Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
Michele Koenes
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, JD
I am a neurodivergent therapist with a passion for working with others to help them to find a way forward through the difficult parts of life. I have been a licensed mental health professional for over 30 years and I love my job just as much today as I did when I began. I am attuned to my clients unique and individual personalities, situations and needs. I believe that empathy and letting the client set the pace of therapy is imperative to an effective process and the realization of desired outcomes. I offer a wide array of solutions and approaches, all based on current research, in order to find what specifically works for you. Everyone's feelings, circumstances and situation are unique. Similarly, therapy has to be individualized specifically for you. I offer a supportive, safe place where every aspect of you is welcome – even the parts that may be uncomfortable to share. I am ready to begin the process with you!

I believe that under the right conditions, with the right tools, and through the right relationships, each of us is capable of the healing, growing, and thriving that we seek. Through empathic attunement and active collaboration, I hope to help you learn to experience, explore, and nurture your most authentic self.

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Getting sick of what's bothering you? Are your thoughts feeling tough to control? Been challenging to unwind, enjoy yourself, or get a good night's sleep? Feeling emotionally lonely, frustrated with family, or disappointed with your friends?
You may be successful professionally and still experience dips in your self-esteem, mood, and energy. Imposter syndrome goes hand in hand with perfectionism, procrastination, and productivity. The irony is you may be working harder than most people around you, and yet feel worse about yourself than they do.
You don't have to keep living like this. Therapy can help you understand how your mind works and optimize accordingly. For example, you can catch self-defeating negative thoughts and reframe them to be more helpful for you through CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy).
You have the right to feel better too.

Eric Pierson
Psychologist, Clinical Psychologist
I firmly believe that having an unwavering belief in the capacity of humans to make their lives better is an important foundation of the work that I do. It is not always easy, but with the right support, and the right tools, people can make sense of their problems, and make the changes they need to build a life more in line with how they want to live.

Rachel Ann Dine
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC, LPC
High functioning anxiety in women looks like: perfectionism, high achieving tendencies, and people-pleasing. Feeling overwhelmed, experiencing worries that keep you from sleeping well, and having difficulty saying no are also common. My expertise is in helping high achieving, ambitious women (who may recognize these symptoms of high functioning anxiety in themselves) learn to manage anxious thoughts, feel more content and at peace with self, and create healthy, reciprocal relationships. Learn to create self-trust, cease the second guessing of self, and feel confident to set healthy boundaries and live life in a way that honors you. Helping women create healthy, fulfilling romantic relationships, feel more confident in the dating and relationship choices you make, and heal from previous hurts in romantic relationships (i.e. infidelity, feeling let down by partners, domestic abuse) using a compassionate trauma informed approach is my subset therapeutic passion. You are so incredibly worthy of knowing what you deserve and feeling empowered to live life in a way that honors your emotional and physical needs.
