Dr. Cheryl D La Rotta
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, Ph.D, LMHC
I believe that healing isn’t about being 'fixed'; it’s about rediscovering the person you were before challenges told you who to be. My practice is built on the belief that a safe, non-judgmental space is the ultimate catalyst for change. Here, we move at your pace, trading 'shoulds' for self-compassion. Together, we’ll navigate your unique story with a blend of professional expertise and genuine human connection, ensuring you feel seen, heard, and empowered to lead a more authentic life. Your journey will not be alone.

Dr. JD Wright
Psychologist, PhD, Licensed Psychologist
My approach is grounded in an understanding of the impact of trauma, recognizing that our struggles always exist in the context of our environments and histories. I weave mindfulness and positive psychology into our sessions, aiming not just for 'okay,' but for a life that feels truly meaningful and fulfilling. Trained in clinical hypnosis, EMDR, ACT, and CBT, I bring a diverse toolkit to tailor our sessions to your unique needs.
I see our time together as a collaborative space, where your feedback and active participation shape the path to your well-being. There's no one-size-fits-all in therapy—I believe in finding the approach that resonates best with you and addresses your specific concerns. Let's embark on this journey towards positive change together.

Jenelle N. Ashley
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC, MCAP, CCTP
You deserve a life that feels more peaceful, fulfilling, and genuinely your own.
Sometimes, the hardest part is understanding why you keep finding yourself in the same patterns, second-guessing yourself, struggling with self-worth, feeling anxious or overwhelmed, or carrying the pressure to hold everything together. Therapy can be a space to slow down, understand your story, and begin making different choices.
I work with adults who are ready to better understand themselves, strengthen their self-worth, and develop healthier ways of navigating relationships, emotions, and life’s challenges. Together, we can explore the experiences and patterns that may be keeping you stuck while building greater self-awareness, confidence, and emotional flexibility.
You are the expert on your own life. My role is to provide the support, perspective, and tools to help you better understand yourself and create meaningful change. A strong therapeutic relationship is at the heart of that process, and I strive to create a space where you feel understood, respected, and safe to be honest about what you're experiencing.
