Leslie Worley
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW-C
I believe therapy is truly a collaborative effort for healing. You are the expert and the therapist is a conduit. I’m a licensed social worker committed to helping people learn how to live by their values instead of letting emotions and thoughts control their lives. My work focuses on targeting ineffective behaviors, habits, and beliefs and transforming them into effective ways of living that brings people in touch their values. In life, we will always experience a full spectrum of emotions, it's all in our reactions to those emotions in which we build a life we're excited about.
In my practice, I will never ask the person sitting across from me to do something I myself have not done. Meaning, I live my life by my therapy approaches and don't just use them as an "intervention." I also use a lot of humor, direct and transparent communication.
Personally, I love dogs (have two of my own), reading, painting and engaging in sports or exercise!

Dr. Meghan Miller
Psychologist, PsyD, LP
I work with high-achieving women, busy parents, and athletes who are carrying a lot and often doing it quietly. Many of the people I support are successful on the outside but feeling overwhelmed, stretched, or disconnected on the inside. My work helps them slow things down, make sense of what they’re carrying, and find a steadier way forward.
I support high-achieving women who are navigating leadership pressure, perfectionism, and burnout, helping them sustain success without losing themselves in the process. I work with parents who are balancing the invisible stress of family life and want to feel more grounded, confident, and connected as they raise children in today’s fast-paced, high-expectation world. I also work with athletes and the parents who support them, helping them navigate performance anxiety, identity questions, and the emotional weight that can come with competitive sport.
Across all of this work, I bring the perspective of a licensed psychologist, executive leader, and former athlete and coach. My approach is thoughtful, collaborative, and grounded in both research and real life. Therapy is a space to feel understood, build resilience, and move forward with greater sustainability, clarity, and confidence.

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.
