Jocelyn Jarman
Counselor/Therapist, LMSW
I didn't start in a therapy office—I started in a classroom, where I mastered the art of finding missing pencils, mediating playground diplomacy, and helping kids navigate big feelings. It turns out those experiences taught me some of the most important lessons about healing.
As an elementary and special education teacher, then working with children navigating the foster care system, I learned something that textbooks don't teach: healing begins when someone finally feels seen. That belief became the foundation of everything I do as a therapist.
Today, I work with children (ages 5+), teens, young adults, and women facing anxiety, trauma, grief, ADHD, and attachment wounds — wherever life has gotten heavy. Drawing on play therapy, sand tray, DBT, CBT, and mindfulness, I don't believe in one-size-fits-all care. I meet you exactly where you are.
I hold two master's degrees — in Educational Counseling and Social Work — but what matters most to me isn't the credentials on the wall. It's the moment a client realizes they don't have to carry it alone anymore.
You have an innate capacity to heal. I'd be honored to walk alongside you as it unfolds.

Michael Klinkner
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Making changes can be very difficult. I believe that therapy is about finding the inner strengths inside of yourself that can allow you to become the person you want to be. Whether you are healing from wounds from your past or looking to write a new future, change is possible. No two people go through this process in the same way, everyone's journey is very unique.
I have been working with children, teens and adults with a variety of issues for over 20 years. I have in depth experience with anxiety, trauma and depression along with the ways that those issues can affect the members of their family. I have worked in residential treatment, behavioral health hospitals and outpatient settings.
In the beginning, starting to change can seem overwhelming and maybe even impossible. I use approaches that embrace the idea that everyone is different and everyone can just with the right approach to the problem.

Dr. Janelle Louis
Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, ND, PMHNP-BC
Are you or your child struggling with anxiety, mood swings, depression, or lingering effects of past trauma—even though you’ve tried traditional treatment and it just hasn’t been enough? I'm Dr. Janelle Louis, and I use a unique combination of holistic interventions, medication management, and psychotherapy to help children and adults with anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, or a history of traumatic experiences find lasting emotional wellness. As both a licensed naturopathic doctor (Vermont) and a psychiatric nurse practitioner (Arizona, Washington state), I bring a unique, integrative perspective to psychiatric and medical healthcare. My background includes experience supporting individuals with anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, hormonal mental health disorders, autoimmune and metabolic conditions that affect mental health, and trauma-related concerns. With a foundation in holistic, root-cause medicine and hands-on experience in emergency and inpatient behavioral health settings, I provide compassionate, evidence-based psychiatric and medical care that respects my patients’ values, while addressing the full complexity of their needs. I blend evidence-based therapy—including CBT and trauma-informed approaches—with thoughtful medication management and holistic interventions to help children, teens, and adults live their healthiest and best lives.

Grace Judd
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., LAMFT
If you’ve found your way here, odds are something in your world might feel tangled, heavy, or out of alignment. You may love each other deeply and still feel stuck in painful patterns you can’t seem to escape. Maybe conversations escalate quickly, one of you shuts down while the other pursues, resentment keeps building, or trust has been damaged by repeated hurt, betrayal, or emotional disconnection. Over time, couples often begin feeling more like roommates, opponents, or strangers than partners.
Whatever brought you here, you’re not alone and you’re in the right place to begin healing. In couples counseling, you’ll find a space where your nervous system can exhale—where we can slow down, untangle patterns, heal emotional injuries, and strengthen the threads that create secure, meaningful relationships.
I specialize in helping couples slow down these negative cycles, rebuild emotional safety, strengthen communication, and reconnect beneath the conflict. My relationship counseling approach is attachment-based, trauma-informed, and grounded in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Family Systems, and Gottman Method, helping partners move from blame and defensiveness toward understanding, responsiveness, and deeper connection.
Whether you’re navigating chronic conflict, intimacy issues, infidelity recovery, parenting stress, premarital concerns, or the impact of trauma on your relationship, couples therapy can become a space where both partners feel heard, understood, and supported.
I primarily work with couples and adults navigating relationship distress, attachment wounds, trauma, and emotional disconnection.
I currently have availability for in-person and online sessions and would love to connect. Together, we’ll work toward creating a relationship that feels safer, more connected, and more resilient.

Jeni Gutke
Licensed Professional Counselor, MC, LPC
Everyone needs a place for advocacy and validation of feelings to be able to untangle and articulate those things which are not working in our lives. In addition to advocacy, you will also receive a safe space to unburden and have support and encouragement to not only illuminate your gifts and talents, but also to help differentiate emotions which are no longer serving you and empower goals for future Fulfillment. That starts with self compassion and being in the present and allowing space to leave each session feeling lighter with coping skills that can reduce heightened emotions and help direct back to self energy. With a background in teaching both elementary and high school and working in nonprofit organizations , seeing the need we all have for advocacy and compassion has greatly influenced my belief in the human spirit and our ability to heal. Why not live the life we have imagined and make it the best it can be?

Kathleen Field
Therapist, LAC
What drives me in this work is both personal and professional. My own life experiences, and the meaningful relationships I’ve built along the way, have greatly shaped how I show up as a counselor. I’m inspired daily by the courage I see in my clients—their ability to overcome obstacles, heal from trauma, and reconnect with a sense of purpose. That transformation is what motivates me to do this work with care, dedication, and hope. I believe that we aren’t meant to navigate life’s hardest seasons alone. Whether you’re a young adult struggling with identity, purpose, or relationships—or a parent trying to break generational patterns while raising a family—therapy can be a powerful place for healing. I work with motivated individuals and families who want to create healthier patterns and more fulfilling relationships. Many of my clients are navigating low self-worth, recovering from abusive relationships, or experiencing the transitions of pregnancy, postpartum, and parenting.
