Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT)
LAUREN KIMBROUGH HOLLER
Counselor/Therapist, M.ED, ALC
I'm passionate about helping women, teens, and families move from overwhelm and disconnection to confidence, peace, and lasting well-being. Whether you’re struggling with toxic relationship patterns, body image, or stress, or simply ready to create healthier habits, you don’t have to walk this path alone. Every person has a story. Every story is unique. That’s why I don’t believe in a “one-size-fits-all” approach. Instead, I meet you where you are — physically, emotionally, relationally, and spiritually — and walk alongside you as you learn to reconnect with yourself, heal, and thrive.
I offer individual counseling for women and teens (anxiety, eating disorders, body image, relationships, stress management). I also specialize in Holistic health coaching that bridges mental health with lifestyle change (nutrition, movement, sleep, nervous system regulation).

Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT)
Dr. Rue PLLC
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Do you feel like you’re always keeping it together on the outside, even when everything feels overwhelming inside? Maybe you’ve achieved so much, but the constant pressure to do more and be more never lets up. Do you find yourself replaying past experiences or carrying the emotional weight of things you thought you’d moved on from? Perhaps you’re caught in patterns like saying “yes” when you’re exhausted, avoiding conflict, or struggling to feel like you’re truly enough, no matter how much you do. These are the effects of trauma and high-functioning anxiety, and they can leave you feeling stuck and disconnected.
I specialize in helping individuals with high-functioning anxiety, trauma, grief, and self-doubt. Using evidence-based approaches like CBT and ACT, I help clients break free from patterns that no longer serve them and create space for healing and growth. Together, we’ll challenge the beliefs that keep you feeling overwhelmed, build tools to manage stress, and reconnect you with your own needs and goals.
Therapy is more than just talking; it’s about real, actionable change. If you’re ready to stop surviving and start thriving, let’s connect. Schedule a free 15-minute consultation today, and let’s work together to create a life where you feel calm, confident, and whole.

Dr. Adam Shafer (Chicago, IL)
Psychologist, Psy. D., M.A.
I do my best to listen in the service of understanding and provide thoughtful responsiveness, which I have found helps my clients connect to their inner life and with others. Using gentle honesty and compassion, I value autonomy and collaboration to help people feel less alone while finding a sense of purpose within their lives and in the world.

Kelsey Ellis
Psychologist, Ph.D., LCP
Many of the women I work with are capable, caring, and used to holding everything together, even when it comes at the cost of their own bandwidth. From the outside, life may look steady, but internally there can be tension, exhaustion, or a quiet sense of disconnection. I offer trauma informed, relational therapy for women who are ready to understand themselves more deeply and find a way of living that feels more sustainable. My work is grounded in attachment and nervous system awareness, and I approach therapy as a collaborative process rooted in genuine conversation rather than quick fixes. If you are looking for a space where you can show up honestly and feel met as a whole person, I invite you to connect for a consultation.

Rising Phoenix Therapy - Dempsey Young, Psy.D.
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist
Dr. Dempsey is a licensed psychologist that provides individual and couples therapy services as well as psychological testing for adults to help people thrive and begin living a fulfilling life as the best versions of themselves. I am not really a sit back and just listen therapist... as I ask you to bring your authentic self to sessions, I do the same and often a lot more interpersonal and direct if needed but of course invested in our relationship as a safe and empathic one. Sometimes being stuck in the trees blocks us from moving forward and to where we want to be. Through therapy, we can work our way through the woods together to the open field waiting for you. You DESERVE to be your best and full self and I believe I can help bring that to your life. Reach out and we can chat about your concerns and get started!
