaborative, holistic approaches to well-being.

Hello! I am a warm and welcoming therapist with a doctorate in clinical social work. I use cognitive-behavioral techniques, along with acceptance and commitment therapy, to guide you along your chosen path. I work with people who are living complicated lives, along with past trauma, toxic relationships, occupational uncertainty, and a need to solve psychosocial problems. I hope you will give therapy a chance to work! See you soon!

With over 25 years of experience as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating grief and loss, life transitions, chronic illness, trauma (including first responders), aging-related concerns, and members of the agricultural and farming communities.

I provide telehealth services across multiple states, I’m here to support you on your journey toward healing and growth.

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.

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 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.

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 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.
