Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Alena Porter
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, NCC
My goal as a therapist is to create a safe non-judgemental space for all clients, especially clients who may not click with other therapists such as LGBTQ+, gender diverse, polyamorous or non-monogamous, and kink practicing clients. During our sessions you can be your true self. You don't have to mask with me or hide things about you that you think are weird or unlikeable. Ideally I can help you learn to like those aspects of yourself. You never have to hide important parts of your identity with me because I will never judge you for any reason.

Madelyn Biles
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LICSW
I know that taking the first step toward therapy can feel overwhelming—but you don’t have to do it alone. I work with adults 18+ who are ready to care for their mental and emotional well-being, whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, or major life changes. Together, we’ll create a supportive space where you feel truly heard, understood, and encouraged. Using approaches like IFS, CBT, DBT, ACT, and positive psychology, I’ll tailor our work to fit you—your story, your strengths, and your goals. My role is to walk beside you as you heal, grow, and discover the version of yourself you’ve been hoping to meet.

I am passionate about helping adults heal from the lasting impact of childhood trauma, parental loss, narcissistic abuse, and the complexities of codependency, especially where it affects self-worth and relationships.
I offer specialized adolescent counseling to support teens navigating identity formation, self-discovery, and emotional regulation. My goal is to help young people build a strong sense of self, increase resilience, and develop healthy coping strategies.
I also work with families affected by generational trauma and enmeshed dynamics, guiding them to break free from dysfunctional patterns and create more authentic, connected relationships.
