Jillian Lees
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
My therapeutic approach focuses on the whole person. Specifically, working with female clients. We carry many different identities within ourselves. I want to assist, through a strengths' based approach, on how you can feel better and obtain greater awareness of your thoughts and behaviors, and why we think and act in certain ways. I work in a collaborative manner with clients, on what may work best for their individual healing. My therapeutic approaches include solutions focused, humanistic, and mindfulness. But I tailor therapy sessions to the individual person, so some therapeutic approaches may be outside of this box.

Anastasia Mitchell
Counselor/Therapist, Licensed Professional Counselor, Art Therapist
As a therapist, I think it is crucial to have a strong supportive environment. The therapeutic relationship is what allows for progress which is built on trust. I take time to get to know the people I work with in order to understand their background and what they are bringing into each session. I value and respect the people I work with and their narrative.

Ruth Weinberg
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
I have nearly 20 years of experience working with clients of all ages on a range of issues including relationship challenges, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, trauma and PTSD, self-esteem, shame, disordered eating and stress related to toxic work and family environments. Many of my clients are survivors of physical, sexual and/or narcissistic abuse. These painful experiences require courage and compassion to heal from.
Every person has the ability to grow, heal, and thrive. Life's challenges can lead us to lose hope or to believe that we are broken or damaged, but this is untrue! Our true nature and potential may seem absent or hidden but it is there and it cannot be destroyed. By uncovering and rediscovering our strengths and abilities, we can overcome challenges, find meaning and purpose, and live more fulfilling lives. Through the self-discovery process we can learn to find understanding and compassion for even the most feared and hated parts of ourselves.
My practice is LGBTQIA+ affirming.

I specialize in working with clients who want to understand themselves better. Do you think you have ADHD?

Do you feel that your brain never wants to quiet down?
These are many of the topics I cover with my clients. Together, we'll work to understand your worries, your executive functioning skills, and create new, effective coping skills.
