I have worked in mental health in a variety of settings for the past 20 years. My practice is evidenced based. I have experience working with children and adults. As a nurse practitioner, my primary focus is medication management.

I'm Kat Paris, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, specializing in the treatment of OCD, anxiety disorders, depressive disorders, and body-focused repetitive behaviors. For over five years, I've worked extensively with individuals experiencing OCD and anxiety in a variety of care settings. I specialize in Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), the gold-standard treatment for OCD. My approach also integrates other evidence-based therapies, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Habit Reversal Training (HRT) for skin picking, hair pulling, and other body-focused repetitive behaviors, and Behavioral Activation to help individuals experiencing depression reconnect with activities that bring purpose and fulfillment. My goal is to provide compassionate, evidence-based care in a collaborative environment where you'll gain the tools and confidence to overcome challenges and reconnect with what matters most.

Hello there, my name is Josie! I enjoy being a therapist because I have experienced the benefits of therapy myself, I enjoy working with people, and I believe life is worth living, but sometimes we need an extra person in our corner to help us navigate the ups and downs of this life.

I bring over a decade of professional experience to therapy along with my own life experiences, empathy, understanding, and hopefully a little humor along the way.

While my license is as a Marriage and Family Therapist, I strive to live my own life as authentically and intentionally as I can as a parent, family member, and friend; and I bring those same values into the therapy room.

I believe every person has a story worth telling and deserves to feel heard without judgment. It is truly an honor to witness the strength and resilience my clients possess, and I never take for granted the trust they place in me by allowing me to be part of their journey.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Board Certified Life Coach with 30 years of professional clinical experience. I have worked in both outpatient and inpatient programs developing and leading mental health programs. I have owned a private successful practice since 2010 that was initiated to help people thrive through life's challenges. I was drawn to this field by a deep interest in human behavior transformative impact of helping others thrive and navigate through challenges that created lasting positive change.

I specialize in a variety of treatment approaches serving men and women. Let me support you in navigating difficult transitions tailoring your treatment to meet your needs.

Welcome! I’m Kristin Petersen, MSW, LICSW, and I’ve been a psychotherapist for more than 13 years. I primarily work with women and individuals who are navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, life transitions, and the many pressures that can leave you feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected from yourself.

My experience includes working with children, adolescents, and adults from a wide range of backgrounds and cultures. I’ve supported clients through both everyday challenges and more complex concerns, including trauma, co-occurring conditions, behavioral concerns, and significant life changes. I believe your experiences, relationships, culture, and personal history all matter when understanding what you are going through.

My approach is warm, collaborative, and honest. I won’t simply tell you what you “should” do. Instead, we’ll work together to understand what’s happening, identify patterns that may be keeping you stuck, and develop practical strategies that fit your life. I draw from cognitive and person-centered approaches and incorporate solution-focused strategies to help you build insight while also making meaningful changes.

Therapy is a place where you can be honest without fear of judgment. Whether you’re starting therapy for the first time or returning because something in your life no longer feels manageable, my goal is to help you feel heard, understood, and supported while developing the tools and confidence to move forward.

You don’t have to have everything figured out before you begin. We can start exactly where you are.

I've worked as a therapist for over 20 years. It is such an honor to be invited into people's vulnerable and hopeless places in their story. Through our work together I get to watch them learn, grow and overcome their obstacles to living well. It is such beautiful work!

I love working with clients who want to integrate their faith into the therapy process.

Since opening my private practice in 2023, I have been committed to helping clients build resilience, navigate life’s challenges, and improve their overall well-being.
