Welcome. I’m a combat veteran and retired Army officer, Christian, husband, father, grandfather, and experienced clinical psychologist. I want to get into the root causes of your struggles or battle and find ways to overcome, change, forgive, accept, and move upward toward the light. It may not seem like it, but the darkness will eventually lift, and the light will surely shine again. Life is a battle in the heart, and I humbly accept that I will be in my own battle or someone else’s battle for the rest of my life. Like the weather, our emotions are powerful. Many days the sun shines, but the rains do come and sometimes a destructive storm hits hard (divorce, the loss of a loved one, cancer, suicidal thoughts, et cetera). It's a battlefield. When it comes to the challenge of relationships, so often, it is ego (wounded pride), self-esteem, and powerful emotions at the root of our conflicts. To understand these forces is the key to peace. Let's work through it! I have been honored to be in the field of psychology for 22 years since 2004. Through the years, more than half of my time was in the Army where I primarily worked with soldiers enduring anxiety, depression, trauma, Traumatic Brain Injury, and all the other usual suspects of psychological distress. It was a time well for the analysis of guilt, fear, worry, shame, pain, heartbreak, addiction, identity conflicts, and sorrow. I’ve also worked in the prisons for many years with some extreme situations (i.e., murder, severe mental illness, rape, child molestation, drug kingpins, gang leaders). So, no matter what your circumstances are, never quit and never give up! Survival is a noble plight!

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker for ten years now. You will always know yourself better than I can or will. From a philosophical and theoretical standpoint. I am overwhelming more of an attachment theorist, and have been known to use existentialism from time to time to help make sense of something. I guess the question that remains though is; can a butterfly flap it's wings in Brazil and cause a tornado in Kentucky, or are we all simply just products of our childhood and mirrors of our parents traumas? The duality of life. Attachment Theory vs. Chaos Theory. Both have value. I digress. My goal is to provide a petridish in which you can explore your self. Safe. Contained. Yet completely in your control. The paradox being, you likely already have what you need. I'll sit with you while you find it. I can give you my clinical opinion, or diagnosis, and recommendations along the way as well if you'd like that. I can just sit and listen. I can play devils advocate. My job is to listen, empower, observe, and provide feedback when requested.

I'm Wanda. I identify as a Black queer masc of center woman. I’m here to be like your favorite Black Queer Auntie on the porch to process what’s been holding you back to get you moving forward. I love working with BIPOC and queer people and couples. We can sip tea together or play a video game to get to the same goal. Counseling or coaching are options for getting you on your way.

Hello, my name is Ginger Van Meter. I look at each individual as an iceberg! There's a tiny piece of ice you can see on the surface but down below and much deeper is a giant piece of ice that no one can see. That giant piece of ice represents all the stressors, emotional and mental health concerns that go back many years. Sometimes childhood trauma or even current events can create problems that we just can't seem to solve. I will help you to break that ice down and possibly even melt the ice. I always strive to do the best I can do to provide relief and comfort and help life become more manageable.

Every woman deserves to feel powerful in her own life. We forget how strong, resilient, and deeply worthy we really are, whether you're in the thick of new motherhood, grieving a loss that changed everything, running on empty, or simply tired of feeling like you're not enough. Wherever you are, you are already enough. And I'm here to help you see it, feel it, and reclaim it. Hey there! I'm a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor Supervisor (LPCC-S) with over 12 years of experience dedicated to supporting and empowering women through life's transitions-because life is always life-ing. My specialty is perinatal mental health. As a certified Perinatal Mental Health Specialist (PMH-C) through Postpartum Support International, I walk alongside women through pregnancy, postpartum, the fourth trimester, traumatic birth, and loss-the seasons that change you in ways no one fully prepares you for. I support women navigating: Perinatal and postpartum depression and anxiety Perinatal OCD and traumatic birth Mother and infant attachment Parenting in recovery Pregnancy and infant loss and grief The fog of depression, anxiety, or stress blocking your path back to yourself Burnout from expectations you never should have carried alone Compassion fatigue — for the helpers, healers, and caretakers who pour from an empty cup Grief of a person, relationship, lifestyle, or a version of yourself Life. The deep, bone-tired desire to stop surviving and start healing Fresh endings and new beginnings This is an inclusive, affirming space that celebrates all backgrounds, identities, and family structures. You belong here-exactly as you are.

Hey, I'm Melanie. I 've been practicing since 1998 and believe that a strong therapeutic relationship is one of the most important factors for successful therapy. My style is warm, genuine, and down to earth. I strive to create a space where clients feel comfortable being themselves, knowing that they'll be treated with respect and without judgement. While I provide lots of support and encouragement, I also am willing to ask difficult questions and offer honest feedback when it's helpful.
