Monica Pitek-Fugedi
Counselor/Therapist, LPC, NCC, CCATP
Therapy is a unique experience. As such, I work with you to develop treatment goals and strategies that will best work for you. I take the time to get to know you and learn about your history so that we can establish a rapport. I believe that no significant change happens without a significant relationship. Therefore, my goal is to create a safe, nurturing environment for you to feel open to sharing your story.
I work from perspective of understanding and change. As such, I will support you in helping you to understand your self-defeating beliefs, relationship patterns, and the stories that you tell yourself that create your rules for living. I will help you to challenge and reframe thoughts so that you can live your most empowered life.
I work with cognitive-behavioral, acceptance, and commitment, dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) practices to help you manage anxiety and life obstacles. I am also trained in EMDR, which has been proven to be effective in helping those who have experienced trauma.

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.

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!
