Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT)
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.

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?

Amy Guido
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Being in relationship with others can uncover areas of strength as well as struggle. If you grew up in a family that didn't do much self reflection, perspective taking, emotion coaching or repair making, you may feel at a bit of a loss with how to navigate relationship struggles in helpful ways.
Perhaps you've vented to friends and family to reduce the tension of the latest disagreement. For most of us though, that doesn't get us the perspective and skills necessary to get unstuck or moving forward more productively. I help people through targeted feedback and support to gain greater relational satisfaction and results. Even if your partner or child won't attend, sometimes the power of one can make a huge difference.
Perhaps today is a good day to take a risk and reach out to see if the change you seek is more attainable than you think. I bring a wholistic, curious, light-hearted, real and down to earth approach that takes into account your unique needs and goals.
If you're ready to try something new and would like support please reach out for help. While I don't accept insurance, I do have current openings. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
