Hi, I'm Chris! I've been practicing since 2016 and have worked with a variety of clients such as domestic violence survivors, human trafficking survivors, people with anger issues, individuals in difficult relationships, people who are depressed, people who have anxiety, individuals with PTSD, individuals in jails and prisons, and people who just aren't sure of where to turn to for help.

Congratulations on taking the first step towards prioritizing your mental health and wellbeing. Finding the right provider is paramount to your therapeutic success. In any professional relationship, it is crucial to find "your person". Think about your hair stylist or barber, you wouldn't go to just anyone; the same idea applies for your mental health providers. I feel honored to be a part of the healing process that comes along with helping my clients reach their full potential. My ideal client is someone who is motivated to dive deep into self-discovery with my guidance. Learning more about oneself is the magic ingredient in a successful counseling outcome. My areas of expertise are working with teens and adults with anxiety, depression, grief or loss, life transitions, and family conflict. All too often in our society, our pets are unrecognized as a loss. As a fur mama I am here to tell you, they are significant losses. A few other major, overlooked losses I like to shine light on are ended relationships, miscarriages, loss of health and/or abilities. Therapy can significantly help in your healing process. You deserve to be happy and feel like you again. ​

Hi there, I'm Betty. Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, or major life changes? Maybe you're experiencing a lack of healthy boundaries in relationships or aren't living the life you were meant to lead. Whatever your needs, I am an experienced licensed mental health counselor who works with those struggling with relationship issues, grief, trauma, mood disorders, boundaries, anxiety, depression, daily life struggles etc. Therapy is a process of growth and self-discovery. Transformation and healing are obtained by developing a positive outlook and the adoption of new attitudes and responses. My purpose as a therapist is to help you along the path to a functional and fulfilling life. Whether the obstacles to achieving this goal are habits and behaviors you want to change, relationship issues, or present and past traumas. We will work together to develop a comprehensive plan to alleviate or minimize stressors and struggles. The goal is to move in positive directions while establishing healthy coping skills. There are many reasons that a person may seek counseling. Facing hardships in life can be very difficult, especially when trying to navigate them alone. Letting others into our pain and circumstances can be scary. It can also be a time for immense growth. Therapy can provide both support and hope as you work towards a greater sense of wholeness and healing. I enjoy helping people gain a greater sense of identity and purpose through a creative, emotionally focused, and experiential approach to therapy. Whether dealing with overwhelm, relationship issues or cycles of anxiety and depression, I'm here to help. Seeking therapy can feel scary but you're making the right choice. You deserve a safe space to heal and grow. I'll meet you with compassion and evidence-based techniques so you can overcome any challenges and barriers holding you back. Let's work together!

You’ve achieved a lot—but lately, it feels like something is holding you back. Maybe you’re overwhelmed by emotions you can’t explain, or quietly carrying a weight from your past that no longer fits the life you’re building. High-functioning doesn’t always mean fulfilled—and you’re ready to change that. I help ambitious, self-aware individuals break free from emotional blocks, old narratives, and burnout cycles. Whether you feel stuck in overthinking, disconnected from your joy, or like you’re constantly pushing but never arriving, our work together will get to the root of it. We’ll release what no longer serves you, recalibrate your inner compass, and build the mindset and habits that align with the life you actually want to live. Think: deeper self-trust, emotional clarity, and the confidence to show up fully—no more shrinking, no more autopilot. You’re not here to settle. You’re here to evolve. Let’s unlock the version of you that’s been waiting on the other side of this growth.

You deserve to feel well and live your most authentic life. I provide tools to help you embrace a deeper understanding of yourself, strengthen your coping mechanisms, improve your mood, and thrive with increased daily functioning, self-efficacy, self-esteem, self-awareness, and authentic self-expression. When life feels overwhelming, our minds can convince us that we are alone in our daily challenges and during our most difficult times. We get used to handling it on our own. I believe there is a better way. Working with a psychotherapist who can deeply connect with where you are on your healing journey can be transformative. Transformation might look like addressing symptoms, resolving a problem, or seeking something more. By guiding you to deeper insights and clearer understandings, together, we are better able to confront the barriers that may be holding you back from the life you want to live.

Our current political and economic climates give many causes for concern. It can affect daily life, such as work, home, school, and social circles, essentially taking the fun out of what was once pleasurable. The same things that DO seem to help can eventually cause more pain. Who can you talk to when no one is listening? It would be helpful to have someone to talk to who can be objective, non-judgmental, and open-minded...but who could that be? Hello, I'm Montavious. What sets me apart is an ear for listening, a guiding approach, and an interest in helping you to overcome these obstacles. Join me by scheduling an appointment for a fitting. No one cares what you know unless they KNOW that you care! Contact me now to find out how!

What effect do you hope that therapy will have on your life? Are you looking for someone to support you in difficult times? Is it your goal to thrive, rather than just survive? Perhaps you want to explore past events and see how they might be affecting your present. My name is Teresa, and I would be honored to walk with you as you navigate life. I work with individuals who have taken on the role of caregiver, whether professional or personal, in avoiding burnout and compassion fatigue. I empower others in creating and enforcing boundaries. I also assist individuals in cultivating a strong sense of self-worth. I guide individuals who are processing trauma and provide support and care. I support individuals of all races, ethnicities, sexual orientations, gender identities, and religions. I am nonjudgmental and supportive of individuals who are in any stage of recovery from substances or any other addictions. I hope to create a genuine, caring environment (yes, even in teletherapy!) exhibiting acceptance and celebration of who you truly are.

Are you wondering if your drug or alcohol use is becoming a problem? Or maybe you know it is, but feel powerless to stop. Perhaps your struggle looks different—binge eating, compulsive spending, sabotaging your success at work or in relationships. These self-destructive patterns can take many forms, but they often have one thing in common: they feel automatic, inescapable, and deeply frustrating. These behaviors may seem like choices, but they often serve a hidden purpose—keeping you safe in the familiar, avoiding painful emotions, or preserving a status quo that no longer serves you. Over time, they can trap you in cycles of shame, regret, and hopelessness.
