I’m Laura, a licensed therapist with 13 years of experience helping adults navigate life transitions, stress, and personal growth. I work with athletes, college students, new parents, and adults who want support managing challenges, building resilience, and finding balance. My approach is grounded, practical, and compassionate, drawing on my professional training as well as real-life experience. I create a safe space where clients feel heard, understood, and supported.
I grew up in Boise, Idaho and earned a Bachelor of Science in Psychology and a Master's Degree in Social Work from Boise State University, along with a Master's in Public Administration from the University of Alabama at Birmingham.
I have worked in inpatient, outpatient, and with in-home services and I love learning families’ and individuals’ strengths and helping meet others along their growth paths.
With over 20 years of experience in the mental health field, I've had the privilege of working across a wide range of treatment settings, including acute care, non-acute care, residential treatment, and outpatient therapy. I work with adolescents and adults and have experience providing individual and couples therapy.
My primary areas of focus include relationship counseling using the Gottman Method, chronic pain and chronic illness through Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT), addiction treatment informed by the work of Dr. Carl Hart, and Borderline Personality Disorder using Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT).
In addition to these specialty areas, I frequently help clients navigate anxiety, panic attacks, depression, life transitions, adjustment disorders, parenting challenges, workplace stress, and the everyday demands that can leave us all feeling overwhelmed!
Hi! I'm so glad you're here. I have been a LPC-MHSP in TN for over 2 years, and have a long history of mental health training and experience prior to that. I have lived all over - Guam, NE, CO, IL - and bring my love for learning and connecting with people to each aspect of my life. With curiosity and empathy I have been able to grow my professional experiences to include practicing in community mental health settings, inpatient hospitals, collaborative care environments, and now in private practice. I enjoy the freedom and autonomy in which private practice offers, as it allows me to meet each client where they are and adjust our treatment goals as needed.
Hi, I’m Becca.
Reaching out for mental health care can feel like a big step. Once you’re here, it shouldn’t have to feel hard. You don’t need to have the right words or know exactly what you need. We can figure that out together.
I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with a doctorate in nursing, and I work with children, teens, and adults navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood disorders, life transitions, neurodivergence, and the complicated stuff that doesn’t always fit neatly into a diagnostic box.
I provide psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and supportive therapy. More than anything, I believe good mental health care starts with actually listening to you. I want to know what’s working, what isn’t, what you’ve already tried, and what you want your life to feel like.
You are more than a diagnosis, and your care should feel that way.
Starting therapy is a big step, and if you've made it this far, you're doing an amazing job. You've recognized that you need assistance navigating life, and I'm here to help you understand yourself better. I work with adults struggling with depression, anxiety, substance abuse, perinatal mental health, self-esteem, and other conditions.
I've always been told I'm easy to talk to, and I have a deep desire to help people become the best versions of themselves. I love seeing my clients gain confidence and become empowered to not only survive, but to thrive and become truly comfortable in their skin. Together, we can get you to your happy place.
I’m a dual certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner who provides thoughtful, individualized medication management for anxiety, depression, and mood-related concerns. I understand how overwhelming it can feel when your mind isn’t working the way you want it to. I specialize in mood disorders, ADHD, addiction, anxiety and PTSD across the lifespan
I am a LCSW with over 20 years of experience who works with clients as a partner in their healing journey. I have a PhD in Public Affairs with a social work emphasis, and teach issues of ethics, working with complex cases and use of technology. My background is diverse including working in community mental health, hospice and end of life care, oncology and medical issues, as well as working with gender and sexual minorities.
Hi! My name is Amanda, I graduated with my Masters in Family Therapy from Drexel University in 2016. Since then, I have worked with a variety of individuals, couples, and families. I am trained in family systems therapy, collaborative problem solving, acceptance and commitment therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and emotion-focused therapy, as well as several other treatment modalities.
I am licensed clinical social worker offering therapy services that are tailored to the individual needs of each client. I am a proud Army Veteran, who served as a mental health provider to over 1500 soldiers in Kuwait. I have worked extensively in the Veteran and LGBTQ+ community.
I am passionate about improving mental health. My approach to therapy is both caring and compassionate, focused on helping clients identify and address their personal goals.
