Samantha Schaefer
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, PMH-C
Feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or like life hasn’t turned out the way you thought it would? Maybe you’re in the middle of a big transition—becoming a parent, navigating a breakup, adjusting to a new role, or simply realizing that what used to work…doesn’t anymore. Change can stir up anxiety, self-doubt, and even grief for the versions of ourselves we’ve outgrown. You might find yourself questioning who you are or what comes next. These moments can feel isolating, but they’re also an invitation to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and begin again—with support along the way.

Mary Ramatici
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, MSW
What makes my practice different is simple: you are never just a diagnosis or a checklist to me. I take the time to truly get to know you, your story, and what healing looks like for you specifically, because no two people's journeys are the same. If you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or like you're carrying more than you can hold on your own, this is your sign to reach out. You don't have to have it all figured out before you contact me. All you need is a willingness to start, and I'll meet you right where you are.

Melanie Simms
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
I believe that everyone is capable of change. However, we must believe in our worth and treat ourselves with kindness in order to create that change. If life feels hard right now, that's because it is! The bodies and brains that we have were not built for the world we currently live in. Everyone grows up in an environment where their needs were not perfectly met. The ways we dealt with those unmet needs as children become unhealthy coping strategies in adulthood. With conscious effort, reflection, and practice, we can heal those wounds and learn better strategies. That's what therapy is for and I am here to help!
