Meredith Ries
Licensed Professional Counselor, Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Making the decision to come to counseling is not always easy. I aim to provide a comfortable environment for clients to open up and meet them with compassion where they are at. The healing process takes time but you are worth the time it takes to feel better! I have experience working with childhood trauma, domestic violence, self-esteem, boundary setting, depression and anxiety. If you're looking for extra help moving forward, I am here for you!

Ann Abbey
Limited License Psychologist, MA, LLP, RYT
Do you ever lie awake replaying conversations, wondering if you said the wrong thing, or wishing you could take care of everyone without feeling so depleted? Maybe you move through your days on autopilot—doing everything you’re “supposed” to do—yet still feeling a quiet ache inside. You want to slow down, feel more present, and experience real moments of connection and joy. But no matter how hard you try, something still feels off. You just want to know that you’re going to be okay.
Together, we’ll gently explore what’s keeping you up at night and what patterns aren’t serving you anymore. You’ll have a warm, grounded space to bring your worries, your exhaustion, your questions, and the parts of yourself you’ve kept hidden. I’ll meet you there—with care, honesty, and the kind of support that lets you show up exactly as you are, without performing or pleasing.
In our work, you’ll begin to reconnect with your inner steadiness, soften the fear and self-doubt that keep you stuck, strengthen the relationships that matter, and make room for more ease, clarity, and joy.
Sessions are available by video or phone, making it simple to get the support you need. If this resonates, I’d love to talk. You can reach out through my website or give me a call; I look forward to connecting.

Carter Doyle
Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, PMHNP-BC, EMT-P
I work with adults who feel worn down by trauma, spiritual or religious harm, and identity-related stress. Many clients arrive feeling “functional” but internally stuck in fear, shutdown, shame, or exhaustion. My office is a place to bring the real story without needing to minimize it.
I’m a Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner who blends psychotherapy with careful, collaborative medication support when useful. Sessions often include parts work informed by Internal Family Systems (IFS) and EMDR principles, with practical skills from ACT to help you move toward values, not just symptom control. I welcome LGBTQ+ clients and people recovering from SOGICE experiences with special care and respect. We move at your pace and build change meant to last.

Imagine Recovery Counseling LLC (Kristen Gidel Kelly)
Counselor/Therapist, LPCC-S, LICDC, CTTS, Certified EMDR Therapist and Consultant
Kristen Gidel Kelly: FOUNDER, Imagine Recovery Counseling
The first thing you need to know about me is that I am not your Traditional Therapist (I’m an EMDR and DBT nerd and super passionate about what I do!) and everyone that works for me is an extension of me and my values. I value both the science and the art, creative, and personalized experience of therapy. I value both ethical practice and the need to adapt the science that I have to fit the needs of the human being sitting in front of me.
My values regarding client care:
Trauma is something that happens to you, it’s not part of your identity. I work with trauma because I believe people can change and heal from their experiences. I seek to empower people to heal and grow and I truly believe you can. I have lived experience in most of the conditions that I treat or I have worked with them for a long time and have extensive training. You will not intimate me with your experience. I often tell my clients, “If I don’t know something, I will find out”. Many of the clients that come see me have had a prior therapy experience that did not go well. While I always remain humble in what I do and let folks know “You are in the driver’s seat”, I want to make it clear that I have 18 years of experience in what I do and I’m always learning and consulting with experts to be the best version of myself for my clients and my staff. I go to my own therapy and work on my own stuff. Lastly, it is part of my professional and personal ethics to respond to all client referrals within 24 hours. I feel strongly that if you reach out, I will respond. I keep our wait list intentionally low because I do not feel it’s ethical for folks to wait a long time to get help.
My values regarding my group practice:
I worked in community mental health and government for 17 years. Many times, I was working in a toxic, oppressive workplace and was extremely burned out. It is highly important to me to provide a healing and safe environment for my staff. I pride myself on hiring folks that are deeply aligned with my values, highly skilled and trained (it’s not always about years of experience!), and have the self respect to expect to be taken care of by their boss. I believe it’s important to always be learning. I teach my staff everything I know and provide them with free consultation and training. It is the privilege and a responsibility of a boss to take care of their people. If you work with my therapists, please know that I am taking care of them so they can skillfully take care of you! A lot of folks that come to work with me have been burned out by their previous employer and want something more. I value providing a safe, comfortable, trauma sensitive, diversity/inclusive, therapist centered working environment. Burnout will be assessed and taken seriously and consultation support is provided. It’s so important to me, I write this language into my contracts.
