Supporting You Through Stress, Loss, and the Pressure to Hold It All Together. Sometimes life feels like too much, like your mind won’t stop racing, or you’re carrying more than you can handle alone. Maybe you’re grieving or just trying to keep control in a world that is unpredictable. You push yourself hard, holding yourself to impossible standards, and anything less than perfect feels like failure. Or maybe you swing between burning out completely and shutting down. Navigating all of this can feel lonely and exhausting which is why having support matters.

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor (CAADC), and EMDR-trained therapist. I hold a Master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling with a concentration in Child and Adolescent Counseling. But more than credentials, what I bring into the room is presence. I specialize in working with anxiety, trauma, identity development, substance use concerns, and life transitions. I work with individuals ages 10 and up, and my approach is warm, collaborative, and deeply relational. I use evidence-based approaches, including EMDR and trauma-informed practices, but therapy with me never feels clinical or cold. It feels like conversation, exploration, and sometimes gentle challenge.

I have been practicing since 2014 and have worked in a variety of contexts within the scope of therapy- ranging from children, couple's work, adults, teenagers, and the aging population. I deliver an authentic approach to therapy that punctuates the importance of the relationship between client and therapist as the primary mechanism for change. I believe all clients deserve to be met with dignity and respect and try to convey that in sessions.

The journey of healing begins with a strong therapeutic alliance based on trust and mutual respect. My worldview and core values determine my approach to therapy and engaging with you. I strongly believe in a holistic approach to therapy: I consider the art and science of healing to support the whole person – body, mind, and spirit. I have decades of rich and varied life experiences which inform my practice. I have worked in schools with children as an educator with a great understanding of human development, I am a grass-roots level community development social worker and a mental health clinician in community behavioral health.

My work is rooted in trauma-informed, culturally responsive care. I believe healing happens in spaces where people feel safe, seen, and empowered to reclaim their stories. I draw from narrative, attachment-based, and experiential approaches to support clients in understanding patterns, processing difficult experiences, and building more secure, fulfilling relationships. My style is collaborative, holistic, and grounded in deep respect for each person’s resilience, identity, and capacity for growth.

I’m a licensed clinical social worker who works with adults navigating grief, trauma, major life changes, and the emotional weight that often comes with them.

My approach is compassionate, practical, and grounded in helping people better understand their experiences while building tools that make daily life feel more manageable.

I am Michaela Trimble, a Licensed Professional Counselor with over two decades of clinical experience dedicated to helping individuals navigate the complexities of modern stress, anxiety, sleep disorders, and persistent low mood. My practice is specifically designed for high-achievers who find that despite their professional success, they are struggling with persistent mental fog and physical depletion. I am fully certified in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and hold a specialized focus in CBT-I (Insomnia), offering a clinical, non-medication-based path to truly restorative sleep. Clinical Philosophy I believe that meaningful change happens when we bridge the gap between understanding a problem and actively solving it. My 20 years in the field have taught me that while "venting" provides temporary emotional relief, targeted cognitive restructuring provides a permanent cure. Our sessions are a collaborative, peer-like partnership where we work to dismantle the invisible barriers—such as "catastrophizing" and "what-if" thinking—that drain your daily energy. We don't just explore your past; we build a concrete toolkit for your future. Who I Best Serve The Chronic Non-Sleeper: If you’ve spent years dreading the night or relying on supplements to drift off, I help you reset your biological clock. We focus on breaking the "effort-sleep" cycle to make rest natural and automatic again. The Mental Strategist: I work with professionals who are excellent at solving everyone else’s problems but can’t seem to turn off their own internal critic. I provide a structured framework to stop the cycle of rumination and restore mental clarity. The Result-Oriented Client: My ideal client is someone ready for an evidence-based environment where measurable progress is the priority. If you are looking for a therapist who is as invested in your tangible growth as you are, we will be a great match.

I believe healing happens through both grit and grace — the courage to look honestly at what’s not working and the compassion to change without shame. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I specialize in trauma, substance use, and co-occurring mental health concerns, with a strong focus on emotional regulation and safety. My approach is collaborative, non-judgmental, and paced to you. I draw from trauma-informed care, Motivational Interviewing, and cognitive-behavioral strategies to help clients better understand their coping patterns, reduce reactivity, and build sustainable change. Therapy with me is not about forcing outcomes — it’s about creating safety, insight, and choice. ***If you require an evening appointment, only Wednesday time slots are available at this time***

Hello, I am Shana Toney, a Licensed Professional Counselor. Over my lifetime I have always worked in human services. It was gratifying to work with clients in their time of need and support them through the process. Many of the clients would say they felt comfortable talking to me and I listened to their needs. Those years of serving the community led me to become a therapist. Once I became a therapist 8 years ago, I found my passion. I love having the opportunity and freedom to work with clients, helping them figure things out, learn to create change in their lives and coping with situations they have no control over. Change is not easy but possible. My role as a therapist is to walk with clients to help create their change and happiness they desire.

Hello I often hear clients say, “I don’t even know where to start” when they first begin therapy. I understand that feeling. The first step is to make sense of what’s happened in your life in order to start to tackle the issues and ultimately make some changes. I am a seasoned therapist with 17 years experience helping adult clients find their own inner wisdom and strength to resolve issues in their lives. It feels burdensome to rely on friends and family to help us through difficult life challenges.
