My name is NIchole Hood and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist specializing in sex therapy for the past 13 years. Sex therapy is a form of counseling or “talk therapy” conducted in an open, relaxing, and therapeutic environment with the goal of helping clients deal with sexual concerns that may impede the path to optimal sexual health and satisfaction. I am also trained to conduct sex therapy with a spiritually-sensitive lens, if desired.
One of my favorite words in the English language is “apricity”, meaning “the warmth of the sun in winter”. That is what I aim to help clients achieve in their lives and relationships. One’s intimate connections may have grown cold from hurt, betrayal, lack of intimacy, or maybe just the busyness or natural transitions of life, blocking out the warmth that had once been there. Because of the myriad of issues that can impact sexual concerns, I welcome each client as a unique individual—I will listen to your story to clarify the issues and develop a specialized treatment plan to help rekindle the fire and bring some warmth to those cold places.

Hi! My name is Gail, and I have worked with children, individuals and families for almost two decades! I love working with all populations, but I especially love helping people who are struggling with inner woundedness left over from childhood trauma. I love the healing process, and I appreciate supporting clients as they work through their struggles, heal their childhood wounds, show up authentically as they are, and connect more deeply with their children, their partners, and themselves. I would be honored to help you through the healing process and partner with you on your path to joy and self-discovery. I especially enjoy working with young to middle aged women, because I have been through all those transitions- from high school and college graduation, job changes, dating, friendships, self-discovery, and finally marriage, pregnancy, and raising children. My specialties include being a Certified Trauma Professional (CTP) an understanding of the Enneagram (I'm a certified teacher/professional through several schools) as well as conscious parenting- I am certified coach (CPC) by Dr. Shefali Tsabary. I consider myself a "human potentialist." I believe in my clients; I believe in their ability to create goals, experience profound growth, and create positive and lasting changes. I would appreciate any client who seeks me out for therapy to be open to looking inward, embracing their full potential, and have some open mindedness towards the Enneagram, since I refer to it in my work.
