Hello, and welcome! My name is Crystal, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) dedicated to helping individuals navigate life's challenges with compassion, authenticity, and evidence-based care. I am passionate about working with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, PTSD, and other life stressors. My goal is to provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard, valued, and empowered to explore your experiences at your own pace. Together, we will identify your strengths, develop effective coping strategies, and work toward meaningful, lasting change. Therapy is a collaborative process, and I believe every person deserves the opportunity to heal, grow, and live a life that aligns with their values. Whether you are working through past trauma, managing overwhelming emotions, or facing difficult life transitions, I am committed to helping you build resilience, establish healthy boundaries, strengthen self-confidence, and create realistic goals that support your long-term well-being. My approach is personalized to meet your unique needs because no two individuals share the same journey. I strive to create a welcoming environment where you can safely process challenges, celebrate progress, and develop the tools needed to become the healthiest and most authentic version of yourself. Taking the first step toward therapy can feel overwhelming, but you do not have to face life's challenges alone. I would be honored to walk alongside you as you move toward healing, personal growth, and a more fulfilling future.

I am an LPCC from Kentucky, I graduated with my Masters degree from WKU. I have been practicing therapy early on from internship to my LPCA, my LPCC, and soon I will be able to gain my supervisor credential and become an LPCC-S. I attempt to balance an empathetic approach with a scientific approach to therapy as I think it is important to view situations and client cases from both perspectives rather than only one. I like to remove rigid stereotypes of therapy and approach it with a more holistic and casual approach, again, with that added scientific foundation.

Do you feel anxious, overwhelmed, or emotionally exhausted? Are you struggling with depression, carrying the weight of past trauma, or wondering if you’ll ever feel like yourself again? If you’ve spent years people-pleasing, doubting yourself, or wondering whether you’re “good enough,” you don’t have to face it alone. I specialize in helping adults heal from anxiety, depression, and trauma. As an EMDR-trained therapist, I use evidence-based approaches to help you move beyond simply managing symptoms and begin healing the experiences that continue to impact your life today. Together, we’ll explore what’s underneath the anxiety, guilt, sadness, or emotional heaviness you’ve been carrying so you can reconnect with yourself and move forward with confidence. My goal is to help you rediscover your worth, set healthy boundaries without guilt, and create a life that feels authentic and meaningful. With over 14 years of experience, including extensive work with survivors of trauma, I bring compassion, honesty, and authenticity into every session. You are the expert on your own life, and my role is to provide a safe, supportive space where healing can happen and where you can begin believing that you are enough, just as you are.

Hello. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who has been practicing for over 20 years. I work with adults, couples, and families including children, and adolescents. My goal is to work with each person individually from a person-centered perspective. I want you to feel that you are in control of your progress by identifying your needs and focusing on your strengths . My specialties include depression, anxiety, relationship issues, behavioral challenges, post-partum depression, parenting, chronic illness, and grief. I am available to see clients in Kentucky in-person or telehealth, and Michigan or Minnesota via telehealth. The person centered approach means that the client is the center of everything from the initial assessment, to the development of the goals, to the treatment that is provided. It is important that you know you are accepted and with therapy you are able to address the concerns you have and learn to effectively work through them. I understand therapy can feel uncomfortable and the thought of sharing yourself with someone you don't know (yet) can be overwhelming. Give me a call and we can talk for an initial conversation to see if it will be a good fit.

I have always been passionate about trauma work and my experience has only reinforced this passion. While I’ve worked with a wide variety of symptoms, presenting issues, and individuals, the one common theme that I've noticed is most, if not all, of these individuals have trauma. I’m also a practical person. I believe that, if trauma is at the root of your anxiety, relationship issues, addiction, sleep issues, low self-esteem, etc, then working to heal that past trauma makes the most sense in getting symptom relief.

I work with a variety of individuals and have an extensive background working in the field of addiction and recovery; and currently work with individuals navigating the stressors of everyday life, anxiety, relationship challenges, and the many constant demands of today's world that I believe affect all of us on multiple levels. I work with clients who are often high-functioning on the outside but may feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected internally. I'm human alongside you and I too know what it feels like to feel stuck or simply like there's a bigger gap between the version of ourself we imagine and the one we feel we can access at times. My approach is both supportive and practical and I aim to create an environment where you feel seen, understood, and capable of being honest both with me and with yourself. I find when people can simply breathe out in a safe space, they feel more able to fully develop the tools and insight necessary to create the lasting change they seek. I value authenticity in the therapy process and meet clients where they are, whether they are coming in for short-term, immediate support or deeper, long-term work.

Hi, I’m Marie — a therapist who believes that change is always possible, no matter where you are in life. My goal is to help you feel better emotionally, think more clearly, and move toward a future that feels fulfilling and peaceful. In our sessions, we’ll work together to understand what’s been holding you back and find practical ways to move forward. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help you notice how your thoughts affect your emotions and actions—and teach you tools to shift negative thinking. I also use a solution-focused approach, which means we’ll focus on your strengths, celebrate what’s working, and create small, realistic steps that bring real progress. I often work with adults who are struggling with depression, anxiety, or major life changes—like adjusting after a loss, a new diagnosis, or changes that come with getting older. My approach is supportive and empowering. I want you to feel heard, encouraged, and equipped with the tools to handle life’s challenges with more confidence and hope.

My name is Swan Roberts. I am a licensed therapist, LCSW (licensed clinical social worker). I love helping people through my work and I have been doing this for 6 years. I decided to become a therapist because I had a therapist that helped me ease through the transition of getting out medically from active duty army service, which inspired me to follow this career path. It takes courage to make the decision of facing the things that are causing you turmoil, including trauma, and I am glad you are here. I look forward to meeting you and help you transform your life through healing evidence based interventions: EMDR, IFS, SE, & CBT. After trauma, you may be overthinking, hypervigilant, anxious in relationships, struggling with people pleasing, and not feeling confident or competent even if you can rationalize that you are. With EMDR, IFS, and SE, I can help you trust yourself and feel more calm believing your resiliency and strength, to live your life fully. It is truly rewarding helping people heal from trauma, to see their lives, and relationships transform as symptoms of PTSD, anxiety, depression, and bipolar disorder are replaced by confidence, security, empathy, and compassion. It is possible to heal and enjoy your life again, even for the first time.

Hey hey y'all! I'm Dara and a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with five years of experience, I specialize in helping individuals from all walks of life, ranging from young children to adults. My current work as a school-based therapist allows me to focus on children from Pre-K to 5th grade, where I am passionate about guiding students through challenges and helping them develop emotional and social resilience. I also hold a certificate in play therapy, which I integrate into my work with children to provide them with an engaging, therapeutic space to express themselves. In addition to my work with children, I have experience supporting clients through significant life transitions, such as the move from high school to college or from college to the workforce. I also work with women navigating relationship challenges and building self-esteem. As someone who is neurodivergent, I have a personal understanding of the unique challenges that come with neurodiversity, and I am committed to helping others develop strategies for managing these challenges in their lives. I strive to create a warm, supportive environment where clients can explore their thoughts and feelings and work toward their goals with confidence and self-compassion.

Hello. I'm Joseph. Do you feel so anxious it is hard to leave the house in the morning? Do you feel so depressed and sad that it is hard to get out of bed in the morning? Anxiety and depression are common. You are not alone in feeling this way. I help people who struggle to deal with the stresses of life. Working together, we can identify what causes your depression and anxiety and work to find solutions which will make life easier for you. It is all about finding balance. My experience allows me to help you deal with your stress, relationship issues, anxiety, trauma, or depression. Some people worry about what others will think if they seek out therapy.

It is a safe place where you can talk about whatever is on your mind and know that everything is confidential.

Walking with people through life's difficulties and struggles is a privileged, honor, and part of my purpose in life. I commit my life to helping people find their way back to the right paths that they want to be on to live out their purpose. Hi! My name is Lana and I have been a LCSW since 2011. I have experience working with children, adolescents, adults, and families. I specialize in issues of adjustment, trauma, depression, anxiety, crisis, grief, child and adolescent behaviors, and sexual abuse. I also have experience with talking with individuals with mood and personality disorders, PTSD, and issues surrounding divorce. On a more personal level, I enjoy traveling and refer to myself as a coffee connoisseur. I also have two small dogs that think they run the world and like to introduce themselves from time to time in my sessions. I always have a plan but I believe some of life's greatest adventures are in taking the scenic route.
