Narrative
Dr. Katy Crone
Psychologist, Psy.D., LCP
My approach to therapy is collaborative and is aimed at helping you develop long-lasting health (both as an individual and in your relationships). I'll help you address individual concerns such as anxiety, depression, self-esteem, panic, sleep issues, job fulfillment, and family stress. Initial sessions will involve a thorough intake so I can be sure I understand the breadth of your background and current problems. I will help you construct individualized goals for therapy, and we will agree on how to best work together. I utilize a variety of approaches and techniques including psychodynamic and cognitive-behavioral therapies.
People struggling with emotional or relational problems have often had painful experiences with others. Therapy offers a safe place to revisit these experiences and break patterns that cause you sadness, fear, or anger. Therapy can help you solve problems in relationships and all types of life transitions, while remaining true to yourself.

Narrative
Lupe Macias-Hidalgo
Counselor/Therapist, License Associate Counselor, (LAC)
As a bilingual therapist, I am committed to creating a safe, affirming space where clients can explore their identities, heal from past experiences, and reconnect with their sense of worth. I believe healing begins in spaces where we feel seen, heard, and validated. My work is grounded in trauma‑informed care, cultural humility, and a deep respect for each person’s lived story. I support clients in navigating identity development, family dynamics, neurodivergence, and gender‑affirming journeys with compassion and steadiness. My intention is to meet clients exactly where they are and walk alongside them as they build clarity, confidence, and emotional resilience.

Narrative
Claire Karakey
Therapist, LPC, MC
I'm not good enough, I can't stand this, I can't trust anyone, I should have known better! Do you ever notice yourself living with similar shame? Truth is, most of us do and as we get older, it is hard to understand that we are still operating in our relationships, jobs and daily lives with these messages. Our goal in therapy is to provide an efficient treatment plan to help clear out some of these false and dysfunctional messages and help you start seeing you're worth.
We work with people from different walks of life and we're committed to providing a compassionate and creative approach to therapy. We enjoy working with children and adults individually as well as within group, family and couple settings. My specialities lie in treating anxiety (performance anxiety, OCD, PTSD) as well as depression, life transitions, chronic pain/illness, grief/loss, and more. We have extensive training in shame and trauma and understand how these impact people's ability to function in their day-to-day lives.
We offer a strength based, client-centered approach to therapy. Every person's story is special and deserves an individualized approach. In therapy our therapists utilize Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Trauma Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy and Family Systems work.
It takes great courage to find hope. We believe in holding space for clients, hearing your stories and working together to help you live your best life. You are not alone in your journey. You will be met with enthusiasm, support, kindness and an open mind in every session.
