Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
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.

Morgan Liptak
Marriage and Family Therapist, MAS-MFT, LAMFT
I am passionate about helping individuals and couples in the millennial and young adult age-range and who are navigating relational difficulties, life transitions, identity shifts, anxiety & depression. While my passion for mental health started long ago, I have slowly found myself drawn to this specific age group and the unique set of challenges they are facing. Having faced many of these challenges myself, I get what it’s like to walk in your shoes and hope to offer guidance and support in your journey towards healing.
I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). I use Relationship (Re)Programming, an attachment-based approach, to provide couples counseling. I am also a Prepare/Enrich facilitator for premarital counseling.

Ema Grant
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS LPC
I specialize in addressing grief, disappointment, adjustment to change, and trauma, particularly in early adulthood and midlife. I also love working with men and the unique issues they face. Through the work of therapy, you can learn to express and experience your emotions, build healthy relationships, heal past trauma, process grief, and create meaning and purpose in life. Therapy helps us develop resiliency and hope - the confident expectation that good will come despite the pain of current circumstances.

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.

Brie Chandler
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
You may be feeling lost, anxious, and don't know why everything that used to work to feel better isn't now. Maybe it feels like your relationships are suffering, or like you've never even had a healthy one. Every little thing added to your plate feels so overwhelming and it might be easier just to shut down. You might worry you're "too much" or feel like you can't do anything right. At a young age you realized it felt safer to hide it all away and never stopped. You tell yourself, "everyone has childhood stuff, I'm fine," ...right? One thing you’re sure of is you want to feel better, safe, like you have direction. You’re ready to have quality relationships and leave behind old patterns. Most of all, you’re ready to feel good enough.
