Solution-Focused Brief Therapy
Dr. Kahina Beasley
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Let’s work together on finding solutions for your life. When we run into challenges, it can be so tough to figure out the best plan to move forward. Sometimes we just need that extra boost or coping strategy to get where we want to be. Through therapy, I provide my clients with tools to cope effectively when adjusting to these life hurdles or changes. I help you find strengths you may not realize you have, by tapping into what you may be unable to see during your time of stress, depression, or anxiety. Together, we'll collaborate to determine what steps would work best for you to come out of your life transition feeling empowered and psychologically healthy. My therapy model is short-term and solutions-focused, aimed at reaching steps toward your goals as soon as possible to begin finally feeling like your best self again.
Separate from therapy, I also specialize in psychological assessments for children and adults. Testing is typically for school-based concerns, such as learning disabilities, behavior challenges, ADHD, or gifted eligibility. My reports help as needed for clients to receive accommodations in class/standardized exams and meet their life goals.

Debra Nelson
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I understand that your life is complex and there are various demands and expectations at different life stages that can be impacted by situational and mental health struggles. It's important to be mindful of the interaction between those demands and your stage of life.
My experiences are diverse. I have worked for over twenty years with individuals, couples, and groups across the lifespan and socioeconomic spectrum by providing a range of clinical services including assessment, consultation, and psychotherapy. I know how challenging asking for help can be and I strive to work collaboratively with clients, both validating your feelings and experiences while helping you to uncover patterns and obstacles that are holding you back from reaching your goals.
I seek to provide treatment in an integrative way, utilizing Solution-Focused, Interpersonal, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Using these modalities we will focus not just on difficulties, but on areas of strength and positive coping mechanisms. As part of my work, I am always happy to collaborate with medical doctors, attorneys, in-home therapeutic teams, and school systems to ensure that all providers working with you or your family are in sync with the goals you are striving to achieve.

Dr. Abrielle Conway, Rooted in Grace Psychological Services
Psychologist, Psy.D., Licensed Psychologist
Hi, I'm a licensed psychologist who is passionate about improving women's mental health, addressing sources of anxiety/stress, perfectionism, grief/loss, and trauma. I'm sensitive to the unique challenges women face, particularly related to societal expectations of wives/ mothers, women in the workforce, and other social organizations (like church). Women often come to me when they have exhausted all of their resources and are at the end of the rope in managing their anxiety and stress. I often hear that despite a strong desire to break through their circumstances, they often feel overwhelmed and stuck. They share that they need practical, hands-on strategies to help them overcome their problems.
I take a highly collaborative approach in our work, meaning that while I give clients necessary information to make an educated decision, clients are in control of their treatment throughout the entire process.
To get a feel for my style, I've included several pieces of feedback I've heard from clients who have enjoyed working with me:
1. "You see me and you hear me. I'm not alone anymore. This is the first time I've felt so understood."
2. "You are a safe place to just be myself with all my imperfections. I don't have to worry about putting on a mask."
3. "You give me practical tools to help me deal with my problems. I've made so much more progress in working with you over the past month than I did with my last therapist in years."

Michele Koenes
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, JD
I am a neurodivergent therapist with a passion for working with others to help them to find a way forward through the difficult parts of life. I have been a licensed mental health professional for over 30 years and I love my job just as much today as I did when I began. I am attuned to my clients unique and individual personalities, situations and needs. I believe that empathy and letting the client set the pace of therapy is imperative to an effective process and the realization of desired outcomes. I offer a wide array of solutions and approaches, all based on current research, in order to find what specifically works for you. Everyone's feelings, circumstances and situation are unique. Similarly, therapy has to be individualized specifically for you. I offer a supportive, safe place where every aspect of you is welcome – even the parts that may be uncomfortable to share. I am ready to begin the process with you!
