Life is full of change, and sometimes those changes can feel overwhelming. I believe there is no single “right way” to handle life’s challenges, which is why I take a person-centered and integrative approach to therapy. My goal is to help you feel supported and more at ease with where you are while working toward where you want to be.
Over the past 10 years, I’ve gained experience with a wide range of approaches including expressive arts therapy, solution-focused therapy, mindfulness, yoga, nature-based practices, nutrition, and relationship work. I enjoy bringing creativity and flexibility into sessions so that we can find what works best for you. I have a strong background in helping clients with worry, low mood, and spiritual concerns, and I strive to create a space where you can feel comfortable exploring any challenge you’re facing.
I earned my Master’s in Social Work from Saint Leo University with a specialization in Advanced Clinical Practice. Before that, I completed a Bachelor of Arts in Interpersonal and Organizational Communication, with minors in Film and Creative Writing. My professional experience spans a variety of settings, including community health centers, private practice, child welfare, schools, nonprofits, and the Department of Veteran Affairs.
Outside of work, I enjoy traveling, spending time in nature, watching movies, and participating in the arts. I am also licensed in Utah and work with both insurance and cash-pay clients located in the state.
We all have things that we may struggle with from time to time, and it is important to find a professional that you can relate to when you need help. I enjoy helping people work through the difficulties of life, with a warm and non-judgmental attitude. My approach to therapy is laid-back and down to earth. Your sessions with me will very much be directed by you. Whatever brings you to therapy, know that it is my goal to partner with you and support you as you work toward healing, growth and wellness to sustain a healthy life with meaning and purpose.

Every client is unique and is facing their own distinctive challenges. Therefore each treatment plan should be personalized and individualized.

Hi, I’m Jessica. I provide a calm, steady space for adults feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck in overthinking. I work with individuals navigating life transitions, past experiences, or high-stress environments, including veterans and caregivers. Together, we focus on helping you feel more grounded, confident, and connected to yourself, so you can move forward with clarity and balance.
Many of my clients are capable, caring people who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, constant worry, or mental exhaustion. They may be navigating life transitions such as motherhood, relationship changes, career stress, or shifts in identity. I also work with veterans and individuals from high-stress environments who want a calm space to process and regain balance.

My name is Jeffrey, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Michigan, and a Licensed Social Worker and Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in Ohio. I have also been an ordained Lutheran pastor since 1989. My professional career began as an Associate Pastor in a Lutheran church in northwest Ohio, where I focused on youth ministry, Christian Education, and pastoral counseling. I entered Social Work in 1995 when I began work as a Family Worker in a residential facility for hard to place juvenile offenders, and then worked in a few outpatient counseling agencies providing mental health and substance use disorder services. I have experience working with people of all ages on general mental health issues, such as managing depression and anxiety, and have specialized in the areas of PTSD recovery and domestic violence and sexual abuse victims and offenders. Throughout my counseling career, I have maintained activity in ministry. I was trained in Clinical Pastoral Counseling and also have had training as a Spiritual Director.
My counseling approach is generally non-directive, using a combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing in a Solution Focused, Client Centered frame work. I can incorporate spirituality as much or as little as the client desires, from not referencing spirituality at all to fully engaging the spiritual dimension of life. As a caring, empathetic listener, people find it easy to talk with me and be open about what needs attention in their lives.
I look forward to working with you!
Hi :) I imagine you are here because things are not great. Perhaps, you would like to improve or change something, or maybe you just want to feel better or more comfortable in your skin.. I know it can be scary, but I believe it’s also brave. It takes courage to admit that you would like life to be different. I believe together we can get you to a place where life isn't so hard. During my 16 year career, I have been fortunate to have met wonderful people and together we have grown.
I view the therapeutic process through a person centered lens and as something we do together. I believe it is important to celebrate the small successes, and focus on progress, rather than perfection.
Welcome to my practice. I am dedicated to creating a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you can explore challenges, build on your strengths, and work toward meaningful change.

I am a licensed professional counselor with a master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, with experience working on a multitude of concerns including trauma, anxiety, depression, parenting, and couples counseling. I believe in creating a strong, trusting therapeutic environment where people feel comfortable, motivated, and not judged.

Every person is different, and you will have your own individualized therapy and plan that is tailored to your needs. I really enjoy helping others explore their own strengths, and I understand that sometimes it can be hard to put things into perspective. Sometimes that outside, non-judgmental assistance is what someone needs to get back on track or on a better track.
My name is Ta'Erra but most people just call me Tae.

I have had the chance to work with those experiencing mood disorders, relational issues, and trauma-related disorders. I have also worked with many who like to integrate their Christian beliefs into therapy. My goal is to help you understand the impact that life experiences have had on shaping how you see yourself, others, and the world. I use EMDR, Experiential Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Internal Family Systems.

Seeing this happen is why I am so passionate about mental health.

Together, we’ll explore patterns that may be keeping you stuck, build emotional resilience, and help you feel more grounded, confident, and aligned with the life you want to live.

Hi, I’m Dr. Gabrielle Reynolds, LISW-S – but you can call me Dr. Reynolds or just Gabrielle.
I’m so glad you’re here. I’m a licensed therapist with over 10 years of experience helping people work through life’s ups and downs. Whether that’s stress, anxiety, trauma, or just feeling stuck and unsure of what’s next.
I take a down-to-earth, supportive, and culturally aware approach to therapy. I believe healing happens when you feel safe, seen, and truly heard. My goal is to meet you where you are, honor your lived experiences, and help you build tools that actually work for your life.
I especially enjoy working with individuals navigating big transitions, those juggling family and career stress, and people from marginalized communities who deserve a space to just be without judgment.
Therapy doesn’t have to feel intimidating. It’s a space to grow, vent, laugh, cry, and figure things out together. If that sounds like what you’re looking for, I’d love to connect..
Thank you!
Hello, my name is Ruth McKowen, I am an Licenced Independent Social Worker and I am happy and honored to do the important work of helping people navigate the challenges and difficulties of life. I have been in the mental health field for ten years; five of those years I worked in crisis intervention, where I had the privilege and opportunity to meet people who were at a very dark point in their lives and to help provide stabilization and hope.
My approach is centered on empowering clients to recognize their unique identity, skills, talents, and gifts, while providing the support and guidance they need.
My goal is help others help themselves to become the person they want to be. I’m very open-minded, non-judgmental, and caring. I specialize in DBT, CBT, and trauma-focused evidenced based practices.
I enjoy working with all ages. I’m an active supporter of the LGBTQIA community. I focus on many issues including anxiety, depression, ADHD, PTSD, etc.

I am an EMDRIA Certified EMDR Therapist specializing in trauma and PTSD, with a strong commitment to evidence-based, ethical care. I take a holistic and integrative approach to therapy, drawing from multiple modalities to address the full picture of each client’s experience. As an EMDR consultant-in-training, I value professionalism, ongoing education, and high-quality clinical practice. I am also a Reiki Master and incorporate mind-body awareness to support healing, balance, and resilience.
I’m not the kind of therapist who just nods and asks how that makes you feel. That’s not what most men need, especially when it feels like it’s falling apart.
I work with men who are overwhelmed, burned out, or angry and don’t know why. Men who feel stuck in their heads, disconnected from the people they love, or like they’re always one step away from snapping. Some are facing divorce. Others are trying to be better dads, partners, or sons, but they often feel like they’re failing. Many were pushed into therapy by someone who cares about them. Almost all of them stay once they realize it helps.
My approach is practical, honest, and built for the real world. I use tools from CBT, mindfulness, and solution-focused therapy, plus a good dose of common sense to help you understand what’s going on and actually do something about it. No psychobabble. No lectures. Just straight talk and strategies that work.
If you're tired of feeling angry, lost, or numb, it's going to be okay. You're not broken, and you're not alone. This isn’t about becoming someone else. It’s about finding your footing and getting back to who you were before life got so heavy.
Hi! It's just Jamie. I have been in the social service field since 1999 where I started as a case manager and worked my way up to where I am today. I do not feel like there is a population I have not worked with over the years. I am a mom first but my husband at times has said I am married to my work. I am very laid back but will advocate for my clients as no other. Some of my former clients refer to me as a pit bull when it comes to them getting what they need to be successful, I am a advocate by nature. My hobbies include trips to the ocean, riding on the back of the motorcycle, writing and star gazing with my kiddos.
I’m a therapist who believes people deserve a place where they can breathe, slow down, and feel understood. For more than 25 years, I’ve helped adults navigate anxiety, trauma, stress, and life transitions with a steady, compassionate approach. My style is calm, warm, and down‑to‑earth—I meet you exactly where you are, without judgment or pressure. I deeply value every person I interact with. Everyone is welcome here.
