Hello! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Kentucky. Life is full of change and transitions. We can't always control the events in our lives, but we can choose how we respond to them.

Hi, I’m Lynde, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I’ve spent over a decade helping people work through tough seasons and find their way back to themselves. I support clients dealing with anxiety, substance use, trauma, and big life changes. I’ve worked in the addiction field for 14 years, so I understand that change isn’t just about stopping a behavior—it’s about understanding what’s underneath it. Whether you’re struggling with substance use, food, body image, or feeling stuck in patterns, we’ll work together to make sense of it in a way that feels manageable and real. My experience in a Level I trauma center has also shaped how I show up for clients, especially those in high-stress roles like healthcare, first response, or caregiving.

I don’t want therapy to be a mystery—I want you to understand what we’re doing and why, so you can apply what you learn outside of therapy. My role is to help you develop the understanding and skills to navigate life with greater confidence and independence.

Welcome, I am glad you're here. Reaching out for help can be scary and I applaud you taking this first step. My approach with therapy is to provide a space where you feel comfortable being yourself, where you can talk openly, feel heard and begin to work through what has been weighing on you. I see therapy as a collaborative effort to find what works for you to feel stronger, more balanced and ultimately, more connected to what matters most to you in a world that often seems "un-connected". I have worked in the field of social work for over 20 years. I have been working at the Masters level for the last 9. I have had the privilege of supporting individuals and families through a wide range of challenges. My professional background includes work in hospitals, nursing facilities, home health and hospice care, where I provided compassionate support to individuals coping with aging, illness, grief and major life transitions. My experience also includes supporting families involved in protective services, working with families navigating difficult circumstances. Across all settings, my focus has remained on providing client-centered care while helping individuals and families build stability, resilience, and hope. I have both a Bachelors and a Masters in Social Work. In my lifetime I have been a daughter, sister, partner, wife, mother (to both human and fur baby) and friend.

Being a native of a small town, I understand the challenges these communities face in gaining quality mental health care.

Through all these experiences I have gained a vast understanding and knowledge of challenges individuals and families face. I want to continue this journey by providing private individual therapy services. I seek to provide compassionate, client-centered counseling to individuals and families in communities. I seek to help individuals and families grow strong roots by encouraging clients to explore and utilize resources in their communities including family, friends, and faith-based services. I seek to help people address issues they are experiencing such as depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, and relational challenges. I will meet each client where they are and help them work through past and current pain to build a more balanced and manageable life. My goal is to support individuals and families in building healthier, more resilient lives across generations. My personal passion is to strengthen communities by increasing access to compassionate, high quality mental health care.

Hi there! I’m SaMika. Many people see therapy as a one-sided conversation in which the “expert” talks to you and tells you what to do. What is the joy in that? I find joy in working with other experts to create solutions to great change- and guess what? You are the expert on YOU. I believe one of the bravest things someone can do is work to understand their own story. Whether it is healing from the past, managing the present or preparing for the future; with a collaborative, holistic approach, I want to help you achieve whatever life changes you desire to live the life you feel you deserve. Seeking a therapist can be a bit intimidating, but you have already taken the first step! I hope you will take a moment, reach out and see how I can help. Let’s work together!
