Annie Harton Kassell
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
Good therapy does not require a commute or a waiting room. I see clients by secure video across every state where I am licensed, which means you can do this from your own home, on a nap schedule, around a workday, without adding a drive to an already full life. For a lot of the women I work with, telehealth is not the compromise. It is what makes therapy possible at all. If you live in Indiana, Ohio, Iowa, New Jersey, South Carolina, Florida, Colorado, or California, we can meet online.

Ashley Paulson
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, LIMHP, CHt
Feeling stuck, anxious, or overwhelmed? Overthinking or losing sleep? Not feeling good enough in relationships or parenting? I help adults let go of what's holding them back from thriving including overthinking, people pleasing, perfectionism, insecurity, and trauma. I also help parents who are feeling defeated to create more peace and joy at home through connection. All services are online/by video.
I offer a safe space to share, let go, and grow! Sessions go beyond traditional talk therapy to address deeper work for lasting change. Approaches: mindfulness, guided meditations, parts work, shadow work, EMDR, CBT, NLP (regulation & releasing limiting patterns), hypnosis (relaxation, inner child healing, and more), and PCIT (kids aged 2 to 7).
An empowered, authentic life is waiting for you - send an email to get started! Appointments are NOT offered during late afternoon, evenings, or weekends.

I offer online therapy for individuals seeking compassionate, trauma-informed support for healing and recovery. My work integrates Dr. Gabor Mate's Compassionate Inquiry approach, mindfulness, somatic awareness, and evidence-based approaches to support those navigating anxiety, depression, addiction recovery, grief and loss, life transitions, and trauma.
I specialize in working with individuals experiencing emotional overwhelm, nervous system dysregulation, and patterns rooted in early or intergenerational trauma. Sessions are collaborative, culturally sensitive, and paced with care, honoring each client’s unique story and inner wisdom.
Online therapy provides a flexible and private space to explore challenges, build resilience, and reconnect with a sense of grounding and self-trust. I work with clients who are ready to deepen self-awareness, strengthen emotional regulation, and move toward lasting change.

XaHara A. MeGod
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LCPC, R-DMT, CPT
A sacred space to heal the parts of you that words alone may not fully reach. Many people carry stress, trauma, and emotional pain not only in the mind, but within the nervous system and body itself. These experiences can quietly shape relationships, self-worth, emotional reactions, and the ability to feel safe, connected, or fully present in life. I offer compassionate, trauma-informed support for individuals and couples (including LGBTQIA+ and polyamorous partners) seeking deeper healing and meaningful change.
As a somatic therapist, I integrate body-based therapy, mindfulness, and counseling into a holistic healing approach that serves your nervous system to help you process and reconnect your mind, body, and spirit. You will feel more grounded and empowered.
Starting therapy can feel vulnerable, especially when you’ve been carrying things on your own for a long time. Our work together will move at a pace that feels supportive, collaborative, and safe while honoring both your lived experience and your body’s natural wisdom for healing.

Kari Carter
Life Coach, APSATS certified, ACC, CPC, ADOH
If you are living in the aftermath of betrayal, you may feel disoriented, anxious, hypervigilant, or unsure of who you are anymore. Betrayal Trauma is not simply a relationship issue - it is a nervous system injury. I specialize in working with individuals who have experienced infidelity, sexual addiction, relational deception, and attachment wounds, offering a partner-sensitive, trauma-informed approach that prioritizes safety and stabilization first.
As a Certified APSATS Coach with advanced trauma training, I understand the unique complexities of betrayal trauma and the harm that can occur when it is misunderstood. My work integrates structural trauma recovery models with compassionate, steady support. Together, we focus on nervous system regulation, boundary development, clarity around next steps, and rebuilding your sense of self.
Healing requires more than advice - it requires feeling seen, believed, and supported while you regain your strength. Whether you are discerning the future of your relationship or learning how to trust yourself again, you do not have to navigate this alone.
